Start counting people! How many police cars do you see in a day? EXCESSIVE: Recently overheard a conversation about police presence in other countries only to come back home and realize how excessive it has become. We must question: What has changed to cause this necessity? [photo taken this afternoon]

From Wikipedia: Florence Martus (1868 – 1943), also known as The Waving Girl, took it upon herself to be the unofficial greeter of all ships that entered and left the Port of Savannah. Using handkerchief by day and lanterns by night, not a ship was missed in her 44 years on watch. A statue of Martus has been erected in Morrell Park on the riverfront in Savannah, Georgia.
