Happy Birthday, Mr Adams, pics and a meme
Born October 30, 1735, happy 273rd birthday to President John Adams ...
John, you don't look a day over 200.
Here's his birthplace:
Here is the street view of the Adams farm (this is where most of the "action" happened in the John Adams miniseries)
"Peacefield" (the Old House) which the Adams acquired not long before John's Presidency:
A daguerreotype taken of the original house about 20 years after John's death.
A more recent photo of the house:
And to be complete, here are the tombs of John, Abigail, John Quincy and his wife Louisa Catherine inside the family crypt in the basement of the United First Parish Unitarian Church, the modern version of the Adams' family church.
Also, tonight on Keith Olbermann's show he was discussing the Obama special in which appeared Brigadier General John Adams. After he observed this was not the 2nd President (looking very fit for his age), Keith then commented, "he doesn't look a thing like Paul Giamatti". lol

Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.
My additions (and mine, too):
Vote NO on 2 (in Florida)!!!
Vote NO on 8 (in California)!!!
