Here to spread some cheer.

[Writer]

It's been difficult as of late - some of us, no all of us, have recently lost friends on DU. The back and forth heat regarding Clinton's role in hunting bin Laden and the NIE has been a political downer (or inspirer, depending on how you look at it.) There have been many changes: work related changes, family and friend related stress and changes, and a few out of the ordinary situations that have brought some of us down.

I thought that what I'd do here is use this thread to spread some love and cheer throughout the lounge. Maybe some more of you would like to participate. Post a picture. Offer a hug. Post a link to something humorous. Whatever it is, offer something that could brighten another person's day. Hopefully it can help lift our spirits.

Here's my contribution. Check out Al Franken's performance on Hardball. He totally bit into Tony Blankley!

And if that doesn't do it, here's a hug: :grouphug:

2. Wow, what a nice sign

What is that 2 by 2 pine?

4. Don't remember what the sign is made of

It's a warning sign telling folks not to attempt to hike to Colorado River and back in one day, a warning I happily ignored a couple days before that pic was taken. This was a reenactment.
