Gentle author….. this post is very good but also sad to read the comments coming to you from USA. We do indeed feel for our (now DNA proven) cousins in the USA as we’ve watched these last four years of showmanship instead of integrity and strong leadership to guide and correct the shortfalls.

Heavens, I so want Joe Biden to become the next President of the United States of America. So much uniting is needed.

Voted from hometown of President Trump, Queens New York.
I along with the majority of my friends and family all voted for our president again.

It is noon in California and, so far, the election day is quiet and orderly, as it has always been in the past. Courts have ruled against Trump’s efforts to muck it up, and a judge just ordered a sweep of post offices for all ballots in 11 districts with the offices to report to him by 4:30. COVID has been challenging for the whole process, but Trump has been the wildcard as his behavior is totally unpredictable. Turnout has been extremely high in early voting. I am anxious to hear about today’s turnout, as it likely leans Republican. Trump’s path to 270, the number of electors to win, are limited but he still could win. Let’s hope not!!!
Thanks, GA, for the Hogarth series, one of my favorites, and for mentioning our election.

Hello, here’s another, although less eloquent, voice from the Hudson River Valley in New York State. In my small town, voting took less than five minutes in 2008 and 2016 when crowds were also expected. This year, the wait has been around one hour during the days of early voting, so many, many more people have turned out. When I voted on Sunday, the people lined up in the rain were chatting and laughing; they did not look at all like the people in the paintings. I’m hoping that all of this is a good sign and that others, like myself, do not want to be both disgraced and endangered by an unfit president. And, I am grateful to know that GA and others in countries all over the world also want a change for the good of us all. Thank you, GA, for running this edition of Spitalfields Life which continues to be my morning reading every day.

Dear Gentle Author,
From the suburbs of our nation’s capital, I thank you for thinking of us today. Our country needs a change. We are exhausted from the chaos of the last 4 years. Thank you for your support!

In today’s US Election it will certainly NOT be so civilized as it is shown in the Paintings! We will see what’ll happen … 🙂

Trump for another 4 Years? Please this NOT!

Love & Peace

Canada wakes today hoping Sanity Rules in the days to come.

Never in my life have I seen cities spending the pre-election days boarding up blocks of storefronts. Those fights seen in “Chairing the Member” have sadly been predicted for weeks.

Thanks for the Chicken Parm recipe–I’ll add it to my Covid “Feed the Pandemic Paunch” recipe files. From my lips to my hips.

As for feeding my Hungry Soul, the election of Joe Biden will do that. From my lips to God’s ears.
