I was informed on my last post that it was actually a waxing gibbus last night and not a true full moon, but tonight we definitely got that beautiful, full Hunter's Moon. Shot on my OM System OM-3 with the OM System 600mm lens and post processed in Lightroom.

We’re one week out from Election Day! For anyone doing last minute research, I know it can be hard to find quality resources, especially on state & local races so I wanted to suggest a great place to start.

To see all the races that will be on your ballot in one place, along with information on the candidates, I highly recommend Vote411.org

It is a site run by the League of Women Voters—a group that has long been a reliable source of non-partisan election information. Every election, they send questions to all candidates to compile into guides for voters—and the overwhelming majority of candidates participate!

Their site makes it easy to find out what your candidates stand for. You simply enter your location to see your custom ballot with information on all of the races. You can read through candidate responses, select the candidates that you like, and when you’re done you can send your finished ballot to your phone or email.

If you are in Bloomington you can vote early all this week and on the Monday before Election Day at 501 N. Morton.

They are open from:
8 am-6 pm M-F
9 am-4 pm Sat. Oct 31
9 am-12pm Mon. Nov 2

If you can’t vote early, make sure you are ready to vote on Tuesday November 3rd & know where your polling place is. (You can find this on Vote411 too!)

Happy voting people! Get out there!

I’m not the best when it comes to researching each individual that shows up on the ballots/knowing who will even be an option, so I’d like to hear what everyone thinks about candidates, or how people responded to the vaguely worded questions towards the end.

I’m more left leaning!! But I hate voting straight democrat, because I know that’s not always a good idea since some people may be better than others, and I know some republicans like to run as a dem to try and get voters.

I was hoping to catch the 1 bus on 10th St and then switch to the 4W at the station. Obviously the 1 (red) isn’t going to make it all the way north and back to my stop on schedule (2 minutes). Does anyone know if the 1 gets so behind that it skips entire loops? If so is there anywhere to keep up with when that happens? Should I be using a different app?

Does anybody know or have a link to whatever is going on with Fullerton Pike (again)?

They finally got the road opened up again, only to close it further down the way. Looks like the area just passed the round about by the library down to Rockport is closed.

Hi guys I was wondering what the best pumpkin patch is around here? I’m from northwest Indiana and have always gone to County Line Orchard but I’m not sure if the Bloomington area as anything like that here. Preferably a place that isn’t just a pumpkin patch and sells things like treats and apple cider!

The City of Bloomington will resurface South Liberty Drive from West Third Street to the end of the City-maintained roadway on Thursday, Oct. 29 and Friday, Oct. 30, weather permitting.

The work will take place overnight from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. and will be performed by Milestone Contractors as part of the City’s annual pavement maintenance program.

South Liberty Drive will remain open during construction, but motorists should expect temporary lane restrictions, flagging operations and brief delays. Access to businesses and properties along the roadway will be maintained, although brief interruptions may occur as crews complete paving operations.

Motorists are encouraged to use caution when traveling through the construction zone, follow posted signage, and allow extra travel time.

The City of Bloomington appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as these improvements are completed to help maintain and improve the City’s roadway infrastructure.

For the latest information on road, sidewalk, and parking restrictions, visit bloomington.in.gov/inroads. For questions or additional information, please contact the City of Bloomington Public Works - Street Division at 812-349-3448.

Edit- I've been told this was a waxing gibbus and not a true full moon, I believe the true full will be tonight.

For the past few weeks it’s been sunny and in the 70s almost every day. I can’t recall seeing anything like this in October before

I am uninsured (but working) and have developed a really bad ear infection after swimming ; is there anywhere you would recommend I can go for medical care and treatment?

Hey guys! I figured this might be a good place to ask if there are any good personal injury lawyers in town or up in indy. I got hit by a car while riding my back about a year ago and my medical treatment is finally over, I have permanent damage that I’m hoping to get paid out for, but I don’t know who to go to so that I don’t get ripped off. Everyone knows about the Nunn’s but are they shady or is there someone better?

It's freakin huge and so pretty; west side of town photo. :]

Is there anything going on in Bloomington for ages 18+? Like a party or event? I'm looking for something to do that night besides just handing out candy.

Does anyone know of any local (or local-ish) places to find vintage barbies?

I am particularly interested in early to mid 2000s or late 90s barbie dolls. I obviously check ebay and fb marketplace but I was wondering if there is anything local for vintage barbies? Thanks!

I’m interested in learning to play mahjong. Are there any groups or clubs in Bloomington?

I don’t understand why I have to call a phone number during regular business hours and hope someone picks up just to find out what’s going on in my neighborhood. It wastes my time and that of city staff. They should print out a QR code sticker that links to the relevant proposal/agenda and put that on the signs. So friggin annoying.

Help me out people

Hoping someone is interested in picking up lease for my duplex. Message if you would like more info. If you check zillow it is on there or I'd be happy to message a link since I'm not sure if its allowed to attach here.

Very private duplex lease available now on south side of Bloomington off of Rockport road. Friendly neighborhood and nice private drive for daily walks through nature. Have lived here for 5 years and enjoyed it a lot.

Some people sun their perineum for increased energy and vitality. If I moon my perineum during the full moon, will it have the opposite effect and turn me into a zombie? Also, what’s the best spot in Bloomington for moon gazing?

I didn't realize that this event was so soon and didn't manage to get a ticket in time :( would love to buy one if anyone has leads on an extra.

Bonus points for experience with hounds, but open to any and all recs! Bloomington and surrounding areas.
