History, Americana and other Cogent Imaginations
Quite tumultuous times we find ourselves wandering around amidst.
As reported here, I spent the week before Sandy (WBA) in a few of the middle Atlantic states, namely Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey.
Just after we left the area .... then there was Sandy!
And we spent the next few days checking on family and friends, their well being and property conditions. You have all seen the damage reports and the destructive force of mother ocean. It is just appalling.
What all that mess served to do for me, is to remind me of just how precious our current situation is and how quickly that can become "History". So, it is no wonder for me, that some of the images I made in Ocean City, Md are, or can, become iconic representatives of a time or era past. Nothing From Cape Henlopen in Delaware north to and including the Connecticut shoreline will ever be the same. It may be rebuilt, but never the authentic same. It's sorta like buying antiques....be careful....because there are so many reproductions today that your investment could quickly become negative.
I don't know if that sign is even there anymore. On the Boardwalk at Ocean City, MD.
Now, there is another storm which has been blowing for the past two years. About to strike tomorrow and with the same force as Sandy! If not more because it affects the entire World and not just the devastated east coast. That's right..............A FREE WORLD ELECTION!
It's DBE ... Day Before Election! Where will you be ....Day Of Election... (DOE)?
Voting, I hope. Notice I did not say for who! Or whom? Spell check doesn't handle that!
Suffice to say your vote and mine with either cancel each other out or be additive. In the former we will just have to let other and wiser minds prevail. In the latter, lets just hope it's enough.
Becauses nothing will be the same on DAE!
