The moon, Venus and Jupiter came together Monday evening in a rare conjunction that was visible to the naked eye. This picture was taken outside my house. We missed the tightest conjunction which, according to this article, was supposed to look like a frown. (Click to enlarge)

WELCOME
I learned a lot about politics as the result of my run for City
Treasurer. This blog is my way of staying in touch with those who supported me and reaching out to those who did not.
The primary focus of this blog is Norfolk politics. Of course, you can't talk about Norfolk in a vacuum, so sprinkled in are some regional, state, and national politics. And sometimes, no politics at all.
The inspiration for this blog comes from one of Virginia's most respected forefathers:
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
Thomas Jefferson, 1820
I hope you enjoy your visit!

That was very cool. And nicely done with the picture, too. Not easy.
Great picture. I didn’t know it was anything special. My son and I got in the car about 6 last night, and I looked up in the sky and saw the configuration. I said, “Check that out. That looks pretty cool.” He said, “Looks like a frown.”
I was driving home from the Shore last night and saw that. Thought that it looked too fake to be real. Didn’t know what it was til I woke up this morning.
From the southern hemisphere, it was a smile!
