re: pic @ 681 --> Oh, WOW! that's powerful. Thanks for sharing it.

P.S. second thought that popped into my head --> I hope he got taken care of in time to go back and make his vote count.

Even though we live in paradise, sometimes I grow a little tired of this planet and all of it's endless problems.

Often I have a desire to leave, and since I can't afford to build a spacecraft, I figured the next best thing was to visually leave, so I decided to build a small optical astronomical observatory and take images/photos of the universe. Some are posted below.

This is who you are dealing with. This is from his profile page...nuffsaid

Me too, I hope the officials would have given him a ballot in the hospital. I'm sure there are others there that couldn't make it to the polling places so I bet the military would have made other arrangements for them. God bless him and all those that sacrificed in the name of freedom.

Thanks for the response.

I did a search, too, when I saw your post address. I suppose one has to be registered here for the name to show up in an address.

strange choice of suburbs considering religious differences and allThere's a big mix of people in Skokie, although it's best known for it's large Jewish population. The Skokie site was in the Assyrian Cultural Center. It's near two I-94 exits, so convenience figured in, I guess.

But then again, during the Jewish High Holidays, usually there is a Skokie PD car in front of each synagogue. So the local law enforcement is experienced in this sort of thing.

I left Long Grove in the early 80's and headed south. The thing I remember about Skokie is that the older Jewish folks stayed there, and the younger yuppies moved out to Buffallo Grove/Vermon Hills etc. That's been a long time ago.

[Land_of_Lincoln_John]

Still going on, that migration you to Buffalo Grove. It's believe that Skokie is about 1/3 Jewish. It's believed 25 years ago, Jews were half the population.

Glad to see you back. VIVA CUBA LIBRE!

Thank you so much for the ping..these pictures are absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine what it feels like to be so overwelmed with joy to vote..we take so much for granted in this country.
