Hearsay's Cousin Hits Europe

We haven't mentioned Hearsay's European cousin, Habeas, before, have we? Habeas lives in Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia.

He recently went on a tour of the city, and sent back these photos ...

This is a panoramic view of Bratislava.

Here's Habeas at a World War II memorial in Bratislava.

This castle dates to the eighth century. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Here in the background is St. Martin's Cathedral, where 13 Austrian and Hungarian kings were coronated during the Turkish occupation of Budapest in the Middle Ages.

Finally, Habeas overlooks a bridge over the river Danube, with a round, UFO-shaped restaurant on top.

Hearsay, by the way, is headed for points far and wide in the next little while. Check back ...

We Won

This is, by far, the nicest post that I have made since beginning this blog in early February.

I won, by a total of approximately 2,700 votes.

How can I possibly thank the people who worked the polls for me? Words escape me. One gentleman worked the polls for me today with a temperature of 101. Friends stood in the rain all day long, into the cool of the evening. Again, I can't find the words to express my gratitude.

Thank you. The election, by the way, won't be the end of this blog. I plan to maintain the blog on a regular basis, so please stay tuned.

This Is It!!!

Polls here in the 23rd Judicial District open in just a few minutes. If you've already voted, thank you. If not, what are you waiting for?!? Thanks so much for all of your support over this last year. It's meant more to me than I could ever say.

Happy Halloween!

Adam and Jesse hit the trick-or-treat trail last night, with Rick and I fully in tow.

That's Adam in the Superman outfit (he wore Jesse's costume from last year, but don't tell him) and Jesse as Batman. We went to my mom's house, of course, and both decided to ride their bikes while we were there.

And both promptly got their capes fully entangled in the bike chain and spokes. There for a while, I thought they were going to have to drag the bikes along with them!!!
