I've never been to a presidential library and museum before. I was expecting no criticism, but I did not expect this kind of adulation.

The Oregon Jewish Museum & Center for Holocaust Education in Portland has great exhibits on the history of Jews in Oregon and on the Holocaust. But they also have large exhibits on social justice and the history of all kinds of discrimination up to the present. Really good stuff.

Normally I don't listen to music while working, especially not with lyrics, but this is doing it today.

Normally I don't work weekends unless there's a deadline really looming. Today I did a bit of work in the garden and enjoyed these autumn lovelies.
I grew the sunflowers from black oil bird seed, the pumpkins are sugar pies, and the zinnias are volunteers from last year's garden.
