Today was local and state election day here in Tennessee. I did my civic duty and went to my local polling station to vote. We still do paper ballots with electronic tabulation here so I don’t get that thrill of going behind a curtain to a voting machine. Voting is as important for local and state races as it is for the federal and presidential races.
Americans, don’t forget to vote on November 5th. That’s a big one for reasons you know already.
This morning we went out to eat for breakfast at a local place called Sabor Modern Latino and Sushi where they have some great food. I had the huevos rancheros and The Soup Diva had a big breakfast burrito. You can get breakfast all day long in addition to their lunch and dinner options including good sushi. If you are ever in Chattanooga, Tennessee you should give them a try if you are looking for something unique and different.
It was cloudy where I was for today’s eclipse and I tried taking some pictures. This one heavily cropped photo was the best I could do. It was still exciting to witness this spectacle happen.
This is St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. For the last five weeks we have come here on Wednesdays to participate in the Thorne Sparkman School of Religion that is a series of lectures on matters of faith. We have talked about religion in the public square this year and have had some great speakers talk about that heady subject. It’s been a blessing to be here at Lent where we have worshipped and fellowshipped. Thanks to our friends John and Connie for sponsoring us.
