Thomas Jefferson Feels Like Going for a Swim

Over Christmas vacation, I went to Washington D.C. with my family. The one major site we did not go to was the Jefferson Memorial.

This was apparently a big mistake since the Jefferson Memorial is currently sinking.

From today's Washington Post comes a story about the Memorial's deteriorating, sinking infrastructure. The article is incredibly technical and I don't understand half of it. Apparently, for now, the main structure of the Memorial is not at risk.

But with global warming, who knows how long it will be until the Memorial is completely submerged under water?

I say see it while you can.
