It's gonna be a long one....

Today is Election Day here in the USA. 

In Suffolk County as with most of New York State, we have new voting machines. They have caused problems in the way we get information from them and so we've had a couple of contested races. Today we have a few heated races and it's already being said we might not know the results for a while. 

I made this photo about two weeks ago at Jones Beach. The beach seems to go on forever. I'm sure tonight will seem the same way.

Lifeguard Shack, Jones Beach

The Lifeguard Shack at Jones Beach. 

The place sure looks different in October. 

 My wife and I were originally planning to hold our wedding reception a few hundred yards from this place. We left a deposit and everything. 

A few days later, we received a phone call telling us a mistake was made and there was a fire department diner scheduled for that same night. They tried hard to get us to switch our date. We were disappointed and found another place.

The day before our wedding, Hurricane Gloria came and destroyed the catering hall. We had our reception elsewhere...

funny how things work out sometimes.
