Capitol Letters

I was up at the Utah State Capital this morning for a rally in support of the protesting Wisconsin workers.  It was a lot colder and snowier than it was just a year ago when I went up for the Utah Public Employees rally, when the state was talking about eliminating much of our retirement benefits.
So I went inside the building to warm myself up, and find a restroom, and along the way I found a lot of letters.  And, of course, I took pictures of them.  They are pretty much self explanatory, so here they are without captions, (there are 15 of them, so it may load slowly, but not as slowly as that post I had with 20 some-odd of them. And remember, you can always click on them to see them better): And one last one that I’m going to give you a link to, along with a warning that one of the signs a protestor is holding uses David Koch’s name in a fairly offensive (but, in my opinion, amusing) way.  Here’s the link, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Not the letters you want…

to see 5 of your teachers standing under: This picture was taken with my state-of-the-art digital camera back in 1998.  As you can see, the quality of digital cameras has improved tremendously.
The school had sent 5 of us to Denver for a Mid-Level conference, one specifically designed for middle school teachers.  A history teacher, English teacher, science teacher and two math teachers.  The woman in the yellow (2nd from the right) was in her early 60’s and desperately seeking a Symphony bar, so we had been spending some time driving around Denver looking for a place that sold them.  We came across this place, and being a little naive, she believed me when I told her that I was pretty sure they would sell them in there.  Yes, we stopped there and, yes, I let her get halfway out of the car but, no, I did not let her actually go into the store.  I may have a twisted sense of humor, but I’m not cruel.  And she had enough of a sense of humor that she still agreed to be in this picture for our Principal.
