So nice that Celeste Cooning's hard work has an extended life.

I hope those "hitchin' post" podiums find good homes, either in city departments or with LGBT-friendly organizations. Maybe Dan should buy one for his roadshow—POTUS carries his own, why not Dan?—and to enlarge his collection of historic furniture.
