This And That...

The view last night from our patio.

Are the Republicans trying to alienate the few women and Hispanics who support them? Questioning Sonia Sotomayor's fitness for the Supreme Court because of her "personal empathy" is clearly an attack on her gender, not to mention invoking the stereotype of an overemotional, hot-blooded Latina...

The spectacle of decrepit segregationist Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) calling for a complete lack of bias on the part of an SC Justice is downright laughable...

Eduction, Church, and State: Is there anything this thoughtful in your local paper today? I didn't think so...

Heat and humidity...

My heart goes boom boom boom (don't miss the great videos.)...

In honor of Bastille Day, a day late:

Carrowholly Evening

I took these pictures from the patio of our house and from a point to the southwest. The house shown is on a small island at the end of a short causeway. We walked five minutes across the causeway the other night just as the tide came in; on the way back, the water was ankle deep in some places. I'm guessing that the house is cut off from the mainland at high tide.
