Law of Nature

A male child shall have one more side than his father, so that each generation shall rise (as a rule) one step in the scale of development and nobility. Thus the son of a Square is a Pentagon; the son of a Pentagon, a Hexagon; and so on."

Inverted Pentagram

The Inverted Pentagram, from the profane point of view, is a symbol of Pan that represents placing man in a position contrary to the divine order and a false pathway of life. Man's true self succumbs to the five elements (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit).

Capitol Square and Compass Tour

Capitol Square and Compass Tour
It is rumored that shortly after the United States won its independence, George Washington, Major Andrew Ellicott, Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, and Benjamin Bannaker designed a secret magical compass symbol within the street layout centred on Capitol Hill.

Shoes are usually the most-rubbed part of a statue.

Statues without feet, such as the Abraham Lincoln statue seen here, have their noses rubbed for luck.

My home in Kenwood in the fifties.

This house is where I grew up with my sister Sally until we completed school and went off to college. My parents build this house during the war so instead of a wood frame construction, steel was used due to war shortage, and both the first and second floors were concrete with hot water heat. We had some great times there and I so remember climbing this tree but it was not quite this big then. As I remember the police were out in force in the spring as cutting a cherry tree was a crime and a large fine was imposed on those caught.
I know my mother sold the house after my father passed away in the late sixties and moved to my fathers family farm near Middletown Marylnad where I now live with my wife Sandy. My sister, Sally built a house on the farm as well but them moved to New Market Maryland some years ago.
