Water's A Rising
All of that snow melting in Minnesota is headed our way - waters going up every day. I believe the folks on the 2nd story will be ok - but, looks water will be going into bays below...

Forever the Optimists
Forever the optimists these ducks are fishing in a puddle - now granted in the coming days it will be considerably larger than a puddle as the spring flooding starts, but at this point they're probably walking...

The outfit seems to have lasted for 58 years... perhaps Samuel's son will also be able to be photographed in the same outfit -

Hart Office Building
Mountains and Clouds |
The centerpiece of the atrium is Alexander Calder’s mobile Mountains and Clouds. The piece combines black aluminum clouds suspended above black steel mountains, with the tallest peak being 51 feet high. It was one of Calder’s last works. The sculptor came to Washington on November 10, 1976 to make the final adjustments to his model, and died later that evening after returning to New York.

Veteran War Memorials
World War 2 Memorial |
Why do we have to have an isle? Instead of Republicans or Democrats can't we have just Americans in each chamber? As I visited each one of the memorials I realized that there probably weren't any Democrats or Republicans in the foxholes in WW2, Korea or Vietnam - just scared American kids. Just like we have scared American kids in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the globe. It's going to take Americans to fix our economy and frankly I don't care what party affiliations Congress might have - get in a room and get to work and get rid of the isle...

Visit With Congressman Bruce Braley (IA 5th Distrct)
This is photo of the people from Iowa who visited with Congressman Braley this afternoon on behalf of credit unions. Now - since I'm in the photo I did not take the photo - however, one of Congressman Braley's staffers took this photo with my camera. I did detect a bit of lens envy...

Senate Reception Room
I am in Washington DC with the Credit Unions Government Affairs Conference. Yesterday was our (Iowa) day to visit our 2 U. S. Senators. Senator Grassley was on the floor of the Senate so he asked if we could come over to the Capital (from the Dirksen Office Building) to meet with him. Once there we waited in the Senate Reception Room located in the north wing of the United States Capitol adjacent to the Senate Chamber. The Senate Reception Room was designed in 1853 to function as a meeting place where constituents could meet informally with their senators, the room continues to serve primarily as a public gathering space. I'm sorry we didn't get to spend more time there - I wanted to take at least another 100 photos.
