Many of us in the US think of Ukranians often, and how you all are coping through so much devastation and hardship.

Your post touched me, so let me share with you the bright winter sun outside my window. Here in Annapolis, MD, it's almost 11:00 and about -7 Celsius.

The fam spent Independence Day in Boston touring important historical places. My favorite by far: the USS Constitution. The USN runs the ship and they allowed me to go into the bilge to touch the original 227 year old keel!!!!!

Happy Independence Day from the Old State House in Boston, MA. The Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the balcony (for the 249th time) moments after I took this photo.

True patriotism calls us to demand more from our country, greater liberty, and a better future together, always.

A few pictures can't explain how it felt to stand there in that ~200 year old structure. I couldn't get over how small it was, even after the expansions. It was a nothing room that generations of people lived in.

This is what plantations really look like.

It's a Memorial, not a wedding venue.

The glass window is modern. The original 1' x 3' window (no glass) is above the visible window. You can see the original framing, hidden but still there if you know how to find it. 19/

Now boarded up, this was an original front door. It also shows the height of the original ceiling. /18

I'm standing in the garage part. The former front wall of the quarter is visible. Those stairs lead to a half story sleeping area. /17

To the left of the tree is the extension added when the quarter was transformed into a garage. 16/

Have you used Google maps to find CECOT in El Salvador? If not, take a look and draw your own conclusions. Pay special attention to a river of red near a central building.

Search for: G5MW+J8 CECOT PRISON, Angulo, El Salvador

Switch to satellite view.

Explain the function of this building to me.
