Missing DC...

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

One sign that I am missing the District of Columbia would be other people's photographs of cherry blossoms and random buildings like the Jefferson Memorial. Oh, Flickr...

This would be the photograph of both the abovementioned things in question, the Jefferson Memorial and some cherry blossoms.

The photo, of course, isn't mine. But it is nice.

... It is, well, snowing, right now, still:

Or, earlier this morning, it was this bad.

It is, now that it is the early evening, far worse.

In the meantime, I am still mesmerised by the Sirocco Kākāpō incident:

So, tonight I look back at the directions that I wrote to the venue for my wedding (the Catholic ceremony, that is, for those who must know), which included a Google Maps pointer for the church, naturally.

To cut a long story short, not only is the smallest incorporated place (population 29, that is) in Ohio now in Google Street View's coverage (all five or so streets and two intersections in the town limits, albeit just an intersection view of side streets from the main road of the town), the said church can be seen. And there's the church hall across the road, too.

I hear some other queues in Ferguson Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania's polling places are better, and much better at that. But walking past the same local precinct (that I was standing outside of earlier, waiting with my wife for her turn to vote), Mike's Video, TV & Appliance, shortly before (hence the bad photographic quality of the Motorola V325), I came across the following:

Basically, I saw a queue that went in to a neighbouring bank's carpark.

But that was just a preview of the rest of the line:

The queue then went around part of the polling place's carpark quite happily, then past the front of the building ... where it finally went through a really narrow front door.

I write this at around 7.08, with a shade under an hour left. I passed by in a car just about 5 minutes ago, and the queue was about 5 metres shorter at that point.
