Today after I left a Wendy's Restaurant on Georgia Ave NW Washington DC,I spotted a photo on a wall.It was a lady saying the word sweet. It was nothing sweet about the weather today in Washington DC. But since photography is a new hobby for me thanks to my Samsung Galaxy S Phone,I said to myself this will make a good Speechless Sunday post. Plus I have never seen a picture that looks like it came out of a comic book on a wall. Only on Georgia Ave NW Washington DC I guess.

Happy Friday again everyone. Wrote a blog earlier please check it out when you can DC Area local events. Not going to say much. But I will say that that the idea of doing a Free DC Area Local Events came from this state of this sluggish economy which has prompted many people to scale back on their spending habits and live the lifestyle that they are not use to living. When you don't have no money,it aint funny-I wasn't trying to rhyme there by the way,I am just being honest.
