LadyGun12 or MJA. Or both. Yeah. I’m breaking the rules and saying both.

I’ve never seen the Vietnam Memorial. It was built after the last time I was in DC. Is that a monument? I never can tell if that sort of thing is a monument or not. If that’s not a monument, I’ll say the Arizona in Hawaii. Unless that’s not a monument either.

Huh. That’s an interesting question. Your questions are getting good, Fur. I think I’d rather know how I’m going to die. If I knew when, I’d be too preoccupied about the date to live today. And that doesn’t sound too fun.

Underdressed. The only way I could overdress for an occasion is if the dress code was “filthy, unwashed, smelly clothes.”

Awesome and sad, both.
