  This is a sign on the door of a used/rare book store on Railroad Street in Great Barrington, Massachusetts (not far from where I walked the Appalachian Trail, as you may remember).

• Catchy Caption of the Day
  
  Tom Ridge, leaves the press conference at which he announced his resignation as Secretary of Homeland Security.

  Ridge was a sergeant in Vietnam (where he was awarded a Bronze Star for valor), was elected six times to the the US House, was elected twice as Governor of Pennsylvania, and was appointed the first Secretary of Homeland Security.

  A good man who has served his country with distinction.
