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.....

ReplyDelete"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?
