Bring back Election Night Bonfires!
Granted I saw people having bonfires in Madison County on Election Night 2014, but I think that had more to do with the fact it was 60 degrees that evening and good weather to sit by a big old bonfire and drink beer.
These aren't supposed to exist in 2009. At any rate, this had to be a fairly big pool of oil on the river to be visible all the way up on the bridge.

But analysts say it overstates the strength of the U.S. economy, just as earlier figures painted an exaggerated picture of weakness.
A report from the Commerce Department released on Thursday shows the nation's gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 2.6% in July, August and September. That's in contrast to the first six months of the year, when GDP figures showed the economy shrinking.
The apparent improvement, however, is largely the result of fluctuations in things like international trade, which don't reflect the underlying health of the economy. They made GDP look artificially weak in the first half of the year, while pumping up the most recent figure.
"If you take a step back and look at GDP, it's gone effectively nowhere over the last year," says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. "One quarter or two it's down a bit. This quarter it's up a bit. But net-net, we're kind of treading water."
