It's a holiday here in the States, and I don't feel like doing a post. You can't make me!
I stole this picture (and description) from Al's blog.
"Unique among Battery Park's many monuments and statues, the American Merchant Mariners' Memorial recalls the more than six thousand sailors who, pressed into auxiliary naval service to transport troops and materiel, sacrificed their lives during World War II. Based on a photograph taken from the deck of the German ship that dispatched one of these vessels to the bottom, Marisol Escobar's easily overlooked sculpture in Battery Park captures the essential horror and despair, as well as the heroism, of war."

I'll be back tomorrow with an update on what's happening at humor-blogs.com.Labels: Serious Stuff, Shout-Outs
