Digging Zoot Suit S'mores

I just learned about the Zoot Suit Riots, which started on this date in 1943. I had never heard of the riots before. There's so much history we're not taught, but at least it's out there to be discovered...and learned.

Talk of Zoot Suits always makes me think of the homemade suit worn by Tom (of Tom and Jerry). Turns out, that's from a short called The Zoot Cat, which was released in 1944. Interesting timing vis-a-vis The Zoot Suit Riots.

We had a really nice evening at home. It was quite warm — first day (I think) in the 80s. Feels like summer has arrived. Jake requested that we get supplies for s'mores. Renee and I were watching the Guardians game (lost to the Yankees) but were happy we got a chance to sit with Jake at the fire for a bit. Great conversation.
