It’s supposed to snow and rain for two days straight. Not great for photo or dog walks. Just realized that yesterday was my eighth anniversary for this blog. Wow!

Not quite the super moon, but a lovely moment with my family last week, as the sun was beginning to set.

Cloudy Day in the USA

Today is the election day. May the sane one win.

My favorite article about the election from The Guardian
Forget fear and loathing. The US election inspires projectile vomiting
Here’s an excerpt
Back when America was “great” – say, in the 1970s – the most unpleasant emotions a presidential race might inspire were “fear and loathing”. We expected our political process to provoke antagonism and ennui. We did not expect it to trigger projectile vomiting.

But this year is different, with psychotherapists reporting widespread depression, insomnia and digestive problems among the electorate. Record numbers are voting early, by mail, as if to purge themselves of all connection to the proceedings.

Add in the realization that the whole world is watching this spectacle and the sensitive American is likely to feel something akin to physical shame – as if someone had walked in and found them deflowering a close relative or a pet.
