A hall in City Hall.

Looks like there was a bomb scare at the courthouse this week, although I didn't hear anything about it in the local media. . 

 

It was raining out, so the court workers, the attorneys and their clients were all huddled under the parking garage across the street. 

 

 

 

Too bad no one ever called in a threat when I was before the court. Good chance to get away!

 

Many voters are not thrilled with the choice of presidential candidates available in November. This Hamp driver is supporting a very experienced alternative candidate.  

 

Jimmy Carter, having been thrown out of office by Ronald Reagan after only one term, is fully eligible to serve again under our Constitution, which allows presidents to serve a total of two terms. Of course, Carter is old, quite feeble and in cognitive decline, but how does that distinguish him from the current occupant of the Oval Office?

Some things about our Valley don't change much.
