Fantastic image from @TracesofTexas
November 1905: President Teddy Roosevelt (who I've circled in red) speaks to a crowd in front of Alamo, San Antonio, TX.

Teddy visited SA 3 times:
- 1892 to hunt javelinas
- 1898 to train the Rough Riders
- 1905 as President
Love this image.
This is the Presidential procession, by horseback and buggy, through a sea of men and women wearing hats.

The event was a Rough Rider reunion, so I imagine he was surrounded by his former fellow soldiers.
If I ever get my time machine working, I'm setting the dials to 1905 and listening to his speech.

I'm just going to admit it:
I miss the days in primary school when we prepared dozens of these little cards with attached candy and dropped them in shoeboxes on everyone's desk.

Thinking of doing same for my lab staff, but with cryoboxes.
Honestly, the dorkier the message, the more authentic it will feel.
*touches earpiece*
I am being told that many of these constitute workplace harassment now.

What's interesting about El Paso, TX (El Paso del Norte) in Texas history is that it wasn't part of Texas.

Texas was born from the MX state of "Coahuila y Tejas", while El Paso was in the state of Chihuahua. No paseños were involved in the Texas Revolution...
... which took place hundreds of miles away in a different state entirely. The new nation, Republic of Texas, made no claims on El Paso.

The city got thrown in at the 1845 annexation of Texas as a US state, which was a big surprise to the actual Texans!
All of these contested territorial claims by the US (claiming half the MX state of Chihuahua) led to disputes that gave rise to the Mexican-American War.

The US ultimately invaded Mexico, occupied their capital, and forced the government to sign a surrender at gunpoint.

CW: biology x theology.
Can you be a Christian and accept evolution?
I certainly hope so (I know many who are), but I also understand *why* they are in conflict.
1. Original sin:
If Adam & Eve brought sin into God's perfect world, then Jesus' sacrifice is necessary. If we challenge this notion, then sin was either built into the world, or Jesus died for political theater.
2. Humans as animals:
Biologists will tell you humans are animals, taxonomically, but the Bible is clear on humans being special and capable. Is Heaven filled with, at a minimum, high IQ dolphins, ravens and horses? Smart protohumans? Chimps?

Racist Democrat Governor, Ralph “CoonMan” Northam, refusing to step down after top Democrat Officials request he do so for dressing in “blackface” and/or as a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) Member in his college yearbook.
Governor “CoonMan” Northam (who states he is not sure why he was given that racist nick-name) back-pedaled from a statement admitting he was in fact photographed in racist garb in 1984.

CoonMan states now he didn’t do it, but admits to wearing BlackFace another time.
CoonMan states he wore BlackFace in San Antonio, Tx for a “dance contest” so that he could look like singer Michael Jackson. He stated he loved Michael Jackson greatly, so much so, that he required the assistance of his wife to recall the singer’s name during the presser.
