Super Tuesday is more of an afterthought for me. I voted absentee ballot almost three weeks ago. As a registered Green party, my ballot was limited. I gave the usual vote to Ralph Nader and a No to all the initiatives. There were only the Indian Gaming and not much else. Carlsbad had nothing going on so it was short. Now it's a matter of seeing who wins the main party nominiations. In Missouri, you can request any party ballot that you want. The voters there are not limited to their chosen affiliation. I wish every state would go that way. No matter who wins each party, the upside is that more people are registered to vote than ever and the candidates are raising interest in politics and the importance of voting like never before!

Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
Stained Glass - Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro
Yesterday's tour included a quick stop to run inside the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro and take photos of the stained glass. Glass looks best when it is sunny outside and we had sun in abundance! I need to find a camera setting that works with cathedrals. Stained glass is one of the more difficult things to photograph well.
I voted by absentee on Saturday. I'm glad I waited because my original candidate dropped out the race a week ago, so now my vote didn't go to waste.
