Day 138 – 07/28/2020
Woke up before six to a great morning – 74º and 97% humidity. Body knew we needed to walk, Brain wasn’t buying it.
BRAIN: I’d rather stay here, take my time waking up, get caught up online…
BODY: Online will be here when we get back – I’m not camping in that chair again all day.
BRAIN: It’s gonna hurt.
BODY: Yeah. Let’s go.
We walked down Rhode Island to 9th and when we came up New Hampshire toward home we found our reward – a display for the specially-commissioned mural painted on the adjacent building. After reading the bios, I’m good for at least a week on learning one new thing a day – Kansas has a rich history in every direction. Aaron Douglas, Gordon Parks, Langston Hughes, Oscar Micheaux, Gwendolyn Brooks, Hattie McDaniel, and Coleman Hawkins all spent a portion of their lives here and contributed to the genius that is us while sharing themselves with the greater world.
Ms. Head’s full of it and she knows it. If we listened to her all the time we’d miss some of the best stuff.
DISCLAIMER: Kim Smith had nothing to do with these wonky early-morning caffeine-free photos.
