Politics Is Not Always Serious

For most of my voting life I've been reluctant to talk about for whom I have voted. Even when I've discussed politics, I believe so strongly in the value of a secret ballot that I would almost never admit which lever I had actually pulled. (Even though almost none of my subsequent votes have involved voting machines and levers, that was my first experience with voting and I still think of it that way.)

So it remained for half a century of voting, until the political situation became in my eyes so dire I could not fail to pay attention, and felt an obligation to speak up. But don't worry, this is not going to be a somber political post.

But I simply cannot resist revealing one of the votes I cast in today's primary election. It was for our county school board, and I proudly cast my vote for...

Antonio Pizza!

I mean, who could resist?

The school board elections are non-partisan, but I think pizza belongs at all parties, don't you?

The Ghost Wing

Someone on Facebook captured the hippocampe ailé (winged seahorse) in the winglet of an Air France jet. That's what Porter was trying to get while we were flying from Paris to Florence. Instead, the emblem is completely missing, and all you see is a large, white dot.

But that's not the strangest part of this photo. You beautiful Italian countryside, you see the winglet—but where's the wing?
