The Neatest Thing I Saw Today

I spent most of my day volunteering for a local historical preservation society. Since an interest of mine is roses, I do work tending roses in the two cemeteries. Today I was out counting and watering roses at the cemetery when I spotted a tombstone. It was a Japanese family name, anglicized and written in English characters. Japanese characters were on the side. The couple's names were written, the dates of their birth and death and underneath, the dates of their citizenship.

God, for the first time since Bush took office, I was proud to be an American.
