It's Kentucky Derby Day. The race has been postponed until September, but it's still Derby Day. There will be a virtual race later this afternoon between former winners. Not the same, but something to look forward to.
In other times, there would be big hats and mint juleps, Celebrating in the infield. Excitement for a dry track. Waiting for the University of Louisville band to play My Old Kentucky Home.
Never mind our often-cited poor health, less than stellar education. On the first Saturday in May, for a brief time, everyone wishes they lived here.
The pin in the picture is enameled metal, by the way. A long-ago lovely gift.
