and the Coragyps atratus are everywhere. I saw a huge committee of them and a kettle of them atop and around USAA! (the plural for vultures in flight is a “kettle” and at rest is a “committee” and when feeding a “wake”)

Pretty sure this is the 19-spot, Harmonia axyridris of the Family Coccinellidae – known as the Asian Ladybug.
Looks like it got smeared with dust or flew through light spider webbing. Maybe it just escaped a spider. I let it back out into the garden.

I began Election day having a cocktail with former SF Mayor Willie Brown at the St. Regis hotel in downtown SF. We discussed in detail then-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s plans concerning the vacating of Alaska’s Senior Senator’s seat due to the trial of Senator Ted Stevens.
Mayor Brown agreed with me that Palin seemed to be attempting to leverage herself into the Senate with her pull as Governor. (Thanks, Mayor Brown for the kind attention over the years).
Lloyd Dangle hosted an Election Night/20th Anniversary party for his Troubletown comic strip at the Riptide in San Francisco the night Obama beat McCain for the Presidency.
Some students from SFSU were there and produced this video:
Proud of Their Country with Lloyd Dangle
It was an interesting night and I am glad I was with Lloyd Dangle – an outspoken critic of Republicans and Democrats alike for more than twenty years.
