I know its a little late, but I just remembered taking a picture of the pumpkin slaughter that occurred on my front porch the day before Halloween.
It was as if the squirrels were giving me a warning:
And finally, my Obama pumpkin that the squirrels were kind enough to leave alone:
Here is video my husband took at the event — when Governor Tim Kaine announced that Virginia turned blue and Obama would become president. Pretty exciting. Pretty wonderful.

The packed ballroom goes wild as Gov. Tim Kaine announces that Virginia went blue, pushing Obama over 270.
What a night. What a Party.

Sen. Barack Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, has died after a battle with cancer, his campaign office says.
Heartbreaking.

Tony Hillerman passed away yesterday at the age of 83.
This surely holds special significance for many New Mexicans out there, as any list of famous New Mexicans is most certain to tout Neil Patrick Harris, Georgia O’Keefe and Tony Hillerman.
Hillerman died about a mile away from my parent’s house. He taught at the school where I earned my bachelor’s degree (and, last summer, got married). My father was one of his journalism students.
I forgot, until I was reminded of Hillerman today, how much art has been created in my home state.

Yes, that's whiskey.
Bottoms up!
A much needed break from the divisiveness of the campaign.
Here is McCain at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner in NYC tonight. It’s quite funny.
And Obama’s, equally funny and very self-depricating:
Tonight marked the last time the candidates will appear on stage together before the Nov. 4 election. For more information about the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation, click here.
