Vote for Change!

I've been down for the count the last couple of days with a terrible head cold and flu symptoms, while keeping an eye on the floods going on in our area.  Looks like we missed the worst of it here but I'm concerned about friends to the south that live right on the rivers that are flooding. 

But I'm poking my head above (metaphorical) water to ask those of you in the states to please go vote today!  (For once I'm glad our county switched to voting by mail, as we mailed ours in last week.)  A lot of people in western Washington (a very blue area) will not be able to wade through the floods to get to the polling booths today.  So your votes will count even more.  As Michael Moore says in an email delivered this morning, "IT'S A NATIONAL REFERENDUM. Although candidates' names will be on the ballot today, this election is NOT about this candidate or that candidate. Make no mistake about it: This election is nothing less than a National Referendum on George W. Bush and his War."

And MoveOn.org has organized a "Call for Change" campaign:

Do what you can today. And, to our friends outside the states — any energy you want to send our way is most appreciated.

Thanks, Joanna. Feel better soon! Or rather, feel better now. Hugs.

Oh dear, Joanna, you are in the grip of a virus too? This is one of those pivots in the seasons when there are all sorts of "bugs" making the rounds, and they are all bad news. I have one too and am trying to keep the beast at bay with rose hip tea, books, my rocking chair by the window and a favourite old quilt to wrap myself up in - it is almost impossible to stay warm with this bug. Be well, Sister Mermaid. Love cyber rose hips and BB, Cate
