This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

Happy Birthday Marines!
I had the privilege of attending the Marine Corp Ball 6 years ago while visiting my sister & BiL in Thailand. They were TDY with the State Dept at the time.
With all the Marines at the ball we wondered who was defending the Embassy! 😂😂😂

Well done Virginia, well done.
Don't get complacent Dems, 15 seats in the House of Delegates were won because Dems were the only candidate on the ballot
Had there been another choice it might not have turned out how we wanted
Vote Blue No Matter Who!

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.
