3-10-23 Philosophy
Hard to decide what to post today but settled on the Cemetery and Historical Marker right on Old Dominion Drive in McLean. Have probably driven by there over 5000 times in the last 30+ years and never saw it. It’s right near the Chesterbrook Shopping Center which is getting a big facelift.
You may ask the significance…The “Methodist circuit rider” William Watters (1751-1827) is commemorated and buried here. He was the first American-born itinerant Methodist minister who offered communion and baptisms. I guess this was a controversial practice in the Methodist faith when the Methodist Episcopal Church formed after American Independence, the Methodist preachers were ordained (not sure the pount of that comment on the poorly written historical marker (picture in my Strava ride)
When I bike I posit many philosophical questions…one today that almost got a photo is “why do we all think we need new huge homes?” I biked through McLean neighborhoods I used to frequent when my son was young so it has been about 20 yrs since I had wandered these places. The size of the homes being or recently built are shocking. I think by the time people can afford to buy these houses, the children are almost college-bound. Such big places for two people??? (we have more room than we need too)
