Snoopy and Woodstock might be enjoying Summer but I am not a fan. It’s too damn hot and it’s just getting started. Of course, I am salty because my car’s air conditioning doesn’t work so driving around isn’t comfy. However, I do work in an air-conditioned office. Also, I don’t like to sweat all that much, and where I live it’s also humid and sticky. Ick. Can we speed through to fall? If you are a fan of Summer, enjoy.
Juneteenth is an annual observance on June 19 to remember when Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation and freed all remaining slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865. The observance of this holiday is an opportunity for people to celebrate freedom and equal rights for all citizens in the United States. This is an important time for African Americans and is a reminder to all Americans about this dark time in history. This is also a reminder that all people should be free to enjoy the benefits of life, liberty, and happiness. We must be mindful of those who lived under the oppression of slavery in the United States and elsewhere.
Travel opens the heart and mind. We are returning to Canada in September. We first visited in April 2019. I would like to see the UK, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Scandinavian countries. Mexico would be fascinating as well.
Some folks can’t handle some folks asking questions about stuff without being irrationally triggered. Even when it’s in good faith. Maybe the answers are hard to come by.
It’s Monday again good people. May it be colorful and good for you. Have a great day everyone.
Today being Father’s Day we went to the cemetery to visit my dad and grandparents. My dad has been gone for almost 5 years, my grandmother has been gone for almost 10 years. My grandfather has been gone since October 2023. I miss my dad and grandparents very much. They are always in my heart and on my mind.
