Washington DC The audacity of hYpe

Image
The future is already here. It's just not quite evenly distributed yet. It's nice to visit our nations capital. Makes me think of Robin Hood soaking the rich with taxes and Joe the Plumber taking a pay cut. My role models are  Nixon, who opened up China, and Reagan, who said government doesn't solve problems, it subsidizes them. Nevertheless, my all-time favorite Chief Executive who I consider the Michael Richards (Kramer) of the 1800's, is Abraham Lincoln, who. said "Whatever you are, be a good one" and. "It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues." Honorable mention goes to JFK, all the way, who biographers say was more famous for what he said (his speeches like Ich bin Ein Berliner and Ask not what your country can do for you...) but I think over time he has become famous for who he did, the Tiger Woods of the oval office.

Charlston, South Carolina Palmetto Trees, Insulin Shock and Awe

The South Rises Again Charlston  is  beautiful and gorgeous. Took a horse drawn carriage tour of the French Quarter; then made my way up to the Citadel to see the Lords of Discipline. They were out at the parade ground marching and drilling. The PT was amazing, fireman carrys across the football field. Monster tire tosses as relay races. It is one of the most idisycratic institutions of the South.  Everything is still in its place, the gigantic Confederate flag, and Old Glory and the flag of South Carolina's seccession from The Union. The irony of this all? The Driver of my horse-drawn carriage tour, let's call him Will McLean, was a 2006 grad of The Citadel. He showed me his ring. Shouldn't he be off with USMC Uncle Sam's misguided children. His self imposed expatriation had a remorseless medeival splendor about it, giving his devotion to duty as a tour guide and his unapologetic capitulation from the military. Went to The Art Institute, some galleries, bought some ...

I have a hundred goal$ before this life is over; visiting Honduras isn't one of them. Visiting all ten provinces of Canada is. Headed for  Quebec and the Maritime provinces in a few days.
