BVD in Blue Ridge, Creigh Deeds, Sunset Paintings, elections, politics, rain

Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on paper, 16 x 20.Rain and lightning over the Blue Ridge, headed this way.

Tomorrow morning we get up at 4 to go work as county election officials in our precinct, for the Virginia Democratic primary ... and they don’t let us out until after the polls close at 7 and we’ve recorded the votes. Any registered voter can participate, but these primaries usually mean a very light turnout. So I’ll have some time, and depending on how much sleep I can get, may be able to write and sketch for tomorrow night ...

For all you pollsters whose calls I never picked up, at the moment I’m leaning heavily toward Creigh Deeds.

I might add that that’s exactly the kind of thing I can’t say, breathe, or in any other way indicate, once I’m in the polling place. Something to be thankful for, seriously.
