Blog 4: Sweetwater Creek Hard Times




VOTE FOR KEN

Vote for Ken Humphrey for commissioner in Beaufort! 
Early voting goes on right up to and through 7PM November 5, 2019. I will be at the Main Beaufort Board of Elections (outside in the parking lot…in the ‘legal electioneering space’)…All-day Monday and all day Tuesday, 4th and 5th. If you can support me, use your social media outlets to encourage ‘like-minded’ friends to go and VOTE FOR KEN! I purposefully have not accepted even one dollar from donors who were so kind to offer. To them, I say thanks again!




NOT TO WORRY!
It only ‘looks like’ Beaufort is sinking. You are not actually ‘seeing’ what you ‘think you are seeing’. Relax. Who you gonna’ believe? ME..or your lyin’ eyes? I know. You have been seeing more and more people walking around in Beaufort wearing those ‘trendy’ light, thin inflatable life jackets…some with snorkel and mask. Personally, I think it is a gross over-reaction. (photos by Ken Humphrey. Vote for Ken for Beaufort Commissioner!) 
On A More Serious Note: Re tides – ‘A king tide is a non-scientific term used to describe the predicted highest high-tide and lowest low-tide events of the year. King tides occur during a perigean (when Moon is closest to Earth) spring tide (full and new moon); in other words, a full or new moon must co-occur when the Moon is closest to Earth in its elliptical orbit.’




WOMEN ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE PROMINENT IN POLITICS:
Let’s honor the early women suffragettes as they have reached 100 years since becoming prominent in the US.
Before the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, individual states had passed legislation that allowed women to vote in different types of elections; some only allowed women to vote in school or municipal elections, some required that women owned property, and some territories extended full suffrage to women, only to take it away once they became states. Although legally entitled to vote, black women were effectively denied voting rights in numerous Southern states until 1965.
