There’s Craziness In The Air/ Sarah Palin/ President Clinton
Hey! The world is getting crazier and crazier! Don’t you feel it in the air? Don’t you sense it every time you turn on the tube? Much of it, of course, has to do with economics. When gas prices went up they took with them a lot of comfortable routines.
“This is what we like to do on Friday night”. Forget it!
“I really enjoy my trip to Starbucks every morning”. But now I’m going to Burger King! Yuk!
“My nest egg was in my house”. Gone!
“My retirement fund was with Lehman Brothers”. Where is it now?
I just feel a certain restlessness in the air. And then I saw something on television about a gathering of the rich, famous and powerful in New York City this weekend. Sarah Palin the naughty librarian is going to be there with her family. The French President is going to be there with his attractive wife.
Former President Clinton was on Letterman. So he’s in New York too. And he had some nice things to say about Ms Palin! I bet he would like to share them with her in person. But he said not a word about his party’s candidate for president! Chris Rock was next up and sat in a chair still warm from contact with presidential power. And he happily criticized Clinton.
New York City!! A nice place to take photos in the coming days! I had to laugh when I read that the media guys were not going to cover Palin because she is trying to control them in Alaska. That is such a joke. If it moves and makes news they will cover it.
I just wish I was there. Maybe I will get on the train tomorrow in downtown Richmond and head on up the track. But I can’t sleep outdoors and hotel rooms are going to be hard to find. I wish my sister still lived there. Darn! Anybody from NYC want to put me up? It could help you fill up your tank for a month or so!
Changing the subject. Here are my first attempts to photograph lightening. Not so great right? It would be really cool to get a photo looking straight up into the cloud!
Or maybe not.
I’m feeling the craziness too.

Since I’m not going to make it up to NYC here’s a photographer who is already there and taking some cool photos of the place. I discovered him today thru Entrecard.

You’re right about the craziness in the air. I will be so glad when this election is over.
As for the lightning pictures, I think they’re pretty spectacular. Getting pictures of lightning is extremely difficult because you have to react perfectly. Often the shot is blurred because you jerk when you hit the shutter. You did a nice job of getting these shots.

Your lightnings are great, I agree with Lee!
And I have to say, I’m happy too, more than happy when this election circus is over soon. I think no one of the candidates is good enough to take America out of this crises we are in now and we will be more later in time – and for sure NOT with a candidate like Palin. She is more a joke… America wake up please!

re: Lightning. “Not so great..”
Are you crazy?!! LOL LOL
These are AMAZING. I am totally impressed. I was stunned when I scrolled down after reading about our crazy times now…and then I saw the lightning. WOW!!! Lucky you. If you saw mine then you could say, “Not so great” and I would definitely agree. LOL
I think things get craziest when the ship is starting to sink. I also sense new/better things acommin’ . The old way is clinging and fighting for it’s life. But eventually it will sink like dead weight and the light (lighter) will float on the surface and shine. I don’t know how long it will take but it will happen.

Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air. She’s witty, smart and a worker unlike most politicians. She has done a lot of good work in Alaska. She is smarter than most people give her credit for. She’s not just another beautiful woman. I think this country needs a big change and Sarah can do that. Let’s get rid of these money/power greedy politicians! Great post and very useful
