Slug Fest and more

Sunday marked a first for me. Two religious services in one day, a Baptist and Jewish service. These are from a Baptist church service celebrating their 142nd anniversary.

Sept. 11, 2008

Sept. 11, 2008, marked the dedication and unveiling of the first official 9-11 memorial in the country. The 9-11 memorial at the Pentagon with thousands in attendance. It's a pretty impressive memorial, with a bench for each person killed that day at the site of the Pentagon. Each bench has a name inscribed and is lit from underneath. They lie in order of the age of each victim and either points towards the Pentagon or away, depending on whether they were on the plane of in the Pentagon at the time.

McCain/Palin Rally

John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, held an outdoor rally in Fairfax city yesterday. An estimated 15,000 people attended the rally. It was huge and traffic was a nightmare. Traffic took longer than the actual rally.

Th hurricane that wasn't.....

So, Hurricane Hannah came and went. Nothing really happened, just a lot of rain and some flooding in the area, but not much and receded quickly. All of my events were cancelled, except for one, but was called off shortly after beginning due to leaks in the roof. One of the photos is of someone walking near a lake in the rain storm. I also have a shot from a triathlon that cancelled the swimming portion because of debris in the lake from the hurricane and a shot from a church anniversary event.

That time of the year

It's official. My job has just got busier than I normally am. School officially begun and in return, high school football is also in full swing. These first two of some of our first games this season and the second two are of the first day of school here in northern Virginia.
