Good News In NH

 The news from here is good.

Maggie Hassan beat out the election denier!

Representative Kuster was re-elected beating out the idiot.

The "Red" Wave didn't materialize!

How did it turn out in your part of the country?

Worried.

Here's our car sitting on a foggy mountaintop in PA at the end of October.  I'm thinking it's a metaphor for how I feel about what's to come in this country after Tuesday's elections. 



Will I have an idiot 2020 election denier elected to represent me in the Senate?
Will my representative be just as clueless about democracy?

Will the state representatives be against a woman's right to choose and public education?

I'm in a fog of worry.

Wednesday's Hike

 I missed the last two Wednesday walks because of illness and then traveling so today's walk felt good.

We went south from our gathering point to Claremont NH and parked to join the Sugar River Rail Trail. It was a 4 mile hike roundtrip next to the Sugar River.


Train tracks are long gone but the trail is well maintained.  The highlight of the portion we walked are two covered bridges.


The first was the Pier Bridge.










The second and our turnaround point was the Wright Bridge.







The temperature got up to 60ยบ or more so it turned out to be a beautiful day for our hike.

Next week I will miss again as friends are coming to visit.
