I've never missed a chance to vote since I became eligible to do so, and I've always held respect for those who always vote, no matter whom they vote for. I remember waiting for hours at the polls several times, and I would do it again if that's what it took, but now, it's easier to get your ballot in the mail and drop it off in the secure box at the polling place. The only thing we miss that way is being approached by volunteers waving "Cowznofski for Comptroller" literature as we walked in, but we can live with our memories. No matter for whom and how you vote, please make sure you do!
This week's free wallpaper is here to remind us that above the world of commerce and traffic, there is a celestial beauty that should get more attention than all that other stuff.

This year, the great movie "The Shawshank Redemption" celebrates its 30th anniversary. Wonderful film, terrific acting, amazing denim.
Garnet sand is that mineral which, when pulverized and attached to paper, makes fine sandpaper. But if you get a really strong microscope and a human hair, and wrap one grain of garnet in the strand, you get a picture like this!
Tall tall trees in the magnificent Colorado September sunshine.
Lincoln Riley (sounds like a movie star name) is the football coach for the U of Southern California. When he brought his team to the U of Michigan recently, the home scoreboard sought to humble him by exhorting the crowd to holler more loudly, but some unlettered letterman typed the scoreboard message badly.
The adorable rodents known in South America as Capybaras must have hired a press agent, because lately, they are all over the internet. They're gentle and placid and willing to pose with pumpkin hats and I think every house should have one.
This is the work of a Japanese artist who calls himself Lito Leaf. He deals with his ADHD issues by creating meticulously intricate razor cuts on green leaves. It seems so much more real to have such great art made by a person rather than by a person with a Cricut machine.
