One more from this afternoon I thought was really cool: the sun shining on the Piscataqua River Bridge (aka High Level Bridge) that carries Interstate 95 from Kittery, ME to Portsmouth, NH with sun-lit rain falling around and over it.

The rain drops from these small showers went from orange to pink as the sun went down over the New Hampshire coastline.

@KJP @_wereback Born and raised in MA and NH. That’s Indian corn (until the birds peck it off the storm door).

@OldSchoolBoston My parents always told me it was Ho Chi Minh’s profile in the blue stripe - something Sr. Corita did subversively on her gas tank art. I certainly see him!

The national anthem tradition started here: 106 years ago, at Game 1 of the 1918 World Series (Red Sox vs. Cubs), the Star-Spangled Banner was played during the 7th-inning stretch while the United States was in World War I.

Last night's full moon rising over the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. I wasn't sure we'd see it, but it finally cleared the clouds around the dome. Single frame.

With some of the 150 residents of the Athabascan village of Tanana on the banks of the Yukon 220 river miles from Fairbanks or 6 hours on a seasonal one lane dirt “Pioneer” road. This is one of hundreds of remote Alaskan villages that face unique challenges in accessing health care and nutritious foods. Milk costs more than soda in the only grocery store and the Yukon’s iconic King Salmon fishery is in calamitous collapse so that the tribe has been unable to fish for five years. Im touring these communities all week to learn how Indian Health Services can better meet their needs.

MG Hilbert presented the Soldiers Medal, the Army’s highest award for heroism outside of combat, to SSG Phillips, CW2 Hardy, and CW4 Quiros of the 11th Airborne Division.

Rental car companies seem so insanely helpless at their one job. You show up at the airport, reservation in hand, and they’re like “wait really? You wanted a car? Sorry, you totally caught me off guard.”

@_Momologues_ @PassagePress I got a whole bunch of those originals for free at the library book sale when I was a kid. I absolutely hate what they have done to the old cover art.

@liberalismONCMD Portsmouth, NH and drive across the Piscataqua to Kittery & York, ME. Check out the Cliff Walk. Or drive up to Portland!

Something you don’t see every day: a Catholic Mass being celebrated in Canterbury Cathedral—once the very heart of the English Reformation—led for the first time by the Pope’s ambassador to the UK, in honour of the martyred St Thomas Becket.
