Black Friday – Blessed By Pines
The day after Thanksgiving. This, weirdly, has become known as Black Friday. I can only assume that the reason is that any day spent rushing around stores has a certain bleakness.
The original Black Friday was September 24, 1869, a day that financial panic hit the gold market due to manipulations by robber barons Jay Gould and James Fisk. (Again, I’m not sure of the connection to post-Thanksgiving Christmas shopping. The fear of gold losing its value over the course of a single day?)
I was lucky enough to spend a lot of the day outdoors.
Above is a video of treetops, blown by wind, not searching out anything but sun; evergreens, yes, but way too tall to worry about Christmas coming.

Unfairly not doubt, we force black to carry many negative associations, but not in those circles most frequented by accountants.

We also force it (black) to cover many New Yorkers.
