My younger brother married a Jamaican American lady. This is his 2nd marriage. She had had two kids when they married. One of them is an actor in the movie August Rush with Robin Williams. Pretty good movie IMHO. I have dated African Americans even though the one in the San Francisco Bay area had a nervous breakdown soon after but was still going strong with the Oakland Chorus. I met many members of the Oakland Chorus in November of 1984 when we went to a Thanksgiving dinner with many of them . Most of these people were gay so it was kind of an experience for me.

Younger brother's 2nd wife was in the Navy and served in the support staff of one of the SEAL teams.

Most of our in house home aid people have some African American ancestry. We have been getting in home house care for 4.5 years. Met lots of interesting ladies. They have roots in many parts of Africa and the Caribbean.


My older brother's first wife is the daughter of one of the US Foreign Service officers from Brazil. She grew up there if memory serves.

In December of 1994 I flew from the Chicago area on the dime of North Carolina Central University for an interview for a law library reference position. Nice people. This is a primarily African American law school. They show up on my Facebook page on occasion.

Yes, Juneteenth is Thursday, and it is a Federal holiday. No mail delivery on Federal holidays.

I had sent something via Priority Mail recently and had thought why is that taking so long to get there and then saw that Thursday is a mail holiday here in the United States .


On another note a number of the female home health care workers we have had in to help with my mother have been in this area of Florida and maybe even within the Villages all their lives. We have had home care people aged 18 to 76 or so. And 90lbs to maybe 360lbs . And maybe 4'11" to 6'3".

Height and weight aside, they won't get mail tomorrow, either.

We have had a lot of Caucasian ladies as well and oddly many of those had the same Leesburg Middle School and high school teachers. The African American ladies, too, had those Leesburg teachers.

Good deal, no bills or junk mail. Now that’s a holiday.

My daughter works at Disney and gets time-and-a-half for working her regular shift. I love Juneteenth.

This definitely one of the strangest threads I’ve read on TOV.

It is basically a day off for government workers. Most everything besides the stock market will be open.
