Remember My Name

So I've cut trees down before. Have you? Just putting it out there.
Tree cutting, as you can see from below, is taken very seriously in Eddie Bert. That's why they put signs like that in the middle of the sidewalk, so that pedestrians are forced to either lean to their left and walk on the busy bus lane and risk getting run over, or lean to the right, and risk being decapitated under the tree that's being chopped down, the tree two feet away, that they can clearly see, without aid of the sign, that it's being chopped down. In fact, I think a few senses work together in this, and people can smell, hear, and see the tree being cut down all without the prompting of the sign that just goads people into danger. Plus, the tree was no more than twenty years old. Not impressed, Eddie Bert, not impressed at all.
















On the subject of being impressed, this church I passed by was very hard at work making people impressed, as can be seen from the giant plaque advertising the luminaries interred there. I like the use of the term 'celebrity,' especially the celebrity provosts and celebrity music theorist. They really were hott. (Note the extra 't,' granted only to people of celebrity status.)















All this aside though, this city is ridiculously old and chock full of things they ought to be proud of. I think that's why things are so laid back here. They don't need to care because they don't need to prove anything to anybody. They're like the Kimberly Stewarts and Nicole Ritchies of science, arts and politics, just living off the residuals of generations that came before. Pretty proud of myself for pulling that thought together. And now, I leave you with pictures of Old Town. I know, I keep taking pictures of windy roads and they all look the same after awhile, but they're so quaint and beautiful.

































They call this 'Old College' because they're not very good with names. But also because it's been around for over 400 years.
















The Washington Monument, it's everywhere you want to be.
