Andrew and I are back from four days spent in Hood River, Oregon. It was the closest thing to a real vacation that we've had this year. It was peaceful... lots of nature and very little politics. Well, except for the dueling yard signs. Once you get out of the (liberally-minded) Portland metro area all bets are off and there were plenty of endorsements for both candidates. I kept an informal count going and I think the Biden/Harris team ended up ahead by one. Damn.
We stopped at the Bonneville Dam/Tanner Creek area on our way home, I was taken by this large moss-covered rock and snapped a quick photo, then I looked closely at the background.![]()
U.S. Government. Who is the U.S. Government? Us, the people? Do we have hope? As I write it's Tuesday night, election day. When will we know who our next president will be? Will I delete this post before it goes live on Wednesday morning? Will I be inspired to edit, like I did back in 2016? Or will the unknown spill into the days ahead as we wait for the official word on who will lead our nation? ![]()
I kept a stiff upper lip into the election night results, that is until I read these words: "I don’t want to wake up on Wednesday feeling like I did 4 years ago" damn. Then I teared up.
