election day

After early morning voting (with an unneeded, extremely long and cumbersome ballot) - I spent the next 3 hours thankfully, on a planned walk-about of old-growth paths, through the area's historical coastal settlement at Spanish Point. Heading home I stopped for lunch at Connors Bar & Grill.

Florida is a deep Red State. And it immediately showed. An excited blonde middle-aged woman pulled up a stool next to me. With hat in hand, she proudly shared with me her familiar approval.
