If the art preserver people here noticed that the Declaration of Independence looks a little destroyed more today... well that is because....I Did it!!!!
I FLASHED the Declaration today. COMPLETELY on Accident
Okay see on the right of this picture the arm of a Security Guard, well I was busy talking to him, asking if he has a specific pose when people take pictures of the Declaration, because I wanted to get that pose. He was real nice.

Well when I turned on my camera I forgot the flash is automatic unless I turn it off, and again I was so excited to get a picture of the posing guard that I forgot to turn it off....and it WENT OFF
See the hands and camera of another lady taking a picture?? Yeah, she gasped...
it's not like I ripped the Declaration or somethingI apologized, and the guard said the rule is I can't take any more pics....but then he did a nice sales pitch for the museum store saying that I could buy a replica at the museum store ( DUh I watched National Treasure!)
ehh o-well I got what I wanted, and that is a distant picture of a piece of paper in a glass casing
