bet we handle at least another appreciation thread.

I was shocked when I read yesterday he was leaving.. but then I started reading more and realized he might not even be going anywhere if the Senate doesn't confirm Pres Obama's new appointment.

In the mean time he's going to focus on Ferguson for one very important Civil Rights issue!..
