Seen on a wall in Portland, Oregon
This is something I saw passing a number of art museums and civic buildings in downtown Portland, Oregon on my trip there last week. When's the last time you heard a politician utter words like this? I'm not familiar with Governor Charles A. Sprague, but I found some sources that the interested may follow up on.
This was a color digiphoto on my Sony CybershotU. I accidently clicked on "B&W" while cropping the original, and liked the black & white effect on the wall, so I'm preserving it here.

Did you happen to snap the quote from Thomas Jefferson that's on the front wall outside of the new U.S. Courthouse building? I'm pretty sure that's the building.
"The boisterous seas of liberty are never without a wave."

I'm not sure where the courthouse building is, so I didn't see the quote. Hey, once you get that Sony digicam, that can be one of the first pics you post on your blog!

Just ordered my Cybershot U this evening! At the *very* least, I'll take a snap of the quote and email it to you for your archive.
