Old England

This Day in History
2001 - Robert Pickett, 47, fired several shots at the White House near the South Lawn. He was subdued after being shot in the knee. No one else was hurt in the incident.

"The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun."
Francis William Bourdillon

Listening to: Old England by The Waterboys

    That tree is great. Very gnarly. Looks like our Garry Oaks.
