* Tyler Foote is a road in Nevada County, California built in 1913 by Arthur DeWint Foote, artist and writer Mary Hallock Foote's
husband. The road connects North Columbia, California to a town called
Cherokee that used to be called Tyler.

What is it going to take for gun laws to change in this country?

Tyler Foote* was curious about the activity at Smith Vineyard this morning.  

"Looks like harvest," I said.

I think he wants to be a vineyard dog.

Last year, the ten-year anniversary packaging of 9/11 made me queasy.  I couldn’t watch.

This year, Alex Balk’s post on The Awl made me queasy in a new way…

Ugh, every year the same question: “What am I going to get the kids for 9/11?” I mean, how many stuffed animal search and rescue German shepherds can you really give and still expect to be the cool cousin?

Is posting another photo of a search and rescue dog gross?   Do we even “see” these photos anymore?

These FEMA search and rescue photographs on Flickr were new to me.  So I’m sharing.

I spent several hours online at the Ground Zero Museum Workshop looking at the photographs by Gary Marlon Susman, an actor and playwright who became the official FDNY Ground Zero photographer (not without controversy).  I felt queasy again. Sick, actually, like I did on that morning.  

But I think that sick feeling is important as we move into the second decade of “never forgetting.”  So I hope you don’t mind me posting another photograph of a search and rescue dog.  I wish there were more.  But that was before everyone had a smart phone.  Remember?

On June 18,1964 a Grand Jury called on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Council to leave St. Augustine, Florida for one month to diffuse an escalating situation, claiming that they had disrupted ‘‘racial harmony’’ in the city by protesting the city's segregation policy with pickets and sit-ins.

King replied that the Grand Jury’s request was ‘‘an immoral one,’’ as it asked ‘‘the Negro community to give all, and the white community to give nothing.’’ ‘‘St. Augustine,’’ he insisted, had ‘‘never had peaceful race relations.’’

He was escorted out of town in a Highway Patrol car, with a police dog in the back seat.

Note the dog's expression and poise in the two photographs above.   And consider it's the type of dog used a year earlier to attack Civil Rights protesters in Birmingham, Alabama…

On the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, let's celebrate what citizens can do and reflect on what unchecked governments are capable of.
