a compilation of bits from TV and films. It is fun. It is good. I will accept any diatribes about my recommendation,
This afternoon I went to the Post Office to mail a letter. Sure, yes, I could have waited until tomorrow and let the mailman pick it up from our front porch. It happens every day, except Sunday. But I did want to keep up with my daily InCoWriMo daily double. Get it in the mail today and I am pretty sure it will arrive this weekend. That was just a part of my reason for going there.
Our closest post office is next door to “I’ve Been Framed”, a great art supply house. Yes, they still frame art. For me, however, they sell stuff. And hopefully, they will continue to be a museum of materials and pieces they have picked up. I wanted to buy something, anything, from them as a show of support. They have been shot.
Four times in the front window. Why would someone shoot an art supply store? It seems it was done due to their putting a piece in the window. It was something you see a lot in our neighborhood. It is a poster. It reads “Black Lives Matter”
Black Lives Matter. So do the people who support them.
As an aside, I have never seen a black person working at or patronizing the store. Maybe I am not observant. Maybe I go there at the wrong times. But I will say that this family-owned decades-old place has been wounded. Not fatally. But I had to buy something.

PS – The store’s name is “I’ve Been Framed” not “I’m …” It is a great place. Go buy stuff.
