(I always wanted to say that.)

As any tourist knows, statues are a common sight in WashingtonDC. They’re everywhere you look.

It was the smoothly carved notch in the wood that caught my
attention.

Like many people, I grew up playing with Lincoln
logs, so I’m familiar with the technique of notching logs to strengthen the
corners of a log cabin and minimize the need for protective “chinking” between
the logs.  But this was a feed bin,
located inside a barn.  Besides, the
notch was horizontal, not vertical.  So I
asked our interpretive guide, “Why did the farmer carve that notch here?”

Sometimes it’s the things we avoid that have the most to teach us.
