Full disclosure, I've been known to don the checkers and Vans from time to time.
A grown child in checkered shorts, checkered shoes, a black Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution shirt and a Bucee's hat stands in front of a Virginia Beach Dairy Queen Grill&Chill establishment that served as a backdrop for a free Labor Day Aquabats concert.

I met Salty Dog while tabling for WHRO at this year's Pride
Just a man and an (anthropomorphic) dog. The bearded man, on the left, has his mouth agape similar to the golden furred dog mascot to his right. He's wearing a brimmed hat, sunglasses and a WHRO-branded shirt. The dog is holding up a peace sign wearing yellow sunglasses and a Norfolk Admirals jersey, featuring as an emblem a blue circle marked with a yellow anchor and five yellow stars around it.

About 300 people rallied outside of the Williamsburg-James City County Courthouse ahead of Trump's remarks.

They expressed their support for democracy and Ukraine, and their opposition to Donald Trump and his treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
People chanting while holding pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin signs. Lots of blue and yellow colors. A woman holds a homemade Ukraine flag in the foreground. A string of fellow pro-Ukraine ralliers stretch across the street. A group of protesters holding pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin and anti-Trump signs. The closest reads "Make America Indivisible Again." A group of pro-Ukraine, anti-Trump protestors wearing yellow and blue and holding signs. The closest sign reads "Sunflowers Shall Grow on Your Bloodstained Hands."

Mood
A wintery scene. Bare trees. A snow covered ground. A man wearing grey and black stands in front of a hill of snow. A wintery scene. Bare trees. A snow covered ground. A man wearing grey and black that was standing in front of a pile of snow has now fallen into it. He feels cold and despair as the power of winter taps his life force.

At least it's not subzero out
A man walks through a snow-laden path, with frosted trees and bushes lining the way. It is dimly lit, with a brick and white wood building to the left. He is wearing black and red, in a hockey sweater reading "Toffoli 73"

Today I attended Hampton University's Founder's Day. Gen. Xavier Brunson was the keynote speaker. He's the first four-star general from Hampton (class of '90). He spoke of service, helping others and leaving an impact on people beyond what is written on a resume.
Gen. Xavier Brunson, a bald Black man wearing an Army uniform adorned with service medals, stands behind a podium emblazoned with the Hampton University seal with blue curtains in the background and greenery at his feet. He is looking to his right with a smile and his hands on the podium.
