I managed to get my ballot and do early voting this week at the library. The election this year is NOT a good one to skip.

October always means I want to see friends and family from the past. I was heading to New Orleans and then Austin, Texas to see friends, family, and music shows. Unfortunately I got sick and had to go to the hospital emergency room yesterday. I am therefore only going to be able to see New Orleans on Halloween with no concerts. For Austin music I am going to miss October entirely. I will have to go on longer trips later on because there are just too many limits this month. Better late than never. I am seriously considering moving to another town, and so travel back and forth will not be such an issue. I hate Virginia with all of my soul, and so any reason to get out of it is a good one in my book.

Happy Birthday to the late great author Anne Rice. A New Orleans icon to this day.

It was scary watching the vice presidential debate part where they tried to blame illegal aliens for housing prices. It reminds me of this joke on housing prices. No candidate blamed greedy house realtors, construction, or greedy land sales policies welcome to capitalism. Instead they victim-blame buyers for being bad at budgeting for ever buying fancy brunch or lunch.

It is an adjustment of sails sort of a week. You can choose how you handle things sometimes.

Happy Birthday well wishes to Alexandria Menzies on her birthday today. The party is on Friday so I will post the photos after that day.

My top 20 photos of the Sisters of Mercy show at Baltimore Sound Stage. The sound quality and light show was AMAZING!!! It is a band I have loved since I was a kid. Yet I had to leave early because the only parking I could find was in a two hour loading zone. Every other space cost $40 for ONE parking space which I could not do at all. If I had known parking was that wild I would have taken a Greyhound bus in from out of town. The Greyhound station was only 1 mile away from the venue, and a round trip ticket is cheaper than Baltimore parking.
