Signs of Challenging Times.

It's two days after Election Day and we have proof that Eric Trump was wrong when he made the claim that the coronavirus would "magically go away on Election Day." New cases continue to occur at an alarming rate. Meanwhile, we still don't know who won the presidential race because votes in several states are still being counted. 

I'm continuing to take pictures of post offices because I treasure our postal service. Before the election, Republicans predicted fraud in voting and criticized the postal service in advance for not being able to process mail-in ballots properly. Now their leader is making accusations of fraud all over the place. Legitimate news sources debunk these accusations almost as quickly as they are made. 

 

This post office is in Charles Town, West Virginia. It was built in 1922 on the site of the old county jail where John Brown and his co-conspirators were confined after their unsuccessful raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. After a trial, Brown was hung a few blocks away.

 

Signs, Signs

Cardboard campaign signs are still up. These two are different than the usual ones. 

Here's another sign saying you must wear a mask over your nose and mouth in order to enter a store. This is a health food store and customers were all in compliance. Some other stores have not been as successful. I prefer to shop in stores where customers are following these simple health rules. 

The next photo shows a sign telling us there is only one race, the human race. I'm also including a wider view of that building, which appears to be 150 years old or more.

After I went shopping and took pictures today, I noticed that a warning message was displayed on my dash saying that a tire was low on air. The first gas station I found did not have an air pump so I drove on to Berryville. I inflated the tire but  about 20 minutes later, the message came up again. I went to Jiffy Lube and they showed me that a large nail was in the tire. They filled my spare tire with air and installed it for me. I have found their staff to be helpful in the past, and I am very grateful that they helped me out again. 

Tire shops close early around here so we'll have to call one in the morning. At least I got home safely. 

Thankful Thursday.
