***OCTOBER PHOTO CONTEST Prelims posted in GD***

Whew...I apologize for the delay in getting the threads posted. I had technical difficulties with my laptop last night...thought it was fixed...and then when I started working on the threads this am half my post disappeared. My son came at lunch to review what I was doing--and of course, just like taking your car to the mechanic, everything worked fine--so I started over this afternoon and here they are!

Great photos, everyone! This should be a really fun contest!

2. Talk about stress! Congrats on keeping it together and getting them done!

Glad your son came over even if he didn't have to do anything!

They look great!

Now you can relax.

3. Since I gave up on posting the contest this am, I decided to go vote.

Stood in line for AN HOUR on the first day at an early voting location! I have never--in my life--stood in line for an hour to vote! And I've never had to stand in line at all to vote since I moved to Durham in 2021. Never seen a line this long at this early voting location. I was vote #306 when the machine accepted and counted my ballot. (We have all paper ballots in NC).

4. An hour! Good gawd almighty!

I think that this is a good sign. Hopefully Kamala will do well!

I'm going to mail mine today, since they make it so easy.
