Perspective

[SorellaLaBefana]

Jennifer Ladd ... watched as a turbulent sky morphed over the process of a few hours in the strong winds above Longmont, Colorado...

...‘I live in New England,’ said Jennifer, ‘so it lifted my spirits to be out beneath this huge sky and such powerful, roiling clouds.’

2. Thanks George, I voted for YOU :)

5. Oh You're welcome SorellaLaBefana! Thank You! I wanted him to win.

I chose George McGovern for my username because I voted wholeheartedly for him in 1972. Broke my heart when he lost. I consider Mr. McGovern the greatest president who never was.

7. Ditto. One of my fondest memories of political activism was from 1972.

My college classmates and I went up to NH to campaign for him prior to the Dem primary. IIRC, he got 37% of the vote, establishing him as a legit candidate. And the rest is history (including his VP choice, Thomas Eagleton, stepping aside when it was revealed that he had hidden his "shameful" past about being treated for depression; the campaign never regained its momentum).

A nice bit of irony: my current Congressman is Jim McGovern (D-MA), and he lives up to his last name (no relation).

8. So lovely! Thank you for sharing!

And the cloud appreciation site is an awesome resource. I’m thinking of sending a gift membership for my son to share the magic of clouds with my young grandson!
