electric_blue68's JournalI looove to watch fireworks. I'd be happy if event planners ditched the noisy, or only sound making
making ones to lessen people's fur buds anxieties.
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!)
For moi...
The proverbial
- with white cheddar! Yum.
And lemonade.
A bit of Nutella, as well. 😁👍
And you? 👍
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).
Any serious Midnight Oil fans here?
I was quoting part of "Sometimes", when I remembered I
have this mysterious set of lyrics, and bit of a tune by them in my head ...
...though I can't think of them right now 😂😑🙄
I've looked several times (but not recently) at album tracks on line etc but nothing has rung w bell. Arg!
So in the meantime any favorite shows you've seen?
I believe the first I saw them was when we'd marched into Central Park (NYC) for the No Nukes" March, and they were playing.
WCPT 820AM Chicago is reporting the Jan 6 committee now has proof that a Rep did give a Jan 5 tour..
to people involved in the 1/6 insurrection.
(sorry, it was very quick, and i was partly focused on something else)
Ah here's the Select Committee's release
May 19, 2022 Press Release
WashingtonChairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today announced that the Select Committee has requested that Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia provide information for the committees investigation into the violence of January 6th and its causes.
Favorite TV Commercials '70s onward...
if we remember any from that far back 😄
This is definitely a favorite of mine recently, and will probably stay so. 😄
For Direct TV
2 guys on a park bench. One guy shows his friend a vid on his smartphone of Serena Williams, then The Matrix.
It switches back and forth between the two getting more surreal.
And then what ever lead line goes into the DT pitch.

Oh thought of one from the ? mid '80's.
It's for the then new Beetle Volkswagen with the rounded top. The real or a great look/sound alike of a ?David Attenbero discoursing about how the rounded top matches x Architecture. 😄 There were a few of them!
Rachael Maddow will be doing a 2 hour show TONIGHT at 8P East Coast
