I just voted in the School Board election. I was the 21st voter at my local polling place for two election districts combined.
I heard that turnout was low. But I had no idea it i was this low.

That looks really amazing. That being said two things.
1. The landing gear is kinda half way out there wonder how they do that.
2. It looks like there is a lot of the planes front end that isn't supported I wonder how safe that is?

It's Snowing in Iceland
It's snowing in Stykkisholmur, Iceland right now. It's not snowing in Buffalo, USA.
And I say that the latter is a good thing.

I keep wondering if we'll make it to December with no snow.

Thanks to (e:all) for all the kind words. (e:paul) - The photo was taken on a trail on the grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens :::link::: near the Burlington Hamilton border in Ontario, Canada.
The woood is part of a railing on a boardwalk over a marsh.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of running into (e:mrmike) at our local Wegmans. It was a nice reminder that the online community extends into meat space.

With out knowing where you two where this is what I will say. Walk down to frozen find that last isle and walk down it and the beer starts at the end. Then the back wall there is a beer cooler. Then there are two doors you can go through it is all beer in there. To the right of those doors are more doors to a cooler like as in the style of Wilson farms or a plus. When that ends there is an entire back wall of different beers. They even have flags hanging. I'm guessing that back wall of beer is about 50% of the back wall. (e:tinypliny) I know you don't drink. But sometime for fun you should check it out if you haven't seen it before, it really is a sight. So it is very easy for things to happen near the beer.

Actually, I think we were closer to the beer cooler. That seems logical as well

I'm guilty of being a non-voter myself. I really only vote in Presedential, Governors and Mayors races as I know nothing about the other candidates nor do I really care enough to spend the time to research it to be perfectly honest. I'm lazy. As are most Americans.
I was #344 out of 28K at my polling place at 7PM.
This election was awful. Our choices were either incumbents or candidatures illegally receiving tens of thousands of dollars from out of town special interests, as written about in Artvoice: :::link:::
Generally, the incumbents were terrible. But, between the incompetence you know and the incompetence someone buys I would rather in the incumbents.
Jay McCarthy is an special disaster. The son of a judge, the product of private schools, a bartender by trade he is replacing one of the few sane voices on the school board. Far be it for me to say anything bad about bartenders, but this man has not shown up to any of the candidates night I or my colleagues have gone to. Instead he has sent his campaign manager. His campaign pitch: "He was a bartender at the pink, so you know he loves you!"
His platform is fluff. His literature with my notes:
Busing - don't let black kids into your white neighborhood!
Accountability - How? He wont say.
A waste of a seat. I hope he does some good, but I doubt he is doing anything more than letting his daddy polish up his roguish GW Bush like son into something respectable.
I usually vote early in the morning so being a single digit voter doesn't seem all that weird to me.
4.19% according to the unofficial results here:http://www.elections.erie.gov/content.aspx?id=133
They said voter turnout is usually 6% and this year was closer to 2%. So sad.
I was #11 around 6:30 tonight :-/
well voter turnout is low generally and if you don't have kids who go to public school then you even have less voters, and maybe even people who do have kids don't really care. I think the only time when turn out for that is good is when there is some political issue with the schools.
