LSS

I present (household) infrastructure in recognition of today’s early-voting (very institutional, and supporting of infrastructure). Runoff election: one person/office. I think there were eight officials ready to check us in, and more by the voting booths/ballot machines…and no other voters besides the two of us.

As I moved along, I discussed T-giving plans and cooking obligations with the ladies. I thought the best story was from the voting machine attendant who said she had seven sisters and they were doing everything but the institutional-sized container of mac-cheese she was making/bringing.

LSS = long story short (intended sarcastically)

Composition, bae-bee

Something about the pallets and the diamonds of light made this for me. And the pipe. And the scrolls in the chair backs. Plus the shade of blue of the wall and the horizontals of the bricks. Also, the messiness of the detritus on the painted concrete below. There ya go.

It’s about timing?

The word history traces back to the Greek, where its meaning required investigation/inquiry and research; it wasn’t merely story telling. History also has a context (social, cultural, temporal, etc.), and, sometimes, good luck figuring that out.

Apologies for the two-day delay in posting….

Arrow keys, and more

It was so very pleasant outside this afternoon that I took El_Laptop outside and felt the sun on my face as I typed and browsed and watched the leaves fall.

Mem-ree lane (meaning beach)

One month ago I found this beauty on the beach. It’s prettier than the leaves we raked today, so I decided to reach back for a pretty. You can imagine the leaves (none of them from maple trees).

Numbered days

Arc de neon

Meet the Arc de Neon II. The original was broken by TreeFall I, so we’ve had Arc II for years.

Oops (almost)

I nearly forgot to blog this evening. Guess why? [Nothing to say [especially about current events], in essence.]

One…two…three, now exhale

I saw this fading pot of mums and thought 50–50, 50–50 blooms and dried blooms (with plenty not quite either). Today is a nationwide 50–50, approximately, before the polls closed. After the count, it’ll be no longer 50–50, at least based on the electoral college (almost typed collage 🤣 ).

Label me nervous

I am edgy, worried, and tense. My blood pressure must be elevated. I’m going to Think Pink, and hope for increased calm.

∆t

I’m so glad that most of our devices are reset automatically. What I worry about is my body. This time 🤣 it was totally unexpected. I slept right to my “usual” wake-up time, which of course was an hour later. This nearly never happens.
