Color burst will run through end of month

California's aspen are about to stage their annual autumn show. The high country has already peaked, and now the colors are moving down the hillsides. This week, the Sierra towns of June Lake and Mammoth Lakes will begin to peak. The luminous aspen, which can be red and gold, can be found in the canyons or ringing the mountain lakes and streams. The peak colors start now and will continue till Halloween — or up until the first major snowstorm arrives.

I voted this morning (absentee ballot). It took over an hour. I hate it when the answer 'yes' means 'no' and vice versa.
Very confusing language.

I referred a lot to that information book they send out ahead of time.

When U Black, U Black -


When I was born, I was BLACK ,
When I grew up, I was BLACK ,
When I go in the sun, Istay BLACK,
When I get cold, I amBLACK ,
When I am scared, I am BLACK ,
When I am sick, I am BLACK ,
And when I die, I'll still be BLACK .


NOW, You 'White' folks.....When you're born, you'rePINK,
When you grow-up, you're WHITE ,
When you go in the sun, you getRED,
When you're cold, you turnBLUE,
When you're scared, you'reYELLOW,
When you get sick, you'reGREEN,
When you bruise, you turnPURPLE,
And when you die, you lookGRAY.



So who y'all be callin' COLORED Folks?

It had 50 24-inch disks contained inside a cabinet that was as large as a cupboard and anything but lightweight. This hulk of a storage unit could store a whopping 5 MB of data.
