November 3^rd – Post Election

As I write this, I have  just watched the yesterday’s Daily Show a and I just have to say, I’ve been to both Carhenge in Nebraska and the Corn Palace in South Dakota. I’ve also been to Clay Pipe in Minnesota where I saw a dogwood bloom and smelled the air perfumed with the sent of spring. I’ve stood in front of Samuel Clemens’ grave, in Woodlawn New York, that is indeed a mark twain high. Visited Susan B. Anthony’s quiet little grave with its scrap of paper vudun like messages and Frederick Douglass’ memorial in Rochester New York. Visited I have walked across the field at Gettysburg and I’ve been to Fort Sumpter. I’ve been to the Alamo and Fort Ross. I’ve gone sailing amid the San Juan Islands and I’ve sat on the coast of Main and watched the seas eternal churn.

I have relatives all across the patchwork of red and blue states.

On November 2^nd,  the United States of America once more went through our annual elections and our four year Presidential elections. With the highest voter turn out since 1960, millions of Americans exercised their rights.

Now, since this is a website dedicated to all the good things in life, the lifeamgood after the hard day’s labor, I really don’t wish to get into a political polemic of Red or Blue or Purple.

Live is about choices. America has chosen and now it is to the future to see where those choices take us. These were monumental choices and they will affect not just the next four years, but the decades to come.

But I will end on this note, America truly is a patchwork quilt. For a view of how the various counties voted, click here.

It is in diversity that there is strength. It is my wish for America, that we revel in our differences.
