Recent Fortunes

Monday night:

The wheel of good fortune is finally turning in your direction!

Huh, not seeing it so far.

Tonight (Thursday):

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.

I think Hillary feels this deep in her bones.

And,

The real test in life is not in keeping out of the rough, but in getting out after you are in.

Well then.

Also, that does not sound remotely Chinese.

Granted it was from a Polynesian restaurant, so whatevs.

Wynonna Earp, Volume 1: Homecoming

50. Wynonna Earp, Volume 1: Homecoming by Beau Smith

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It took me a couple of issues to get into it, but the introduction of Valdez in issue 3 won me over. As more of the Earp and Black Badge mythology is laid out, the story flow and character interactions get better.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Beau Smith's essay in the back about his visit to the set of the Wynonna Earp television series. He was as excited about it as any Earper would be. I love the enthusiasm evident in everyone associated with the series.

Your Vote Matters, Find Out Where to Vote

Your vote matters, yes, yours.

Want to have a say in things that truly matter? This is your chance. Make your voice heard and vote.

So find your polling place today and make a plan to vote on Tuesday November 8, 2016!

I recommend going early in the day or, even better, voting before Tuesday if it's (still) available in your state.

Visit CanIVote.org, a nonpartisan web site created by state election officials to help eligible voters figure out how and where to go vote.

Click "Find Your Polling Place" and select your state to find out where to vote.

You can also check your registration, find out what ID you need to bring, and check absentee and early voting options at CanIVote.org.

More information about voting on election day is available at USA.gov/election-day. There is also information for voters with a disability.

If you feel your voting rights have been violated, call (866) OUR-VOTE. There will be lawyers on hand to answer Election Day questions and concerns about voting procedures.

Get out there and VOTE!

Life of Art SitRep #351 New Red Lion Amaryllis Flower Photograph

Photography has been the main focus this week, mostly shooting and some editing. Spent an afternoon at a museum both soaking in the art and photographing the location. Good for my soul.

Shot 64 photographs, culled 38.

Culled 13 more photos from shoots last week but also made more panoramas, editing them a bit before exporting them to jpg.

Then I fell behind on my post work. I shot 375 photographs and 18 videos that I've uploaded but not looked at yet. D'oh!

However, I did finish editing a new photograph for my shop, Red Lion Amaryllis Flower:
