According to NYT, Greenwater Services is the name of the company that received the atypical 1.7m dollar no-bid contract for the Reflecting Pool filtration system. How appropriate! They certainly live up to their name green water! 😂😂 #NotMyPresident
My dad, Oliver, lost his sight during serving in WWII. Rode horses until he was in his 70s, yes with minimal sight. Loved to square dance with his buddies for nursing homes. Loved music. Loved to hike & volunteered for train maintenance with friends. Missed every day 💔 #FathersDay
Jon Batiste is pure genius! Following “Beethoven Blues” with his new work “Black Mozart,” he mixes classical with blues & gospel, elevating the everyday into a high art form and turns out a celebration of sound for #blackmusicmonth Make that piano preach, Jon!
