I suppose the good news here is, the nuclear-war plan has trended upward since 1997. I’m traveling today. I am in Demopolis, Alabama, “City of the People.” You should Google it. It has a very interesting history. It was founded in the early 19th century by Bonapartists, political exiles from France after the return of Royalist government there. The settlers in west Alabama established what became known as “the vine and olive colony.” They thought they would be able to grow these crops, because the soil and climate reminded them of Bordeaux. They were wrong about that. There was a John Wayne movie supposedly set in French Demopolis that bore no relation whatsoever to anything that ever really happened.

This is a snippet of Eternal Farther – just before “lie beside styrian sea” are words I cannot understand- I have listened over and over – and searched the net and found over 150 sets of lyrics but not that. Has anyone a clue?

Debbe 😉 Walking Playlist #7 – This one, I suppose, reminds me of a lady from my past who was always very good at starting me up. Also, because The Rolling Stones.

Ah, of course, the birthday of Ken Burns. How could I miss that?
Their sample track that contains All Is Well With My Soul gets cut off before it is reached
Sand you chose the saddest, most poignant song of anyone for your funeral. Ashokan Farewell. Gof, that was a heart rending rendition! But beautiful.
Sat out on the shores looking at Mount Ranier for dinner, picnic watching diving birds and herons. How can anyone not love the outdoors and our beautiful country? I am blessed to get to experience all I have my entire life.
Love Jackie
Jackie,
Mt. Rainier is perhaps the most majestic Mt. in the Cascades, but also the deadliest. Building on its slopes is like bldg. on a floodplain, but more catastrophic, because worse things happen faster.

I note with regret the passing of Bob Anderson, the man behind the Decorah eagle website, cameras, etc. He died Monday morning. Aside from sympathy for his family, many hope his notable bald eagle work will be continued, as well as his pet work on peregrine falcons. You may be able to google more details.
Well!! A&J in full frontal…?
OK, now I’m the one that doesn’t get it. Can someone explain todays strip(!) to me?
Good morning Villagers….
Happy Anniversary Jimmy Johnson…congratulations on the many years of success.
Cxp…congratulations on 53 years of marriage…..Gary, I pray that you and your wife will see the same.
Regarding today’s real time strip, one commentor offers several old strips.
Lots of links above to keep me busy until time to get ready. Did a trial run on the makeup last night…yup, I can still do it 🙂
Mindy…yes, I read BCN arc on the tuna can….my cats come running anytime they hear a can open, even with the tab pulls. Never thought about a chunk of ice for them. Snowee, now she likes to bat at the water (she looks like Lupin) I’m enjoying her Christmas story on GoComics too. She also has a twitter account I check on and her pics…do you check them out.
On her twitter account was a tragic story…..they should shoot them and skin and behead all three involved: https://twitter.com/hashtag/CecilTheLion?src=hash
GR 😉 glad it was just a hectic schedule…how’s your Mother, well I pray.
later………….
on the guest book, you guys are so sweet, kind and gentle…thanks. I can hear my sisters now….just who are those people?????
Old Bear, it seems you might be mixing two hymns together: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dear_Lord_and_Father_of_Mankind

Mark, I couldn’t find Jimmy’s thank you…..
Debbe: Last panel of the strip.
Mark: Thank you! Did not get the connection…
Galliglo, you’re welcome. I recognized the style, but had never noticed the artist’s name till I looked up the reference this morning.
Old Bear, another reference link for you: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/traditional-music/
I found this site while trying to locate lyrics for a folksong I had heard played on one of my internet radio stations. The material included ranges from folk music of the UK, American folk music, sea songs, old hymns, etc.
