This is what he sent me.
What do you call the night before Halloween? Map of the United States - mostly red meaning ‘i have no idea what you are talking about.’ NJ, Delaware, and Fairfield County in CT- shaded blue for ‘Mischief Night’ Michigan- green for ‘Devil’s Night’ and yellow for ‘Other’

Glass of chardonnay and the book ‘their eyes were watching god’ on a picnic table with grapevines in the background at Old Farm Winery. Not soccer.

FYI- Ovechkin’s cereal is bran flakes. He’s older so maybe no more sugary stuff. I love the top panel design of his laces!!!
Box of Ovi’s Great Crunch and jug of mango juice secured on a front bike rack. Top edge of Ovi’s cereal box with black background and his legendary yellow hockey skate laces as the design.

Let’s go Cats!!
Statue of a catamount at UVM. The photo is framed face on. The cat has whiskers which apparently can be used to poke holes in beer cans and said beers are then shotgunned.

Fun weekend in Williamsburg reminiscing about classes and friends, laughter and tears, all the old and new at W&M. #tribe97
W&M painted in yellow on the road by the cafe. View down the brick path to the soon to be renovated/destroyed Morton where my husband and I first met after an economics study session. A PG rated photo with a statue of TJ. The recent enslaved people memorial “Hearth” breaking up the wall near Colonial Williamsburg.

I took this pic to share the long awaited bike/ped infra on Sanger. My son, without prompting, shared his enthusiasm with me.

While I would have loved wider sidewalks, it is expensive to pour concrete so the flexiposts of the bike lanes help with ped safety.
Text exchange with my son Son: have you seen the bike lanes under the bridge by on Sanger? Me: (photo of the back of my husband biking on new lanes with flexiposts and green paint) I have!! Son: there so nice

Alexandria people who like bikes, beer, or pizza!

BPAC is celebrating the new bike and ped infrastructure on Mill Road. Meet us Monday, 8/11, at 6:30pm outside Atlas Brew works. We’ll check out the lanes and then have some drinks and food!
A short stretch of new bidirectional bike lanes protected by flexiposts under a bridge.

Fun stuff in Nashville.
1 pork belly with purple cabbage and chicharons and 1 fried shrimp taco with pickled red onions and avocado on corn tortillas from West20Tacos. A record player and next to file of vinyls on a table with speakers and a suitcase underneath. The red felt of the interior lid of the record player pops against the dark green painted wall. On 4 staggered shelves, album covers of the Beach Boys, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, and Flatt & Scruggs are displayed. Yellow road sign of a silly drawn stick figure with an arrow to the eyes of a silly drawn driver and car. It says, “LOOK! Make eye contact before crossing.” A photo of the 41 foot talk gold leaf covered statue of Athena in the interior of the replica of the Parthenon in Nashville’s centennial park. Two large statues are hung from the ceiling- one looks like they are swimming, the other looks like they are crossing a finish line in a footrace.
