Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

This is Glenn Burke. He was credited with inventing the high-five. He was also the first MLB player to come out as gay. Which he announced it in his retirement, in 1982.

So, yeah. A gay Black man invented one of the most popular gestures used by humans. One that expresses joy and celebration.

Yesterday we again visited the #HighFive #coffee location in Woodfin, NC along the French Broad River. It had been over a month, very unusual for us (because of all the rain.)

Also because of the extra water, the river was really high... and so was the wind. The funny thing here is the water in this river flows north (left to right) yet the wind was coming out of the north (right to left) so the surface of the water was very confused.

Nothing here had flooded, but there was damage at another park further north along Riverside Dr.
