On this day in 1967, the United States Supreme Court in Loving v. Virginia declares all U.S. state laws which prohibit interracial marriage to be unconstitutional. 🏳️‍🌈Last year was a half century since this decision, which helped to lead to the gay marriage decision many years later.🏳️‍🌈

The weekend forecast still looks nice, so I am hoping to do the Gas Up 🚜 and some camping in Schoharie County.🏕 Hot though on Sunday, and it’s still another week until the Mine Kill State Park Pool opens for the summer. I’m thinking Gas Up on Saturday and then maybe find a place to cool off on Sunday.🏊 Maybe do some fishing too.🐟 I have to be careful how far I get off-grid though, as I need to have cellphone reception as I will be on-call but able to work from out in the wilderness as long as I have phone reception.☎

Last night the work picnic was a lot of fun, 🍔and I was able to find somebody to give me a ride home. I probably could and should have driven, as I didn’t end up drinking much, 🎤 and karaoke was kind of neat, although I did not partake. Not my thing. Maybe next year.🚗
