Slouching toward the end of the year

We were sitting in traffic, waiting for the light to change. Even in our small town, traffic can get a bit jammy on the main thoroughfares. I wasn't driving and I had a camera with me. Also, I liked the shadows on this little house.
It was about a week before the election. We were worried. Our fears were not unfounded. Now we're hearing stories about people who voted before they looked up the definition of tariff.
