I was looking at this carpeting of minute blossoms in a lane off Grinnell Street, I think. It was a not afternoon and the breeze had died down in the middle of Old Town so Cheyenne decided she need a sit and I decided it was a good time to stop and think.
It is not surprising really that my nick name for Cheyenne is Pooh Bear. She looks a bit like Winnie-The-Pooh, though she is much smarter than your average bear. But, like Winnie-The-Pooh she has the ability to make me laugh. Even just lying in the shade.
Cheyenne suddenly started up and started snapping at the air around here. I'm not sure she caught the fly but she gave it the old college try and the buzzing noise went away. 
I am not one to criticize government the way some people do but there are days when even my patience is tried to the limit. I read in the paper yesterday that the Republican majority in Tallahassee wants to reduce the number of early voting days people can cast ballots. It seems too many Democrats go to early voting so the solid Republican majority has now decided to eliminate the chance of fraud and cut back early voting from 15 days to seven.
I don't suppose the outcry will be enormous but one has to wonder why they think they can get away with cutting back people's opportunities to vote. Perhaps voting really doesn't matter anymore as the people in charge know what's best for us?

Take a breath, take out the bike and go for a ride. Lots of lovely views across Key West to reduce the blood pressure.
