    And those pictures are heartbreaking.


    Campaigning much, listener? And are you wearing the Seuss shirt?

    1. No campaigning at all. I barely had a week's notice! LOL! Definitely wearing the shirt to work at the Library and to count the vote; not sure yet about the working at the polls part...might seem too flip.

    2. Ironically, a B&W version of that same "We lost everything" sign won a prize at the Fair.

    3. Any news about *your* rose picture?

    4. Yep, it didn't win anything. There were several that focused on petals, so it blended in more than you'd expect. It was hanging near the top of the wall, and slightly crooked so I couldn't straighten it! That kind of bugged me, but with hundreds of photos all hung by volunteers, it's understandable. The photo that won was truly worthy, though. It showed the underside of a purple flower just after it was rained on, and the main colours in the photo are purple, green and silver! Gorgeous!

    5. Ah. Flashy instead of subtle. Get it. And understandable. Still, I wish subtle had more of a chance in this world. . . .

  2. So, I sez to my Sweetie, "Did you know that Tampa had a tornado warning today?" And he responds, "I'm surprised it wasn't a 'pillar of fire' warning!" Ever ready with the quick wit. LOL!

  3. Rush is saying the the admin (VIA the weather service) was trying to put a damper on the convention. . . .

    We now have -- Akin, you can't get preggers via "legitimate" rape
    and Ryan, Rape is just another form of conception
    AND this dude in PA who thinks a baby out of wedlock is the same as a rape baby.

    What the HELL is wrong with these men? What rock did they crawl out from under?

    1. The "trying hard not to lust after another man" rock. Or the "dumb as a stump rock". Or they didn't crawl from under the rock - it's still firmly lodged in their skulls in the place a brain should be.

    2. The Dems have had their nutcases over the years, but THIS is breathtaking. . . . Hope someone who votes actually *notices*. . . .
