Here we are at the Senate...



Lights in the Senate - notice the 'Cod' above the lights - this is the State fish of Massachusetts; the State bug is a Ladybird - and there lies a story on Law making...

Inside the Senate - they have to meet every 72 hours...

Ditto above...

And now for the Lower House...

Inside the House of Representatives - they also have to meet every 72 hours...
