51 years ago today, RVa's Arthur Ashe won his first Wimbledon singles title.

Billie Jean King writes, "51 years ago today, on July 5, 1975, Arthur Ashe became the first Black man to win a Wimbledon singles title. I won the Wimbledon women's singles title the same year, and we shared a dance together at the ball."

So everyone here has the chance to read some true Real Richmond history, he learned to play and homed his skills on the Northside in a since shuttered sports complex called Brook Field Park. His father was the caretaker/manager. You can read the whole story in this article (it's a great one): https://richmondmagazine.com/news/richmond-history/a-place-for-us/

iphone alexa+ auto update

Irritated. I had followed a suggestion to avoid it by saying English (Canada) as my language and that worked for a short bit to keep this app from alexa+ing out on me and now there's no way (I suppose??) to avoid it having auto updated. The app takes over 3 seconds to open. It crashes easily. Buttons are unresponsive for at least 15 seconds on each new page. On every page there's this ask alexa+ window (completely unnecessary). To perform one task like modifying a routine which before would have taken me all of 1-2 minutes max, it just took me close to 10 minutes. I just do not want to use this app any more at all- it's annoying. maybe not using it at all is their desired effect? If that's the case, it's a job well done.
