Political Gossip

So I don’t normally post this kind of thing on my blog, but this is too big to ignore: it turns out that the capital of Jordan is SECRETLY AMMAN!

(If you don’t get it, Charlie, Jason, Joe, and Mark will be happy to clue you in.)

Plane trees, Civic Center plaza

Plane trees, Civic Center plaza

Originally uploaded by tellumo.

Every fall, the groundskeepers prune the plane trees on the plaza outside City Hall. It might just be me, but I think the knobby branches the pollarding leaves behind make them look like ghost trees, like something from the graveyard in The Legend of Zelda. (However, no matter how hard I push on them, no ghosts come out to pursue me.) The unseasonably beautiful weather we’ve been getting recently rather spoils the effect, however.
