Sofija and I needed to stay overnight at a hotel near Orlando airport. I purposely booked a hotel about 15 miles away from the airport so we don't get disturbed by planes. The only problem - our hotel was in the direct path for ascending planes out of the airport.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

It makes me wonder if there is going to be legislation to force the selling price to be multiples of nickels.

One of the first opponents I beat with my new skill set was from #Russia. How fitting!

Obligatory voted selfie.
Even though I first came to the US in 1994 and started living here full-time in 1997, I could not vote in any of the elections until 2016. That's how long it took for all the official paperwork to go through without any illegal or shady shortcuts to become a citizen.

As a native of #Latvija, I find it nice to see Made in #Latvia when I shop at my local grocery store in #HoneoyeFalls, NY.
Yet, I thought the labeling was wrong. Fireplace logs were not made in Latvia, but they grew, then were cut, split, and packaged.
