Press Conference with Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid

Reagan Remembered and Trees fall

Today was an amazing day! The capitol hosted the unavailing of the official California statue of the late President Ronald Reagan. The star studded crowd allowed me to personally meet and shake the hand of Michael Steele, Henry Kissinger, Orin Hatch, and Brett Guthrie. Also talked to Elaine Chow. The service was lead by the Majority Leader Harry Reid, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and the Republican House leader John Boehner. Former First Lady Nancy Reagan also spoke right before the statue was uncovered. It was a very wonderful experience to be a part of.

On another note, the Gnome of the day is brought to you by thunderstorms... this one closed Massachutets Avenue both ways for over an hour.



Sucks for them, at least the Gnome is dry

Charles is the best to spot important people

Congressman Guthrie was following after Kissinger so that he could get this picture, he has read his book.
