egg and cheese sandwich and some coffee when I saw my first real live wild bald eagle! it might not be so exciting for folks in other locations but they are a real rarity here in NJ still, only 60 nests in the entire state.It landed in a tree in the school's playground for a few moments. Me and another two guys saw it. I had my camera and one of the other two guys grabbed his out of his glove compartment of his truck. By the time we started to cross the street to get a close enough shot it started to fly away, I got a pic of it sitting in the tree and two of it in mid flight but all are from quite far away. (i used the "sharpen" feature in GIMP - if you doubt this story and require the originals I can send em to ya - just ask :)
Anyway, I had been sitting on the bench watching all the different kinds of folks go in and out of the polling station, old men, young hipsters, sweat suit moms and pantsuit businesswomen, guys in BMWs and guys in old beat up pickuptrucks, grandmothers and young brothers all getting along and being friendly and courteous, and I was thinking that America is pretty cool after all when... what else can I say, this sign from above came down. I don't know if he was trying to vote or send a message or just tired from flying around but he delivered a message to me, whether he intended to or not :)

sitting in a branch upper left
Soaring away
my polling place, no lines
my flags
my sign (and some gourds I grew)
the preview of the electronic voting booth's setup. no paper trail here in Jersey yet (boooo). all the other parties presidential candidates trail off to the left, there were two different socialist parties, the green party, the constitutional party, a communist party and maybe 2 or 3 other choices besides Barack and John.

Yes, maybe it was a sign, that it is not too late and that America and America's nature and heart needs its citizens help.
So I am hoping!
oh please, that was a rogue seagull someone painted to get you thinking.
seriously though, that is a little weird. i dig the synchronicity.
lol:)
that was a HUGE assed seagull! btw when i was little i couldn't say the word seagull properly - i would say "sig-ul." and my parents and sister and bros would say "no, no, seaeeee-gull!" and i would reply, "yes, sig-ul!" this went on for three or four years.
i also couldn't say "incredible hulk" - i insisted on saying "the incredible hawk."
:) aww the incredible hawk. awwwwwwww.
