Car bumpers are my billboards, billboards my movie screens. Nothing I can say can be used against me. My life flashes in presence of my face daily. Here's a shot of me as a baby. Then marrying. My kids drink all their milk which helps the dairy industry. A ballot for me is not merely a pat on the second for America! A ballot for me, my fellow Americans, is a ballot for everyone like me! If I were the character who made promises I'd probably get by saying: America, relax! Buy big cars and teasing your hair as richly as the Empire State Building. Inch by inch, we're buying the world's sorrow. Yeah, the world's sorrow, that's it! The former side will let a lot to say about pork but don't think it! Their graphs are sloppy coloring books. We're just fine-look at the way everyone wants to talk English and live here! Whatever you mean of borders, I am the sole candidate to canoe over Niagara Falls and go to snap the Canadian side. I'm the only Julliard graduate- I will exhale beauty all across this large nation of pork rinds and gas stations and scientists working for cures, of satellite dishes over Sparky's Bar & Grill, the rest of breakfast in the mornings, quiet peace of rest at night. - My kids had no train for election day and Saul had a day off to use before the end of the year, so we took the kids plus Adam's friend Daniel Wigle to the National Arboretum to see the fall color in Washington. There were bonsai with their leaves changing - with just a yoke of carpenter bees living in the woods of their enclosure, rather than the scores of summer - and more colour in the forest behind the National Capitol Columns, plus some late summer roses and autumn flowers in the beds round the visitor center, where the big koi are still swimming around the fountains. It was a gorgeous albeit chilly day to walk outdoors. The National Capitol Columns, which once held up the Capitol Building dome, at the National Arboretum. Despite the temper and the cool weather, there were enough of flowers and rather a few bees. .and not a lot of other people around, so we had the situation almost to ourselves. Like Brookside Gardens, the National Arboretum had chrysanthemums on display. The leaves on the trees in the bonsai pavilions were changing with the seasons. The koi didn't appear to heed the cold water. I'm not sure whether the sundials are on Eastern Standard or Daylight Savings time.
Adam enjoyed getting to hold photos for his photography class and projects. We came home in the previous afternoon to vote, which went very quickly; rumor had it that voter turnout was low in our county, and we got an e-mail from our incumbent governor (who was expected easily to kill his opponent) begging us to please go to the polls. Maryland did reelect our Democratic governor rather than the Republican he succeeded, and Senator Mikulski won too, and Christine O'Donnell lost - I was set to go to Canada ASAP if she somehow won - but there's very little good news otherwise. In fact, the only news all night that has really made me smile was Jon Stewart's report, "In New York.Carl Paladino's campaign to not be elected governor has succeeded!"
