Winter Sunshine
Clear Roads and Blue Skies.
Took this shot along Stoney Creek Rd. a few miles from Home. Freezing temps, but the sun was warm and the sky beautiful.
Still, I am REALLY looking forward to Spring!

Obama rolls to heady victory
Hawaii Democrats give him 76% of the vote to Clinton's 24%; A record turnout at the caucuses causes big problems
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama won a landslide victory in the state of his birth last night as an unprecedented turnout at the Hawaii Democratic caucus overwhelmed precinct volunteers and party officials.
With 100 percent of precincts counted, Obama had 28,347 votes, or 75.7 percent, to 8,835, or 23.6 percent, for U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
Excitement about Obama, who graduated from Punahou School and represents Illinois, raised interest in last night's caucuses to record levels. Party officials had expected a larger-than-normal turnout and printed 17,000 ballots. It proved well short of the more than 37,000 votes cast and many precincts resorted to handing out scraps of paper to voters to write in their choice.
In comparison, the last caucus in 2004 had a total of nearly 4,000, which had been considered a strong turnout.

The Wave Continues
Obama Extends Streak With Ninth Victory Over Clinton
Senator Barack Obama won the Wisconsin primary on Tuesday by a comfortable margin, extending his victory streak to nine contests and forcing Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton into a must-win scenario on March 4 as the nominating fight heads to the crucial states of Ohio and Texas.
The victory reinforces Mr. Obama’s position as the front-runner in the Democratic race, even as the Clinton campaign hopes the New York senator can stage a comeback next month when a large haul of delegates are up for grabs in Ohio and Texas.
Mr. Obama’s victory was helped in part by support from groups that have traditionally tilted toward Mrs. Clinton, including female and middle-aged voters. Mr. Obama received more than half of the votes cast by white residents and he split the female vote with Mrs. Clinton, according to exit polls conducted by Edison/Mitofsky for the National Election Pool.
