From posting:

Our cat, Echo is missing from the 400 block of Laurel. She is a domestic short hair. Calico with a split face—half black the other orange and white. Very sweet but she doesn’t ever wander out so we are very worried. If found please call 225-8921.

Hot Weekend For Protests

Those are scenes from down on Brown’s Island today where the March on the Mansion protest was staged. People from all over Virginia braved traffic and heat to attend and let Gov. McAuliffe and his Dominion friends know how wrong their energy policies are and what they are doing to the citizens and environment of the Commonwealth.

It was nice to see former neighbors Gayla and Gene Mills perform their song “Oregon Hill” on the stage before the speakers began.

Tomorrow, I understand there is a March for Bernie starting at noon in Monroe Park.
