Really looking forward to your book. I just found this documentary on Tubi. I'd never heard of it. Watching it now.

#StarTrek No news. Watching Star Trek. Started watching when it was first introduced in the 60s. Been watching ever since. Every show, every season. Every movie. A sister on the bridge. For me, as a young African American teen, it was "fascinating" and inspiring! RIP Nichelle Nichols.

#books #libraries #Maryland #history Reading all things Maryland & DC history these days. Now thru spring. At 70, figure good time to go back over local history - who was who, and what was what - before I forget to care. Back in the day, I remember when Senator Mathias was in office.

Washington DC. US Navy Memorial. This group of vets were from California. I don't often talk to folk, but I asked. Gentleman explained they appreciate going to the memorials. I stood a minute and tried not intrude in the moment. I was looking for peace too. @billjonesjr.bsky.social

Washington DC. In front of the Navy Memorial. I read the sign. It asks us to remember. So I took a picture.

DC. Lafayette Square. Careful cleaning. I watched for a bit. Folk woud stop for lunch. Admire the water fountains. Take a nap. Read a book. Listen to a few permanent protestors. Take photographs. No matter this day, I took a nice minute to watch and appreciate.

#WashingtonDC There is much to enjoy, much to be grateful for, and in spite of the negativity, your tax dollars are at work, your history is alive. Take a moment to appreciate it. I do, each and every time I walk the city and photograph how it moves. Just walkin down the street.
