Hannah is an axe murderer.

There's a park near my house with a statue paying homage to Hannah Duston.



Here's a colorful version of Hannah's story.  In short, she was captured by Native Americans in 1697 and tomahawked her way out of that shit.  She is the first woman in the U.S. honored with a statue.  (... go ladies?) In 1897 the statue pictured above was erected in Haverhill, Hannah's home town.










I bought a point and shoot camera recently.  My new pocket-pal.  Now I can easily walk around Haverhill documenting the things I see.  You know, like my feet and Uncle Eddie's Needful Things.



















I went on a castle visit.  No wizards present.




Looked at some of the pretty houses in my neighborhood.  (Seriously, these are within blocks of my apartment. Haverhill is a nice place. Don't believe that shit you hear.)






And here's some pretty flowers from the trees at the park, just to round out this tour.




So what did we learn today, kids?

That's right.  Haverhill is fancy.
