Romancing the Vote


It's that time again! Every 2 years, Romancelandia bands together to raise money to protect voting rights. The three previous auctions raised over a million dollars, and this year's auction is closing in on raising $125,000 as I write this.

In 2026 Romancing the Vote is supporting Vote Riders and The Southern Coalition for Social Justice, two organizations experienced in fighting to make sure every person's vote counts.

The auction opened on July 1st and closes on the 6th at 7:00 PM CDT.

The eye of the storm passed over us, and we had about a six hour break in the storm. It was wild how there was no movement, no wind, no rain, at all, while knowing we were in the center of a cat 1 typhoon. Here's a video I took when the winds were strongest. A week to the day after Typhoon Jangmi, we had a tsunami after a...

The weather has turned pretty sharply in Okinawa this May. We had cool, breezy days for the first half of the month, but in the last 2 weeks the summer humidity has returned and we've had some dramatic rainstorms that triggered flood warnings on the Hija River. Flowers are blooming everywhere. Here are a few I've snapped photos of on my walks. Some are in gardens and others are just growing in the wild.
