Capitol steps

First of all, happy birthday to my dad.

The Capitol Dome Project is still in its infancy, but with three capitols down, I think we're seriously on the road to doing this, however long it might take. Nevertheless, I've added a link to the top right of the blog, just below another project that will eventually get done, My Year of Bonds, which is pretty much named ironically at this point.

For no real reason, here's a compilation of my relationship to the 50 capitals: those visited for the project, those I've been to (including drive-throughs or very minimal stays), those I haven't been to but whose states I've visited, and those whose states have eluded me thus far. To some respect this might give you a slight idea of how long it might take me to get to some of these capitals barring an extremely concerted effort (it'll probably take that for a few of them anyway, of course).
