As of yesterday morning, the City of Richardson had seven City Council members up for re-election, none with any opposition. Snooze. By nightfall, we had the mayor's seat open up and up to three individual seats that all just might see new occupants when the electoral game of musical chairs is over and done with.

Local elections in Texas will be held May 6. For me, that means City Council for the City of Richardson and Board of Trustees for the Richardson ISD. Like it or not, another election cycle is underway. Candidate information packets have been available for a week now. Applications for a place on the ballot can be filed as soon as January 18. So, who is likely to run?

Today's photo-of-the-day is from Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany. It's a view of another castle. It's for those who felt shortchanged by my last POTD showing nothing but a vineyard. Some people say that sailing the Rhine River is an ABC tour, where ABC stands for "Another Bloody Castle." Sometimes it seems that way, except when the castles are broken up by a medieval cathedral and the ABC becomes "Another Bloody Cathedral." But this is the last castle pic I'll show (I think). If you haven't had enough, click on the link under the photo to see them all.

Today's photo-of-the-day is from a vineyard in Germany along the Rhine River. According to Pennsylvania Agricultural History Project, "Contour plowing follows the contours of hills and slopes, rather than orienting crop rows up and down a slope. It is a technique that was popularized during the New Deal and afterwards in response to soil erosion. Contour plowing furrows run crosswise to the slope, slowing runoff and allowing the soil to absorb rainfall rather than wash away."
