All the talk about the bats made me curious, so I went to see for myself. It was a nice day for a walk around the Woodard Bay DNR Natural Resources Conservation Area. I didn't see any bats though.

September 21st Council Meeting Extended Public Hearing at the Washington Center for Performing Arts

After the public hearing at the Washington Center Yesterday I went on a photographic odyssey. It was a gorgeous day, much like today, except there were more clouds and there was less of a gusty breeze. First I went to the port plaza. There were a few other people there also enjoying the beautiful Sunday afternoon.

After that I went to Watershed Park. It was a great day for a walk around the loop trail. The Old Growth Forest smelled great. I saw 7 other people while walking the loop.

Richard Hayes Phillips: Witness to a Crime

How Republicans stole the 2004 presidential election in Ohio

Richard Hayes Phillips Book SigningDr. Phillips has published a book chronicling the 2004 electoral theft of the presidential race. According to evidence that Phillips has compiled, voter fraud occurred was rampant in the precincts of many counties in the state of Ohio.

I found the story of Dr. Phillips to be compelling. I would have bought the book if I would have had 30 dollars.
