Another Day in Pitman

   I spent Friday in Pitman, New Jersey and visited the post office there.  The building is quite old and it features a plaster bas-relief sculpture.  The clerk told me it was a commissioned work with more details below:

"Often mistaken for WPA art, post office murals were actually executed by artists working for the Section of Fine Arts. Commonly known as "the Section," it was established in 1934 and administered by the Procurement Division of the Treasury Department. Headed by Edward Bruce, a former lawyer, businessman, and artist, the Section's main function was to select art of high quality to decorate public buildings if the funding was available. By providing decoration in public buildings, the art was made accessible to all people." from "Articles from EnRoute : Post Office Murals" by Patricia Raynor


My son's house with new updates: 

Chipmunk getting ready for winter.  His landlord tried to evict him but he was hearing none of that with his stash at the side of the driveway.
