Skywatch Friday

Angie sent me this link to post on Skywatch Friday http://skyley.blogspot.com/. These photos are from my trip to Vegas. The sky that night was beautiful.

Where has the summer gone?

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving. I'm glad I had time to enjoy some sunrises and sunsets over the summer. This first sunset is at Lake Anna in Bumpass, Virginia.

This is the sunset at Norfolk Harbour Days taken off a friends sailboat.

I need to get out and rake leaves and do last cleanup in my flowerbeds. Uggh! Anyone want to help?

The Long, Long Wait.....

Well, I thought that I would go vote mid-morning between the morning rush and the lunch rush to try and not get stuck in line. It didn't work that way. I ended up standing outside, in the rain, for 1 1/2 hours. The picture above is down the side of the school building. I turned the corner and could finally see the entrance. Maybe, just maybe, I'm getting close.


Oh, the disappointment. The lines wound around the hallway for another hour before alas I finally got to cast my ballot.

It was frustrating to be in line and people with names starting with I thru O were in and out in 10 minutes. They only had three tables A-H, I-O and P-Z. Guess which line was the longest? Of course the P-Z. I hope they come up with a better method of using their resources next time.

I complain but I would do it again to excercise my right to vote as a citizen of this great country. Don't forget to go vote today!!!
