Statuary Around Town


I woke up violently beset with cold/flu symptoms on Tuesday (fortunately, I’d voted early). I hardly got out of bed for two days and while I was able to work some from home because there were deadlines that needed to be coordinated, I ‘m days from being better. Instead of being out this week bearing witness, I’ve contributed extra to support recount efforts and am glad for the steadiness of committed monthly giving. I am concentrating this long weekend on recovering because this is for the long haul. And look at this beautiful tree, which clearly has enjoyed the overly wet autumn.

A bumper sticker that said: “To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.”
A helicopter landing on the west lawn of the Capitol, which is a fairly rare sighting. My first two thoughts: (1) who was getting the ride (i.e. was it the President or Vice President)? and (2) I’ve never ridden in a helicopter; I should do that sometime.
