From today's LA Times: Why Jones Won.

http://beta.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-goodman-jones-win-black-turnout-20171213-story.html#nt=oft03a-1gp2

There was one paragraph in this excellent article that brought home to me the enormity of the challenge we face in duplicating Jones' win. Here:

In Alabama, where voters must show identification at the polls, the state closed ID-issuing motor vehicle offices in multiple majority black counties. Voters overcame this structural barrier to elect Jones, and the Democratic Party can repay them by working to remove it.

It won't be easy, but we can accomplish this. Being aware of what problems exist means we can take care of them.

The whole article is worth reading and I hope you will.

OMIGOD! I can't remember when I felt this good about an election!

Time to celebrate!

Break out your favorite drink and toast the night away!

We must repeat this great victory in the midterms!

Well, the birthday celebration has started ahead of schedule...

My husband and I were out at lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, and we mentioned that tomorrow is my birthday........

Then, this happened:



Our server and one of the cooks came out and they sang Happy Birthday to me!

I was really touched! A candle in my chile relleno!

I looked up Roy Moore on Wikipedia ...

I was trying to find out if he has any children, esp. daughters.

I could not find any info on that.

Anybody know?

Decided to play with my iPhone, with this result:

There is a bit of a learning curve...but I'll get better at it eventually.

MORE fun with Photoshop!

I was looking through my eclipse photos last night and wondered what mischief I could get into with my original Best Diamond Ring Photo. This is the result of my wondering...
