I walked into the BLCK Market () in the Buffalo Soldier Museum () not knowing that I would find one of the best in Houston. You'll need a good couple of hours to see everything. The patrons were there in healthy numbers, a testament of how good they're doing over here.

It was in the time shortly following the death of Nipsey Hussle. The first thing I saw when I walked in was a commemorative in his honor. The sense of family and community was all around. Laughter, smiles, music, all the good things were going on this evening.

I caught up with a couple . Peachie () creates fantastical imagery there were so many customers t buying I had to wait for my turn to shoot and I was thinking about how much time it takes to put these presentations together. Artists have to CREATE from nothing.

leftovers from a Facebook post but I think the dog part ended up being fun so here it is. 😹
someone once asked me, "Frankie why do you always use the laughing cat emoji? Aren't you a dog person?"

To which I replied, "yes I am a dog person. But there's no laughing dog emoji. And I also have a cat now, so it's okay."

this isn't my best but it's the dog poem I have right now.

How did I end up here? Camping. Camping. Who camps anymore?

It was one of those activities you would remember from an old movie or something. movies, maybe one of the many National Lampoon's with Chevy Chase. But who lives that life anyway? I didn't ever really. The first time I went camping was in Austin, Ink's Lake. We just showed up; the Trini in me brought an 18-inch "Undertaker Warrior" Bowie knife - just in case.

Skip ahead a decade and I'm out of Texas and having a coffee at the coffee shop in the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center in Iraq, fantasizing about all the normal "American" activities I would do once I got home. Somehow I got turned on to this podcast. This guy, Skip, just decided to make a camping podcast and do it all by himself. Snapped his magic radio fingers and here I am 8 thousand miles away learning about tent selection. It was good for me to get that piece of home to look forward to. A few more years yet and I find myself plodding through the forests of Houston.

S/O to my for taking me there for over 30 years

Of course we didn't know it then, but just two days later the would sweep the midterm in with some making its way onto the bench! How much stigma and bias has worked its way into and affected our lives as the result of so-called ? A phrase I'd heard so often on election night was " " with and without the Hashtags. I can't tell you how high my hopes are for the work everyone is doing - after elections, too.
