It was a gorgeous day!

Alan and I went to the Washington Capitals hockey game that night. What a game! The Caps won the game 6-3, and that included a Hat Trick (3 goals scored by one person). Check out my Facebook page to see a short video from the game.
On the drive home we were entertained by a car full of drunk guys honking and swearing at everyone they could see. It was actually just one of the guys doing the swearing. Obnoxious? Yes. But since we were sitting in traffic at least it gave us something to watch. At one point the guys pulled up next to a truck (whose occupants might have also had a little too much to drink) and persuaded one of the occupants of the truck to drink his entire can of beer without taking a breath. He did so, and then he proceeded to throw his can of beer through the driver's side window of the other vehicle. Oh my, what alcohol can do to people.

You take GREAT pictures, Daniel! I love all your adventures. What a beautiful tribute to fallen soldiers. Thanks for sharing!
Daniel, that first photo is an award-winner: Autumn in Arlington Cemetery!
Plus, that inscription about the value of liberty . . . Wow. That could have been written by Captain Moroni, or General Mormon.

Your picture-taking is getting quite good. Maybe you need to graduate to Elizabeth's camera.

Elder Uchtdorf speaking on Veteran's Day reminded everyone that Moroni and Mormon were soldiers. We rarely think of them as that, but they were. Mormon was killed on the battlefield.
Man - that was a great day. A FULL, GREAT day.
