A picture a day is a worthy, wonderful, awesome blog project.

But that's not what I'm going to do. :)

I already have a ton of pictures. I don't think I need to take more just to have them on a blog. So, I'm going to take a different approach. I'm going to post pictures I've already taken and tell the story behind them.

I love pictures. I love people. And I love writing. Hopefully, this will work out well for all of us.

My goal is to publish one post a day. Some of the posts will be long. (I am prone to verbosity, after-all.) Some of them will be short. My wish is that each picture-story will help me share the ongoing story that is my life.

That and you'll think I'm cool. :)

Day 125 - The Kennedy Eternal Flame

So, I'm almost positive that I took a picture of this when I was 12 - but I can't find it.  Oh, well.  I'm going to post the new one anyway because I think it's cool.

This is the flame marking JFK's grave at Arlington. 

When I was 12 and there for the first time and it was raining, I was puzzled:  how does it keep burning when it's RAINING???? 

I guess I still kinda wonder that.....

    Google says:

    "Eternal Flame produces a continuous spark which re-ignites the flame whenever it is momentarily extinguished by any means." And also, it has a dedicated natural gas line provided by Washington Gas Company.

    That creates less of a mystique doesn't it? Sorry

    I wonder though, how much natural gas is burnt each year to keep it on? It would be like keeping your gas grill on 24/7 or something right?
