Today’s highlight: civic duty. Happily.
It’s early voting, and not all precincts are open, although ours is. We heard that yesterday, the first day of early voting, the state had a record turnout. Our precinct had four machines to receive ballots, and they each had totals of 450 to 500 votes since voting began…. Seems like a pattern.

I look at the lovely photos Apple releases to show off new camera capabilities, and I wonder how much the images’ve been tweaked…color balance, focus machinations, that kind of thing…all possible within the camera, either before or after snapping. Pretty sure.

Tonight’s book club hostess lives in an apartment complex that has a pool, hence this photo. It’s also pertinent to the book, which had many what you could call reflections (Ann Patchett’s “Whistler,” 2026)—recommended.

I looked straight up at 7pm, so just before official sundown at 7:10pm, and I think the new-cam captures more detail.

The worst of the storm here was overnight, although we had rain off and on all day, plus some wind. I got up about 7am, and thought, yay!, we still have power. It went out about five minutes later. Oops. We were VERY fortunate as it came back on about 8:35am, which is when I fired up the coffee maker, and soon the inhabitants were no longer restive.

We took a stroll in the park…beautiful day. They’ve already prepped for big crowds this weekend….
Planning for such events begins years ahead, yet this time a tropical storm, or the remains of one, will be here all day Saturday, with wind and rain, and more wind and rain.
The infrastructure included medium juice boxes…
…also large ones…
…and even very small ones.
End of joke-time.

I manipulated a bridge photo from the other day in an artsy app…came out lovely!

Basil photos, not basil cuisine.
The bee was out of focus, so I tried flash, and it also is ho-hum.
I’m not sure how the basil will taste having gone beyond simply blooming and almost to seed.

In Kentucky, I-75 traverses Appalachian-high mountains, and occasionally clouds sit low. We rarely see this given the timing of our trips, but today we did. Just saying.
In Georgia, we rarely stop at a rest area when homebound, but, we did today. And discovered blooming cherries. MaNachur welcoming us?
