At least I know one guy who won and a big Congratulations go out to incumbent Mayor Bob Link. It was a landslide! Although no one ran against him which I have to wonder, when the last time a Columbus Mayor did not have to actually worry about winning. Seriously - when was the last time? We have had a new Mayor every two years since the late 1800's. He must be doing something right . . . .or in Columbus terms . . . he must not be doing everything wrong! I know from my point of view he has ruined Columbus as nothing funny ever happens anymore.
In fact I think he is the worst Mayor ever - no one ever talks about our little town, once again we are forgotten. I think he has to do something completely outlandish and bone headed to get us on the map again. get people talking about Columbus. We need more conversations like "Did you hear what Columbus did THIS time?" BUT NOOOOOO! The biggest controversy has been having to use clear garbage bags! WOW - that will get people talking.
Then there there is this whole other election between Prosser(sp?) and that b*tch (his words not mine)Klopperberger(sp?) who I voted for. Yea - I can see this one taking a while!
Madison as a new old (in many ways) Mayor. Ewodd can now claim he has picked more winners in his ONE TIME VOTING then I have in my entire life (OK OK - I did vote for that foreigner Obama).

Couple more photos from Monday. The first is of the Braves pitcher Beachy. Not bad from a LONG WAY AWAY with a 105mm lens.
HE'S OFF THE RUBBER!!!!
And we did a walk about in the 6th inning and I got this shot from a different vantage point - BTW - the photo yesterday of Miller Park is great for background on your computer - I really like that one!
And - I like that dudes head shot on the left - sort of Norman Rockwellish.
I suppose I should go into work at some point - no one has contacted me so everything must be going smoothly . . . or nothing is getting done and all is normal. Hard to tell. I do miss people at work though - weird. You work with people everyday and value their strangeness (it always made me feel much more sane then I probably am). Seriously though I do miss the companionship, the bickering and cutting down of management and buffoonery of the people giving you assignments!
hmmmmmm
My you tube video of the day is ROCKIN - Steven Tyler and Carrie Underwood at the AMA! WALK THIS WAY!

Of even Tyler ever thinking he would be performing at a Country Music Award show.
