Elections were being held today for the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives so banners have been on display everywhere. I saw these last week in the historic area of Herndon.
There are three candidates contesting the Senate seat for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Mark Warner, Democrat, is the current Senator who is seeking re-election against a candidate from the Republican Party and one from the Libertarian party.
In Washington DC a new Mayor was also being elected today and voters were additionally being asked their views on limited legalisation of marijuana.
No voting for us of course and I spent my day at an American Red Cross blood drive being held at a local school.
Dranesville Elementary School is in Herndon. It takes children from age 2 in pre-school to fifth grade (age 10-11). Today was an in-service day for the staff and so the school was fairly quiet.
In front of the entrance to the school a bright yellow line of buses - ready to bring in the children from the surrounding area tomorrow - made a colourful sight.
