In Search of the Human Spirit

Call out the town crier!  I got my absentee ballot and I voted last night.  Off to the post office this morning and my civic duty is done.

As a Barack Obama supporter, I have to admit that I had a moment of the historic filling out my ballot.  I drew the line that connected to Obama and Biden’s square, making sure that it was straight and clean.  After I did so, I had to pause and savor the moment.  Imagine that!  There is a formidable African American running for President of the United States of America and he has a good chance of winning.

I know that both of my parents (in their 70s and 80s now) never thought they would see the day.  I’m only in my 40s, but I’m not sure if I believed it either.  It does make you pause.  We’ve come a long way since I was a child growing up in the 1960s and 1970s.  What seemed impossible then now seems very likely.

Whichever candidate you have chosen, make sure you cast your vote!  It’s your one chance to make a difference and take part in this great democracy we call America.

GO VOTE!

So, nine days turned into a monthy.  Jeepers!  It’s the Creeper (a Scooby Doo reference).  I can’t believe a month has flown by and it’s almost Halloween.

The weather has been confused.  We’ve dropped to the 50s and then risen to the 80s.  I know the warmer temps are only to deceive us into thing Autumn won’t that be that bad.  LOL  Still, it’s nice to enjoy the few sunny, warm days we have left.

October became a confusing month.  As I sent the dog and cat home, another dog was supposed to come stay with me.  But, that didn’t work out.  A week wasted…ah well!

Then Sierra started showing some symptoms of a possible health problems.  Test this week showed she is fit as a fiddle for a 3 legged, arthritic, cancer surviving, 13 year old dog.

So, I am back and I hope to get some stories up this weekend.  Glad to have you back with me and my blog!
