November 3, 2020 - Waning Gibbous Moon at 88% at 10:26 PM, as seen and photographed from my Home in Long Beach, CA on Election Night! Let's Vote for the Moon!
Because it does! We dropped our ballots in the dropbox today. Our county sends a text and/or email to confirm receipt once it is scanned.
Hopefully this nearly 4 year long nightmare will be over on November 3rd!
I have to add a quote from a Flickr friend's page

someone died for your right to do so"

Last evening, in George Square, Channel 4 News's economics editor Paul Mason gives his analysis of the situation here in Glasgow.
The atmosphere in Scotland has been electrifying in recent months: politics is being talked about at every bar, every dinner party, damn near every street corner and, for the first time in my life, there is something like an informed electorate on this island. The people have tasted something of the power they deserve, and we know what it's like to have hope again. I believe that when I cast my vote tomorrow it will be one of the most important things I've ever done, and I'll be voting YES, but I'm going to be in tears whichever way it goes.
My main reasons for voting yes are explained with more intelligence and flair than I have in this article: www.monbiot.com/2014/09/02/someone-elses-story/
For the economic facts to support my decision, see this article: bellacaledonia.org.uk/2014/09/16/a-risk-assessment-for-fu...
However you vote tomorrow, please do your research, and arrive at your decision through thought and analysis.
Change is coming. Hope over fear.
Glasgow, 2014.
This incredible combination of a Citroën SM converted into a pick-up, with an other Citroën SM on a trailer, was the long life project of Jerry Hathaway (1946-2021) from California.
Even the trailer has the hydraulic suspension of Citroën.
The SM enjoyed great success in the USA from the time of its introduction there in April 1972, when it was voted ‘Car of the Year’ by Motor Trend. The USA was the third largest market for the Citroën SM, after France and Italy, and the car was most successful in California. At the end of 1973, the last Citroën SMs were sold in the USA. New rules were scheduled to come into force for 1974, in particular the requirement for ‘impact-resistant’ bumpers, and Citroën was unwilling to make the necessary changes to what was a relatively low-volume model. By the time production ceased some 12,920 SMs had been built, only 2,037 of which were sold in the USA.
Fast forward to 1976 and Jerry Hathaway was by then working at another dealership, which was about to drop its Citroën franchise. He contacted Citroën and clinched a deal to take over the local franchise and and was able to buy his employer’s stock of spares and tools at cost price. It was the start of SM World Ltd, which has since gone on to become the USA’s foremost specialist for Citroën SM spares, repairs, and restoration.
One of Jerry’s customers was John McKibben, a former Bonneville Salt Flats racer, who suggested that the SM’s aerodynamic shape had the potential to make it a speed record car. Jerry had always harboured the ambition to be a drag racer, and when a damaged SM turned up at the workshop, destined to be cannibalized for parts, the project’s wheels were set in motion. The SM was duly restored to concours condition and transformed into an impeccable land speed record contender, retaining the stock hydro-pneumatic suspension and five-speed manual transmission. In the SM record car’s first incarnation the 3.0-litre Maserati V6 engine was left normally aspirated but extensively modified. Equipped with triple 48mm Weber carburettors, ‘hotter’ cams, and high-compression pistons, this engine produced an estimated 250bhp – quite an improvement over the stock 178 horsepower. In its initial configuration the Hathaway SM ran 151.2mph (243,33km/h) at Bonneville in 1979 to set a new F/ALT class record, which was followed up in 1980 by a new F/GC class record of 148.7mph (239,31km/h). The next stage of development saw the Maserati V6 fitted with a Garrett AiResearch turbocharger giving 20psi boost, and in this guise the SM cracked the magic 200mph (321,86km/h) barrier in 1985, clocking a speed of 200.002mph with Jerry at the wheel. Two years later, in 1987, his wife Sylvia topped that with a speed of 202.31mph (325,58km/h), making the Hathaways only the third married couple to join the exclusive 200mph Club. Between them the Hathaways set the following records:
1979. Bonneville Land Speed Trial F/ALT 151.249mph – 243,411 km/h
1980. Bonneville Land Speed Trial F/ALT 148.773mph – 239,426 km/h
1981. El Mirage Racing Season D/GC 175.430mph – 282,327 km/h
1985. Bonneville Land Speed Trial D/GC 200.002mph – 321,872 km/h
1987. Bonneville Land Speed Trial D/GC 202.301mph – 325,581 km/h

I just voted in the most consequential election in my lifetime if not in the history of our country. Here’s hoping the nightmare will soon be over and all we deem good and precious can begin to be restored.

Beautiful sunny day down at Plaistow today, the piece was floating in a lot of space and looking a bit small so I freestyled a Bodesque background. Need to try more things like this and push myself more as really pleased with it.

In this day and age, exercising your right to vote is more important than ever. Here in the US, more people turned out to vote for a midterm election than ever before. Flattery wanted to vote for better canine healthcare, mandatory treats at least five times a day and more tail wagging. Alas, those things weren't on the ballot, but I didn't tell her Instead, I cast my vote that I hope will make life better for all of us, including dogs.
You can read more about Flattery at TalesAndTails.com.

I VOTED...exercising the most basic and sacred and powerful right belonging to ALL American adults. The election is on 3 November 2020. Vote as if your life depended on it. It does.

This bronze statue in Kanturk Park is of Hanna Sheehy Skeffington who was born in Kanturk in 1877. She married Francis Skeffington in 1903 & they both took the surname Sheehy Skeffington (which they did not hyphenate but used as a double name). She was a suffragette & Irish nationalist. She co-founded the Irish Women's Franchise League in 1908 with the aim of obtaining women's voting rights. She was later a founding member of the Irish Women Workers' Union.
She lost her teaching job in 1913 when she was arrested & imprisoned for three months after throwing stones at Dublin Castle in a feminist action. While in jail she went on hunger strike.
She strongly opposed participation in the First World War which broke out in August 1914 & was prevented by the British government from attending the International Congress of Women held in The Hague in April 1915. The following June her husband was imprisoned for anti-recruiting activities. He was later shot dead during the 1916 Easter Rising on the orders of a British army officer, Captain JC Bowen-Colthurst, a unionist from Cork.
Sheehy Skeffington refused compensation for her husband's death (offered on condition of her ceasing to speak & write about the murder). She travelled to the United States to publicise the political situation in Ireland. Her son, Owen Sheehy-Skeffington became a politician and Irish Senator.
She died, aged 68, in Dublin & is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
