Before GPS, this is how you got folks to the party. None of the cited landmarks are there anymore. I can’t even remember a bank at the corner of Commonwealth & Walnut. The house is on its second renovation since and has a pod in the yard now. But in ‘81 it was my friends’ group house.

Happy Loving Day, Alexandria. Alexandria played a small part in one of the most significant civil rights rulings in American history, Loving v. Virginia. Visit the historic marker at the corner of Pitt and King St. in Old Town to remember that love wins 💕
A black and white photo of two smiling individuals, Mildred and Richard Loving, is overlaid with text and a blue emblem. The text reads "June 12 is Loving Day" with additional historical context about the Lovings' legal battle for interracial marriage rights.A historical photograph depicts a family sitting on the steps of a porch. Two adults and three children appear together. The accompanying text describes June 12, 1967, when Mildred and Richard Loving received news that the Supreme Court ruled in their favor, impacting their lives and the country.The image features text discussing the landmark decision in Loving v. Virginia, which struck down Virginia's ban on interracial marriage, citing a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. It highlights that their victory is a reminder that love knows no boundaries, and all love is welcome in Alexandria.A historic marker stands on the sidewalk with tree-lined buildings in the background. The marker honors the Loving's legacy, located at Pitt and King streets in Old Town.

Today is the 35th Dr. Bixby day (date on the photo is wrong) Ginny graduated on May 31, and we married (!!) on June 1. She was Dr. Virginia Bixby for just one fabulous day before I (we?) stole that thunder on a firefly-filled evening in the vineyards of Middleburg and she swept me off to Hawaii.

The real conclusion of the DNC post-mortem on 2024 is likely to be missed by most people. It is that the Dem consultant class is the problem. They are making millions providing terrible advice much of which only helps them get richer without helping the candidate. Time for a big time housecleaning.
