Election Day in Georgia

Image
Yes, it is election day in Georgia. We have Early voting but today is the official voting day. From what I saw at the poles and the lines at the early-voting polls, turnout has been very high. I like to put the flag out on Election Day. Gracie doesn't care.

Back from Europe again

Image
I am back from Europe. I am looking for a new car as the other guy's insurance has finally admitted 100% liability. The other driver was a loud mouth and figured if he kept whining somehow the insurance company would apply partial blame to me. It was very clear, the police report, my witness, his bad driving. I am getting some more firewood as it is getting into the 50s at night here in Duluth. The traffic in Brussels was epic, both the driver techniques and the roads and control devices are astonishing for the developed world. I thought driving like what I saw was reserved for Africa. Driving is Paris is much easier than Brussels. The "No Turn" signs were at a fork in the road. And who on earth knows how to interpret these traffic lights. People passing on the left or right just as if everyone was walking through a airport terminal. Crazy.
