AUTUMN, GOOD TO THE LAST MOMENT
Peter Bloch
Winter is coming. This year’s glorious summer, perhaps a mite too hot and definitely too dry, is firmly behind us now with temperatures regularly dipping into frost inducing territory overnight and there’s a narrowing of daylight hours when we can bask in the sun. The weather brings to mind Oscar Wilde’s quote  “All at once, summer collapsed into fall.”... and we might add… "in a New Hampshire instant, winter appeared”.
LET'S GET ARTSY
The good news is as we round the corner toward winter and the holidays, there are many “Artsy" opportunities popping up for your enjoyment.

DID YOU KNOW?
NASA Astronauts “vote while they float”.

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins points to the International Space Station's "voting booth" where she cast her vote from space this month. This is actually Rubins' second time to vote from low-Earth orbit, having cast her first vote from space in 2016 when she was an Expedition 48-49 crew member.

Voting in space has been possible since 1997 when a bill passed to legally allow voting from space in Texas. Since then, several NASA astronauts have exercised this civic duty from orbit.

VIDEOS OF THE WEEK
Now for those cute animal videos that scientists advise are so very good for our well being. Who knew Beavers were such greedy critters or the tiny frogs could be so angry?
ps: next week … chances are, Pluto will have a comment to share regarding the election.
UNTIL NEXT WEEK
This “HAPPENINGS” email blast is being written on the eve of an extraordinary election and most likely, we will not have definitive balloting results as you’re reading this. “HOPE” is an appropriate sentiment at this moment in time. Hope and faith that it will bring with it, the beginning of the healing our country so desperately needs as we face the challenges of the 21st century together.
Please take very good care of yourselves, and those in your family and community.
We isolate now
So when we gather again
No one is missing.
Wednesday’s email “SUNAPEE HAPPENINGS”
highlights a selection of events in our community each week.
