Say You Want a Revolution?

Where Mr. Tacoma likes to park his truck

I refused to let the midterm-election fiasco ruin our hike this morning by putting it out of my mind; it never entered Becca's mind.  Lucky dog.  Unfortunately, I have the entire rest of the day to lament what is happening to this country.  Just one example of how people vote against their own self-interest.  Governor Sam Brownback has nearly bankrupt Kansas, and yet the good, unthinking electorate of the Sunflower State have voted him back into office.  Go figure.

Happy to be hiking on a cool morning (39 F)

Across the desert to the Organ Mountains
