I managed to screw up the website a few months ago almost irrevocably, but that's been fixed now too.<br /><br />Today's agenda includes scheduling interviews with prospective interns, working on teaching resume stuff to my current intern, and talking with some state Democratic Party folks about a project I'm doing for them as part of my Democratic Town Committee duties (yeah, I got drafted a few months ago when word got out that I was politically active... plus my lawn is in a great location for signs).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13027539-114417120335634744?l=wordsmithsdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Swordsmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13025132718312249916noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13027539.post-1117120070880925242005-05-26T13:01:00.000-05:002005-05-26T10:07:50.893-05:00A few roadside observations from last week's Baseball Hall of Fame signing (more about that to follow):<br /><br />Two geese escorting their goslings across the highway right by the access ramp to I-87. A beautiful sight in the early morning, but perilously close to one of those "natural selection moments."<br /><br />A rural sign: Weed Orchard--pick your own.<br /><br />About half a mile away: Chicks for Sale<br /><br />A random granite marker with a brass plaque alongside the road in a rural area. It turned out to commemorate the spot where a woman fleeing from Indians in 1780 was shot and scalped: no context, no rest of the story, just this one sliver.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13027539-111712007088092524?l=wordsmithsdance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Swordsmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13025132718312249916noreply@blogger.com1
