whither goest thou jumbotron?

In DC hoping to take pictures at the National Mall gathering for the Inauguration Monday. Last here in 2009. I thought I’d snap photos of citizens viewing live. However news reports say the Jumbotrons are being taken down.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies is of little help. Will people do like they do everything nowadays, watch on their phones?

White deer black dog

Charlottesville is a small city with big plans. Beautiful places remain, they are deserted in the rain, it is the most contemplative time to walk.
albino deer
Did the city officially extend white privilege to albino deer? There is a program in CHO to eliminate deer generally. The albinos are rare, according to the Internet 1 in 20,000. Being Charlottesville it will probably be hit by a car.

Rain Dog

Weather system Debby provided some precipitation to Central VA. Amounts vary. 3.5″ +/- in the Woolen Mills.

DVM

Line lived on Rosni Farm, she lived near McCoy, she lived in Wake Forest, she lived in the Glendale neighborhood of Jacksonville, she lived in downtown Quincy Florida, she lived in Albemarle County. She swam in the James, the Rapidan, the St. Johns, the New and the Apalachicola rivers. She went to ground in Charlottesville, beneath a Japanese maple from my natal home.
Yesterday Matilda and I visited Line’s Charlottesville veterinarian. The DVM is retiring at month’s end following near 50 years healing animals. A good life and a great gift to this community.
