Tiger and Dems and Photo Project

This and that:

-Tiger has a 4 stroke lead going into the weekend at Torrey Pines. His partners later today include Stewart Cink and Kevin Streelman. Streelman, the last alternate to make it, calls his girlfriend on the way to the tee box and she drops everything down in Arizona and arrives to catch up with him by the 13th hole. Very cool.

-Dems going to polls in SC; again low expectations for Senator Clinton and big expectations for Senator Obama. I like the way John Edwards ("the candidate from the grown up wing of the party") keeps hanging around and hanging around. All this could very well end with a brokered convention. Of course, could be all over in ten days with the hugh February 5th primaries. What's your druthers?

-Still got snow on the greens at the golf course. Be gone today, snow-on-greens; golfers want to play tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday.

-Here's something else that is cool that will be going on for a while: The Photo Place Polling Project which asks that people all over America take photos of their polling place and send them in

The Polling Place Photo Project is a nationwide experiment in citizen journalism that encourages voters to capture, post and share photographs of this year’s primaries, caucuses and general election. By documenting local voting experiences, participants can contribute to an archive of photographs that captures the richness and complexity of voting in America.

Very cool - take your cameras to your polling place and become part of the project! Makes me want to head down to South Carolina right now and take some pictures. Can't do it though - got warming weather coming into the area which means get-out-the-clubs time. Let me see now, Indiana primary is... Here's a site with all the primary dates and what's up for grabs. May 6th here in Indiana.

Time for a little breakfast and maybe a little more of my new read: John Fante's Ask the Dust. Of course, that may be just a little difficult since there's a bundle of radical energy bouncing around the house in the person of Ian; he's constantly reacting to something.

Photo Sites: Vietnam at Pbase, Iran at Photo Activitists for Peace

Picture: Fresh bread!

Marty was the one who alerted me to pbase.com, which led me to picture albums of Vietnam. And there are lots of them. For starters, try this one.

And it was firedoglake that sent me to photo activists for peace site. Isn't that a great idea! Here's one highlighted by firedoglake suggesting that Iranian women have it a whole bunch better than the recently 'liberated' Iraqi women.

Good stuff.

Diane's new loaf of bread just let us know that it was done. You know what that means: right-out-of-the-oven fresh bread! Better get in line. More later.

P.S. Anybody else out there besides me want the Giants to beat up on the Patriots tonight? And yes I want the Colts to win not only because I want them to win every week but also because with a Tennessee loss, Cleveland makes the post season. Wow!
