yesterday was a voting day in some of the states
wonderful to see such big turnouts
what we chose shows what we value
not just for ourselves
but also for the good of others.

We’re often out of the country on Election Day. It puts a different perspective on it and the local people are mostly interested. It’ll be interesting to see how all this shakes out.

This is the first time in 9 months that we haven’t felt sad, angry, frightened, etc. etc. Yesterday America told trump and his horrible supporters and minions that we have had enough! Let this big blue wave get larger and larger. We need some hope for the future and a small dose of it just arrived. Chris
