“Wow. I actually thought the monument was older...Never been.”

I was stationed at Ellsworth. Went there often to get away from things. Beautiful land out there.

I just saw him the end of May signing his book in the gift shop at Mt Rushmore.

George Washington CARVER,,,,
I remember the
First Time I had
a PB and Jelly
Sandwich
I
It Was the most,
.
Horrendous experience of My Life!
After the Swelling
Went down and the
Fever broke I
Could Finally
Breath normally, I
Let out a Scream that
Would Raise the Dead!
.
It’s become a tradition to
have a Reeses PB cup
When I want to
Win the Scariest
Halloween
Costume Contest.
.
.
.
see what I did?

Late last night (Sun.) I watched a 1-hour program on the Science channel that was about the Mt. Rushmore sculptures.

Very interesting, as it discussed the man’s early designs, revisions during the work due to geological faults, invention of methods needed, etc.

His grand daughter continued his work.

Remember that during one government shut down Obama ordered access controlled spoiling vacationers attempts at seeing it.

And they erected Barry-cades at the Mall in DC.
