I'm about to board my plane to Washington, DC. It is election day today; people all over the US are voting right now (hopefully...) The general phrase is "Vote", but really we all know that it should rather be "vote for Obama"
And that's one of the few times I'll actually make such a statement.
It's fitting, in a way, that the election is today and yesterday I was cycling around the flood-decimated areas of New Orleans. The biggest thing about it was the way I just turned off the main rode, went maybe two-three blocks and was immediately surrounded by vacant plots. There are a few houses here and there, some fixed up and some falling apart, by the vast majority of the land in that area (Ninth ward) is just empty sections. The house numbers are often painted on the ground in various places because there is nowhere else for the number to be attached.
This is three years after the event. Three years.
Something to consider.
