Rain, Gallery2, and Suffrage

We've had over 6" of rain so far in this "rain event" - and are loving every minute of it. We've just had gentle constant rain. No wind or tornado warnings. It does look like Gustav is going to more than just a rain event, though. We did have a 20-minute power outage this evening, but nothing too bad.

We are finally in our new Studio2/Gallery2 space. The movers got the big stuff moved yesterday, and we spent today getting some of the stuff put up - books, etc. We emptied a lot of milk cartons and USPS boxes. (Did you know that you can "borrow" those plastic-coated corrugated boxes from the post office? You don't have to ask, just pick them up from under the drop boxes, and return them when you're through. Great for moving - sturdy, but not so big that you can't pick them up when they're full.) The electrician was there putting some more light fixtures up. The phone won't be moved until next week, and the bathroom is still a couple of days away from being operational, but we have definitely moved!

And Hillary capped off the evening with a barn-burner of a speech. She did the job she had to do, urging her supporters to vote for the Obama/Biden ticket, and she did it superbly. This was also the anniversary of the passage of the Amendment giving women the vote. You may not know that Tennessee's vote was the one that ratified the Amendment. Today's photos are pictures from that time.
