neither go too slowly nor with Mouth open" is just one of the gems from this little guide.

In the continuing theme of finding fun/inexpensive things to do to counteract the job hunt/car maintenance drek, I took myself to another George Washington monument yesterday.
I know very little of the Masons, outside of popular schlocky movies, and a bit about the Shriner's charities, so it was an illuminating (see what I did there?) outing.
I've driven by this large tower quite a few times~it's easy to see from the Capitol Beltway and now I can say that I've been to the tippy top.
The Chapel of the Knights Templar~if you squint, you'll see a sword that was carried in one of the Crusades.
Just a beautiful shell-like stairwell.
The teensy trowel in the middle of this display was used at the placing on the cornerstone for the Capitol and the Supreme Court buildings.
V. proud that I actually stuck my hand over the railing to take this photo~not a fan of heights. I shall leave you with another enlightening tidbit from Washington's Rules:
"Shift not yourself in the Sight of others nor Gnaw your nails" and this gem: "Cleanse not your teeth with the table cloth, napkin, fork, or knife; but if others do it, let it be done without a peep to them."
Should I see someone wiping their teeth with a napkin, you may be assured I shall utter no peep, but simply MOVE AWAY from the table rather rapidly. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteIt's like any warning sign I've seen~you KNOW someone has done it, or there wouldn't be a warning. Like the label on my car's sun shade to "not operate the car while in place."
