While my son was swimming away in swim lessons today I sat on the bleachers and read a little about James A. Garfield, the 20th American president. I liked this quote I came across...

"The people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them."...

We went to Mt. Rushmore recently...



It's a great place to play the license plate game. Have you ever done that? Where you try to find all 50 license plates, plus any extras like Guam or Canadian provinces, etc... Just a few passes down the parking lot gets you most all you need. It's a cool thing, the national and international connectedness found at Mt. Rushmore.
