I Just Watched “The twenties in Color America in Color The 1920s Smithsonian Channel” on YouTube
I can’t get enough of learning about past decades.. Especially one as recent as just one hundred years ago. It was interesting to see digitally enhanced color video shoots of private parties during prohibition, busy streets in New York City and people just living their every day lives…. all caught on film. I wonder…

I’m Watching “What Was The Life Of A Roman Citizen Like? | Meet The Romans | Odyssey” on YouTube
Mary Beard is the presenter, she’s quite interesting. She’s my mom’s age. I added her to my interesting people database… Apparently, she’s quite well known, but this documentary is the first I’ve heard of her. While watching this I had an idea for a history project… I also added a couple of places I’d…

I’m Watching “The Century: America’s Time – 1920-1929: Boom To Bust” on YouTube
Peter Jennings hosted this in 1999. He would be dead six years later at the age of 67. It starts off by discussing prohibition and the spread of electricity. People started using electricity in the cities first, then to the point where most households had electricity in their homes by the end of the…

I Just Read “The Washington Post: The eviction moratorium is about to end. Rent relief hasn’t arrived. These renters decided to take action.”
I hate seeing people suffer, especially needlessly. The money is available, why in the hell aren’t they getting it? At least some landlords are understanding and know that they will eventually get their money. There is not much worse than not knowing where you’re going to lay your head at night. My heart absolutely…
