The Supreme Court Case Meme

Which I got from dakiwiboid:

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.) For those who see this on your f-list, take the meme to your OWN lj to spread the fun.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm going to post about Loving vs Virginia (1967), which has the distinction, among others, of a very appropriate name. The Supreme Court's decision on this case ended race-based restrictions on marriage in the United States; a good decision for justice, and for love.

Goodbye, Bookbag

I just got myself a new backpack. The old one was tattered and dingy and just this side of disreputable, and the new one is bright red plaid.

And yet... WD gave me the old one, and I've dragged it to Montreal and Columbus, OH, to several different jobs, to shopping trips and libraries all over the Greater Boston Area. It never ran off with someone else, it held my belongings and kept them more or less together and more or less safe. I feel like it deserves a bit of a funeral, maybe a pyre on the lawn.

Alas.

*pats the old bookbag gratefully before stuffing it into a trashbin*
