I count Saturday's marker as a capstone – a kind of public statement that it [the house] has been recognized by a governmental body for its historical significance.

We didn't pull out a marker and get on the board at halftime. We just kind of appealed to their competitive nature and challenged them in terms of where they want to go and how they want their season to play out.

This is part of laying down a marker.

Today's statement of objections is unjustified.

In my experience, endorsements by public officials, they don't count for anything.

She usually knew what was on the marker.
