Born to a family and partially raised at Smoke Bomb Hill, Fort Bragg, NC. Also raised at Smoke Bomb Hill? The Belmont sisters, just sayin':
Still of the sisters, Samantha Belmont (Kelli Maroney) and Regina Belmont (Catherine Mary Stewart) from the 1984 sci-fi horror film "Night of the Comet" standing in an empty street brandishing submachine guns. The younger sister wears a pink and blue cheerleading outfit embroidered with the letters "C.H.S." and the older sister wears jeans and a green double-breasted shirt

A young bespectacled Black man (Leroy "Preach" Jackson, as portrayed by actor Glynn Turman) wearing a black watch cap and brown fleece-collared green jacket looks down at pages from which he is reading a private eulogy for his dead friend (Richard "Cochise" Morris as portrayed Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, not shown) in a scene from the 1975 Michael Schultz film "Cooley High"

It was a pretty f*ckall day yesterday, my friends, oh my pretty things. I paired one of my vegetarian muffulettas with my wife’s homemade creamy potato soup. These also were pretty things—and *tasty* pretty things at that. #FoodPorn #Soup #Muffuletta #vegetarian #DavidBowie #PrettyThings
A small plate with a bowl of creamy soup topped with imitation bacon bits, a sandwich on Italian-style bread, and apple slices on a white tabletop, surrounded by a spoon on a napkin; cup of coffee bearing the logo for Cup-A-Joe coffee house in Raleigh, North Carolina; creamer, and sugar bowl

Me, at my father's grave, Sec. 60, Arlington National Cemetery. I'm a vet from a long line American soldiers dating to prior to the Revolution. Trump stood nearby *on* the grave of another soldier, thumbs up and grinning, in a little campaign stunt. No, he doesn't understand us. Not at all.
Somber-looking man, a veteran in black civilian clothes, kneeling beside the Christmas-wreath-decorated gravestone of his father in Arlington National Cemetery. The gravestone is inscribed with a cross, the name "CARROLL R WILSON," and the rank designation "COL"--short for colonel. Obscured from view due to the placement of the wreath are the words "U.S. ARMY," "KOREA," and "VIETNAM."

If you know me well you know I've been down with him since my eleventh grade English teacher, a short, portly, bearded white Southern Baptist deacon, imbued in me a love for the writings and ideas of James Baldwin. Still brilliant. Still speaking truth to power(s) he didn't live to see.

Happy Veterans Day! Here's a photo of me, winter 2000, arriving first to the motor pool with my battle buddy after a long field exercise--tired, and in need of a hot shower and a hot meal.
