I added some new pictures to the gallery, specifically to Kylie’s Year 4 gallery and some pictures of a Moonrise that I took from my kitchen window. I also added some pictures I took in Philadelphia when I toured The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania Library and Museum. All of the Masonic pictures were taken with my camera phone, so hopefully I will get back there some day with my good camera and take more and better pictures.

Mlive.com posts article about Thomson Reuters sign
MLive.com has an article today about the sign changing on the 777 building, and can be read here: Thomson Reuters one of Washtenaw County’s largest employers.
Making our presence known
The strong presence of Thomson Reuters is finally made known today as the iconic 777 that used to adorn the side of the building at 777 E. Eisenhower Pkwy is replaced with a Thomson Reuters logo. The building has long been a landmark in the Ann Arbor area as the large 7’s on the top of the building could be very easily seen in the serounding area. I guess people are going to have to start changing there landmark directions to “at the old 777 building…” In any event the third largest employer in the county is making its presence known.
History has been made
The results are in, and they are pretty big results. We all knew by the end of the night we would have a new President, and many of us hoped for a historic event, and we got it. For the first time in the history of our nation we have elected an African America as President of the United States of America. With the election of Barack Obama not only have we made history, but with an over whelming voice the people of this country have spoken, and the message is clear; Yes we can! My good friend Joe Stump says it beautifully in his post:
As I type this an African American is the President elect of the United States. Let that sink in a bit. The people of the United States have made a strong stand against the agents of intolerance. They’ve said with resounding thunder that religious zealots, war mongers and ignorant people have no place in our great nation. If you’re against gay rights, against a black President, in favor of endless war for oil, or against renewable energy we’ve risen up and clearly stated your ignorant and bigoted views of the world are not welcome.
I agree with Joe, and I join him and the rest of the majority of this nation in welcoming this change for good.
