July is nearly over; August peeps ‘round the bend. This day in history marked one of the first marches protesting the lynching and murders of African-Americans in Texas, Mississippi, Missouri, and other southern states. The “Silent Parade of 1917” was held in New York City. It’s a shame that white teachers in public schools don’t feel the need to teach this part of history to their students! This is why I put informative and educational posts here on my humble little blog from time to time – they are sorely needed. 100 years later, and things are still more or less the same. We’ve come a long way, and have much farther to go, but some are heavily invested in turning the clock back.

The weekend approaches, so how about some music? I will be gaming like a maniac as well, so tune in to my Twitch channel and watch…

13-15/25

A selection of images from the Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park in Illinois. These images are a combination of the onsite sculpture and my addition of miniatures – such as a dollhouse 1:12 scale electric chandelier and an O scale astronaut.
