Voting and Willard Suitcases
I like voting in my little town. Paper ballots, and it usually goes pretty smoothly. I asked if I could photograph in the booth but they said it was against the rules.
Just a note of welcome to all of you who read about my Willard suitcase project on the Collectors Weekly site. Those who haven’t seen the story can check it out here. Hunter did an amazing job and he asked great questions. I am very pleased. It even made it to Digg for a while yesterday. If you are new here and just want to see suitcase posts, check out October and work your way backwards. But I hope you will be interested in my other posts as well. Thanks, Jon

Love the marvelously battered, old sign board. So very New England!
Hey HoH, I noted your comment on the Northampton fish tank and then this one. Did you live back here for a bit?
Indeed, four lovely years in NoHo! Hank spent most of his time studying the biochemical properties of Harrell’s smoosh-ins specific to crumbled Health Bars and coffee ice cream, but he also really enjoyed shows at the Iron Horse and running around the countryside. A special town and a wonderful community.
Love the article about your suitcase project. I work in psych, so I know just what you mean about reverence and laughter. Thanks for sharing.
