Voting

SO I do not know how many of you are of voting age, but if you are registered - and why the heck wouldn't you be - make sure you get to the polls on Tuesday.  Check out the ballot you received in the mail last week and research the issues.  Read about what the people stand for and how their election could help or hurt you.  Do not believe what one entity says.  Find out for yourself.  And don't think voting on party lines is the best way.  Different candidates have different ideas and you need to find out for yourself. 

In Australia, eligible voters who do not vote are fined.  Depending on your gender and race, you would not have been allowed to vote in the US just 100 years ago.  So since it is such a privilege to be able to, why the heck wouldn't you spend 5-10 minutes of your day pushing those buttons or pulling that lever?  And get this, if you do not like who is running, you can write in a person.  There are elections that have been won by write-in candidates.... Imagine that...

And coming up... my darkroom and how I put it together.
