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.

I’m going to try one more time: ;_ylt=AjRU99GDIIqU2EhnCVFY_aubvZx4?
It’s supposed to be the “Rocky” theme but I give up.
I can do this: _ylt=AjRU99GDIIqU2EhnCVFY_aubvZx4?
No I can’t !#&*+

Debbe, If you can figure out how to do it, then go ahead. You may want to just download Chris Rice’s version off Itunes as his version is awesomer…Is that a word?
More awesome?
A.Word.A.Day* [AWAD] always ends with a quote. Here is today’s:
Jefferson, Thomas, third US president, architect, and author (1743-1826). “I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.” A.150727
*You can subscribe free, but Anu Garg passes the hat occasionally. This week, it’s 5 words from Hebrew, not Yiddish, which he has also done.
Luddy obviously didn’t grab the blue-tailed skink by the tail or that’s all he’d have got.
Peace, emb
And those little lizards are doggone fast, too. Good catch Luddie.
Today’s TIP isn’t bad.

Peace, emb
Zairis’s painting is titled, “Fishermen.” I don’t know what’s in the hatbox.
Peace, emb
Unless I miss my guess, Luddie’s planning to take the lizard someplace where it can’t quickly hide and play with it. That’s not to say that he won’t end up eating it, but play is probably his first plan.
Or a surprise gift for Janis. And that reaction should be a hoot!
Two days in a row Ludwig has made an appearance. The cat days of July. 😉
If Jimmy keeps it up for another week, Luddie will be a cat o’ nine tales.
Even on a rainy Monday, there’s a crowd waiting for Old Faithful, which is due to erupt NOW.
Good evening Villagers…..
Jerry…you are so funny…perseverance!!!! And boy, you did try…love the &^%) 🙂
Long morning, but for those interested, Mom’s obit is online….the pic is about 12 years old, some say I favor her. We got to laughing, but left it out, that she loved to spoil her grandchildren…and then send them home….dang, I wish we would have left it in. Now we are going thru hymns and scripture….

love Debbe
TruckerRon – Fantastic video.
For Mark – drums and high hat cymbal crash. 🙂
Personally, I think Luddie’s catch of the day is going to be the “one that got away” – in the house. 😀
Sorry Debbe, no such luck.

Thank you Mark. I guess that posting links is not my thing. I thought that “Gonna Fly Now” was appropriate for Debbe. For more than one reason now that I think about it.
I remember cheering for Loogootee in the state finals 40 some years ago. My brothers and I sang It is Well with my Soul at my sister in law’s funeral last month. That’s another good standard.
You are welcome Jerry. The post that doubled and then disappeared contained the lines: A little help Jerry. And hey, it’s Monday morning.
Gary, the two of you look very sharp, there. Funny, your wife looks a lot like mine.
Thanks, that was one of the dojo Christmas parties. And yes, she does look fantastic.
Debbe: If you favor your mom, then you are blessed!
