It's lovely to see blue flowers in my garden at this time of year, as well as in my neighbors' gardens. Are those the only blues of interest at the moment? Not at all! With three games already clinched, the Los Angeles Dodgers could win the World Series in Game 4, set to start as I file this post for publication tomorrow morning - or that could take another game or two. And next Tuesday is Election Day in the US - a blue wave would be wonderful to see but I'll settle for a win when all the votes are counted. I'm registered as an independent but I'm acting blue all the way down the ballot this year.
