Independence Day
Jul. 4th, 2008 09:54 pmWe got up earlyish, for breakfast, and then packed up for Philadelphia. Philadelphia is on a grid, which implied I like it. Or at least that I'm able to navigate.
So, today we went to the Constitution museum and learned about "We the people." My favorite part were the opinion polls, which were privately run:
1. Should people be required to vote?
2. Should the electoral college be tossed?
Give me your opinions, people! I'll post my answers on another day.
Then we came to the hotel and attempted to do laundry. I say attempt because while the washing machine worked fine, the dryer didn't heat and ws therefore somewhat useless in terms of drying things.
Dinner was fake pork and fake shrimp and fake duck at a quite good restaurant. If that is what pork and shrimp actually taste like . . . I'm not only prohibited, I don't actually like them very much. Duck is, of course, Kosher enough that I've had it, and the simulated flavor wasn't bad at all.
Lessee. A Thing: Yesterday and Today were Rosh Khodesh Tammuz (roe-sh khoe-desh Tahm-ooze), which is the part where you celebrate the new month. It's now Tammuz, which is about as remarkable as the month changing to July.
And, hmm. Anyone who feels like it may comment with the name of an Endless, and I will do a portrait of that Endless. I will only do one of each, though, so the max is seven.
