Uplifting Div (Social Distancing subsection)

Since my gym is closed, went today for a walk (it's 60 degrees here, but supposed to snow tomorrow).
Came across this written in chalk on a sidewalk in my neighborhood.

Here's the part in the photo:

Sometimes the little things
Start closing in on me
When I'm feeling down
I wanna lose that frown
I stick my head out the window
And I look around

Those clouds don't scare me
They can't disguise
This magic that's happening
Right before my eyes

Soon Mr. Moon will be shining bright
So the best day ever can last all night
Yeah, the best day ever's gonna last all night now

Complete lyrics here 

Kind of a nice thought for our current situation.
Stay safe and healthy.

It's Convention Time !! (OOPS, subsection)

Well, it's time for the Grand Ole Party  - the party of Lincoln (this one I think),  to gather together and attempt to revive the corpse of St Ronald and make Murica Grate  - sort of like fingernails on a chalkboard, eh ??

One would think that convention organizers would have a bit of sensitivity and a rudimentary sense of historical perspective than to do this:

They've scrambled to remove the signs,  but in cyberspace nothing ever goes away.  Supposedly these "White" elevators were for delegate use -- Why not label them "Delegate Elevators?" but I digress.

Another twitter troll said that there were Red and Blue elevators also ("Oh say can you see, etc" - get it?) but I have yet to see pictures of their signs.

It really should be GRATE !!!

Geography Div (Aircraft navigation subsection)

Back in the early days of aviation, small towns used to paint the place names on water towers and the tops of buildings to let those intrepid airmen know where they were.
Some places were more creative, like this just north of Mesa, AZ dating from around 1950, a time when Phoenix was just slightly more than a wide spot in the road

Now the metropolis that is "greater Phoenix"(ugh!) has almost spread up to this landmark.
More than one young pilot trainee at Williams AFB will never admit to having used this as a reference!
