I want to say a hearty Hyuck Hyuck OMG about that. But then, I don't know the man, am glad for it, and will keep it that way. Though I can't speak for the voters in the 9th district, I can send thoughts and prayers and maybe we'll get one more house seat out of the shameful election fraud in the midterms.
May I present: The person Mark Harris has endorsed for NC 9th as we go into a new election
This is Stony Rushing who has been endorsed by Mark Harris for the N C 9th District Congressional seat.http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/02/mark-harris-wont-run-in-nc-09-backs-stony-rushing.html

The Walhalla is a hall of fame that honors laudable and distinguished people in German history – "politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the German tongue". The hall is a neo-classical building above the Danube River, east of Regensburg in Bavaria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walhalla_memorial
We had to climb up on (comfortable) steps to get to the huge building. It was a warm Spring day, and many people, mostly young, were sunning themselves, picnicking and overlooking the Danube.
One arrives at the back end, somewhere in the middle is the entrance, and at the front there are interminable steps without any guard rails leading down to the river.
Look at them all, maybe just because the last picture shows my backside. I did not take it, just posed for it.
Arriving at the top, the rear of the building after coming up steps in a forested area
Lots of happy gatherings in between the huge columns and landings. Note the dangling feet to show you the heights
We got there at closing time, so against great opposition I sneaked in and took these 2 quick shots
Around now to the front and the steps
And finally me and my backside, as promised

Edited to add a link to a post I made about horses in Vienna, it's in the photo forum and somehow not viewed that much. Thanks for voting for my horse photo also

There are so many beautiful horse carriages in the heart of Vienna that it was impossible not to come home with lots of photos.
First off are the guys you voted for one more time, and then many others...
and finally at the stable of the famous Lipizzan Stallions
More of the Horses. Scroll through and enjoy.

While my camera is still out from yesterday
and while I'm watching and waiting for Roger Stone to get his toothbrush, and Atty. General Barr to get the Mueller report, and waiting for Dyedinthewoolliberal to post the finals for February I wandered aimlessly and took a couple of pictures in the house....

Tiny buds of promise and fall decay hanging on
Nothing special, just saw it as I schlepped in groceries as it rained
