@mcfate I am unable to understand how anybody could think that driverless cars and trucks are a good idea.

I've been visiting Bill Armstrong in Heathsville, VA, and one of his hobbies is making replicas of US Revolution rifles and pistols. Today, he let me shoot one of them.

Today, I explored the Northern Neck area of Virginia.
The first picture is Christ Church, built by Robert "King" Carter, who was a very rich man, in 1735.
The second picture is Morris House in Reedville, on the Chesapeake Bay. It was built in 1895.
The third picture is Saint Stephen's Episcopal Church in Heathsville, built in 1881.

I visited Kenmore today. It was the home of Fielding Lewis, a major supporter of the US Revolution. Not on the battlefield, but by supplying guns and ships at his own expense. Kenmore got a lot of famous visitors, including Lafayette.
Just two blocks down the street from Kenmore is a monument to the drafting of the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom by Jefferson and four other movers and shakers in 1783. Remember that in 1783, religious freedom was a revolutionary concept.

@WordsmithFL Did he admit that he asked Khrushchev to attack the US with nuclear weapons?

This picture is in the Fredericksburg (VA) Area Museum. One of my earliest childhood memories is of a woman carrying a sign with the same message at the corner of William and Caroline Streets, where there was a whites-only lunch counter. (J. J. Newberry, I think.)

I visited Chatham, across the river from Fredericksburg, today. The first picture is the main house, built in 1771.
It was the Union army's headquarters during much of the Civil War, and was visited by Lincoln and Walt Whitman. Clara Barton and Dr. Mary Walker worked there.
The two trees on the left were there during the Civil War.
The second picture is the view of downtown Fredericksburg from Chatham.

I've been traveling in Virginia for the past week. I toured Tuckahoe Plantation, west of Richmond, today. It was the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson.

Liberal Redneck: runs as independent. No new information here, but I like the way Trae explains it.

@LSWellesley One takeaway is, we're eventually going to have it out with Iran. Fact is, most Iranians dislike the religious fanatic government.

The writers of Curb Your Enthusiasm really outdid themselves with the RFK Jr. launch episode.

@poemblaze I'm pretty sure I have never downloaded a cue sheet file.
I typed in "locate libcue", and it came up empty, so I'm probably safe.
