Korean War Memorial

Here are two pictures of the etching of the wall at the Korean War Memorial. The wall is to the left in the second picture. The second picture was taken looking into the soldiers marching toward me.

Korean War Memorial, Washington D.C.

This is a picture of one of the statues in the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. The wall in the background has images etched into it, barely visible.

Like the Vietnam War Memorial across the way toward the White House, this memorial was a moving experience. One cannot fathom the many deaths which occurred and lives which have been ruined or damaged as a result of war. And to what purpose? Perhaps when our ends come to us we will gain an explanation. Wouldn't that be something. To finally find out what all this vanity is about?

We are not in a recession

We are not in a recession. No sirree. The tax incentive money is on its way. In Washington state I hear the gas stations are being allowed to price gasoline in half gallon amounts. That sure will help. I also hear pizza parlors are selling pizza sliced in twice the number of pieces as before. You get more under these approachs. That is what the wise ones think. You know what, it is all advertising and deception. We are a nation of flim flam!

The graffiti has a similarity. The same sort of art can be found in a spread of area south of the business district and west of the downtown area.

Graffiti

In parts of Spokane near and about the downtown area one encounters the remnant of "artists" who wish to put their mark on property not theirs. It is quite detracting, a blight.

This picture is of graffiti on the second story wall of a building near the heart of downtown.
