Today's awful crash in DC reminds me of the 1982 plane crash into the Potomac. My dad was a photographer for Washington Post & spent many hours on 14th St bridge taking photos. I remember him describing this heartbreaking boot; I can't recall if he took it. Thinking of the families and rescuers 💔

Arrived from the Other Place. It's quite refreshing resetting to 0! Feel free to join me. I think about the grey areas rather than the blacks and whites. When in doubt: books.
