You all can follow Michael's heroic adventures in the land of corn and
plenty by browsing over to the Capitol Building Web Cam (images updated
every 10 minutes, day and night) which shows all the excitement, bravery and
compelling heart-felt antics of the Gommage Gang as they lean over backwards
to maintain that giant ear of corn rising from the heartland of our great
country. (of course, it is more like another part of the human anatomy than
the ear (only a true son of the sod could deride it so))

Michael, wave back if you can, but remember: "one hand for the ship and one
hand for yourself." And, thanks for helping to maintain one of my favorite
buildings. (If you get a minute see if you can locate that alabaster
balustrade above the rotunda)
