Really? September is just around the corner?
Yes, it's true. Where did the summer go? School has started in my area, so the yellow buses are on the road, the face diaper mandates are in place, and early voting begins on September 17. This is Virginia, where we like voting so much we have elections every year! Forty-five days' worth this year. I've applied for and been accepted as an elections officer because there's a need for election integrity and I thought I'd play my part. So, training in person and online is needed. I spent four hours yesterday attending training.
Today, I'm going to my family's for dinner. I haven't seen them in weeks, and I've grown antsy about it. So, I basically invited myself, and am treating them to dinner. I leave on vacation Thursday, so I wanted to get in a visit before I go.
Strapping on the face diaper, I'm headed off to explore and photograph four of California's national parks: Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Death Valley and Yosemite. I've been to Yosemite, but not Death Valley, and that was the selling point for me. I'll see Zabriskie Point, where some of you may remember a movie was made with a sound track by Pink Floyd, John Fahey, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones and others. The movie was a failure, but the soundtrack remains...
Here's hoping everyone has a safe and happy Sunday. Next stop: September!
