It’s a beautiful autumn here in the Georgia Mountains. The leaves have turned and started to fall, so the forest floor is carpeted with red and gold. There’s a chill in the mornings, with warm afternoons. This view is from the Tennesse border looking southwest towards where we live.

As for the elections, we’ve voted. Monday we’re headed north for a two day camping trip. It’s time to wait, and see if the country is going to do the right thing – start over and try to relocate itself.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
