While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Pakistan to Decide Whether to Delay Election

NPR | By Philip Reeves

Published December 31, 2007 at 5:00 AM CST

The chaos following the assassination of Pakistan's opposition leader Benazir Bhutto may well mean that the parliamentary elections she planned to contest will be postponed. Pakistan's government is expected to decide New Year's Day, whether to go ahead with the vote now scheduled for next week.

Bhutto's Pakistan Peoples Party has said it will take part in those elections. And over the weekend, the party made a decision that will keep in power the dynasty that's led it from the beginning.
