I also have a late uncle David. He was a musician and a biker, big sci-fi fan, did a lot of drugs in the 70s and 80s, and hung out with Shawn Colvin in the 70s.
This is a very cool post full of optimism, fans, and A/C. I've never seen those "squints" before, so you introduced me to something new today. Are you planning to get any of the animal or alien ones? I know June is a favorite month and it sounds like you're off to a great start. Plus, your birthday falls on a Friday, so you get to celebrate all weekend long!
Funny you should mention it, today (Monday) is João Gilberto's birthday. I had a million other thoughts that would comprise a post-length comment, but that will have to wait til after coffee.
I love the names of your people. My great Granny was Annie Belle. She was born in 1904 and dipped snuff. Tuberose snuff to be exact. I once saw her shoot a squirrel out of a tree and fixed it for supper. She had running water but no toilet and this was in the 1970’s. She struggled financially but she never failed to have a Christmas present and birthday present.
Thank you for taking me back to that precious memory.
Your posts are always packed with wisdom, enlightenment, knowledge and personality. Thank you.
Love that your family lived on the same road. My grandparents built houses in front of their home in Maryland for their 3 daughters. My family was my community for many years. Thank you for taking me back to those days.
Always loving your Sunday lists, Allison. The floating teepee, your beautiful picture, stories and quote by Nate Berkus, all inspire me. Thanks for sharing about your Uncle, sorry for your loss. Loved reading about them on the old family street. Sending peace and love.

Well, apparently uncle David was totally my kind of guy. Sounds like he lived well.
