Wearing black on 4th of July. As an NYC'r a lot of people wear black regularly so...

as I do (but usually not above the low '80°F's black absorbs heat).

So I'll wear a black armband instead.

I might wear it on the weekend, too since this year is
a Fourth of July weekend

I forgot how to embed a video it's been a long time

So... What are tonight's Snacks of Choice?! (gotta have some fun w something soooo serious!)

Apropros of today's history (6/8/68) who has visited RFK's , and JFK's gravesites in DC?

(this sort of came up bc I realized earlier today I may have left a whole bunch of photos when I moved 😔 )

When I was 11 in '64 we visited our Aunt & Uncle, cousins in or just outside of DC.
We did visit JFK's original white picket fence w the eternal flame. Have, ?had a photo.

Waaay later early-mid '90's (while I'd been to DC in between) I visited Arlington again to pay respects to both.
Beautiful, poignant. You can see see Bobby's white cross from JFK's site that has the eternal flame.

Both have quotes.

The plain cross against beautiful bright green grass. Opposite it open space, a low wall with a small long pool. I think a favorite quote of RFK's, and a quote by him.

I might have lost those photos, too.
(I'll find out in a few months).
