Change is coming

Change of font, at least.

This drawing makes me very happy.

Manassas

Obama's final rally was in Manassas, Virginia.

Nice symbolism.

Today.

I might cry today. Sorry, whoever is around me.

I realized a couple of days ago that this is the first candidate I've supported in the primaries who's gone on to (with luck) win the election. And I supported Obama early, without reservation, not as a lesser of two evils choice, but full throatedly.

So here we are. Very exciting. This morning, on my iPod song shuffle, up comes David Bowie's "Changes" (really):

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But stil the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
Theyre quite aware of what theyre going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Dont tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
(turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-changes
Wheres your shame
Youve left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you cant trace time

Sorry for the extra dose of schmaltz. I'll leave with this:
