The Day Of

Favorite Lawn Sign of 2024 (Red Wing, MN)

Working out my anxieties this election day and to be honest I am a bit out of words. No really. I got maybe three hundred fifty to share with you. Actually now just three hundred forty one. Damn. Now it’s less.

My happy place. An island between two coasts. Seals woke us up in the middle of the night. Biden had not yet dropped out.

Oh for the days of principle conservatives who were wrong on most things but embraced democracy. Who would have ever thought Dick Cheney would someday endorse a liberal senator from California for president. Country over party. Always.

Sunset over New Mexico

We will survive. Maybe bruised. Maybe better focused. Definitely realigned.

Or maybe we will triumph. Maybe this will be the last election where democracy is on the ballot. I cannot manifest the future. Nothing left to do but wait.
