  • I'm back, but DC is kind of boring. I ride around in the rain and chase fire trucks, because it's that kind of day.

    Thank you! Enjoyed the ride along. Thank for explaining DC law about "rolling stops". I haven't cycled in a while and got nervous when going around pedestrians and against the one-way streets. LOL : )
    I appreciate the history you included about Georgetown and the private cemetery. Thank you, once again!

    I love it when you ride through Georgetown; lived a block off campus (no on-campus housing for women at the time). I went to school there in the late 1950s and early 60s, and I love the place. I was married in Holy Trinity church. I have a lot of nostalgia for the area and visit whenever I can. Thanks for feeding my memories.

Drive on the road! 5:20 AND YOU ADMIT you have a camera in your hand at “full speed” 👎🏼 You may see me in DC in a week. Watch out for me … i’ll be there for two weeks. I’ll have a steel umbrella.

    Lol, I cringe when you call us African Americans, even though I know you mean no harm. I hate that term just as much as I hate the term black. I hate those terms bcuz we are and never were from Africa, and we aren't the color black, either, not to mention that black is a legal status, not a race. Black means dead to the law. Nonetheless, we were and still are the indigenous people of America. We were here before so-called native Americans as well as everyone else, too. We have always been in America and never came from anywhere else. So, we are literally American. The definition of American will tell ya that it originally applied to the copper colored people that were here, which is us, but now applies to Europeans and their descendants. So-called native Americans are definitely not copper colored. They are pale colored, period. The copper at that time was actually dark brown, but there were and are different shades of copper that are all different shades of brown, nonetheless! Either way, there's no offense taken from you calling us African Americans bcuz I know you mean no harm. It just annoys me when people including ourselves, refer to us as African American, black, or negro! People, including our own, are just ignorant to who we really are as well as what these terms really mean, mainly due to the lies taught via history or his-story, etc.
