Mon Sep 17, 2018: Preamble of the Constitution of the United States

Due to the heat, or maybe because I just wasn't thinking right, I messed up the last time I tried posting this:

The Preamble of the Constitution of the United States

For some reason, I conflated these words with those of the Declaration of Independence. Yes, I do know the difference. I issued a correction, but still....

Today, Constitution Day, let's see if I finally got this right.

This is only a few blocks from where I am right now. I ought to go look at it again. It's really a hoot. I imagine kids get a kick out of it.

Preamble

2. Very cool. I was stuck when I counted 51 license plates.
