Election Day

I am not so much concerned about who wins the election as I am about CNN returning to reporting news instead of punditing us to death. I used to love CNN. I can't stand them now. Too many pundits; too much punditing too much of the time - virtually all the time. I've been thinking that they won't have a clue of how to report the news any more since they've basically slanted everything to punditing.
And, yes, I voted. Why do we have to vote for 8 judges when there are only 8 on the ballot? What is the point? And I am becoming more conservative with my advancing age. I voted for all of the bond issues, for the art gallery, the aquarium, the theater, etc. but voted against the community planning grants because I figured that was just money for the mayor to dole out to her friends for more useless "studies". I know that bond issues always pass anyway, but I just couldn't ethically give the mayor more power over more money since she has already been charged with ethical misconduct.
The wedding was interesting. It was put together quite well. They had a disc jockey who played music during the ceremony - classical pieces. He got them almost all wrong. I had to wonder whether or not I was the only one who knew. The bride and groom muct have chosen them. I didn't say anything, so I don't know what happened. The wedding was built around a wine theme that worked quite nicely for October. It was also interesting to be a part of the older crowd at the wedding. The young people were definitely their own crowd and uninterested in the older folk who were mostly family. But the family enjoyed the celebration of the day, and as we all age, these sorts of occurrences are treasured.
Hmmmm, only one post in October. Surely there are more musings than that! You bet! Notice there are actually three postings in this one. I just need to spend the time to write.
