There are still people who would vote for anything touched by Farage? Interesting.

Well, I'd vote for a glass of beer.
But not for the man who's touching it.
Damn, we are on page 365... a years worth of a daily quote per page... Tree will mix a drink and crawl off to bed... Do not rest well; I'll be back...

Today is the first day of the Octave of Easter, the feast that goes from High Easter Sunday to the next known as Low Sunday in the Anglican Church. It is particularly appropriate at this time to remember the other name of the eight day of the Octave, Quasimodo (or Quasimodogeniti) Sunday. The name comes from the traditional Latin Introit (Latin for Entrance – the verse at the opening of the Eucharist) for this Sunday from 1 Peter 2:2 “Quasi modo geniti infants..” [In the same manner that newborn babes…]
In Victor Hugo’s Gothic Novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, the deformed hunchback baby (who was switched at birth with a normal girl) is abandoned by his mother (on the foundlings' bed, where orphans and unwanted children are left to public charity) on Quasimodo Sunday at Notre-Dame Cathedral. Hence his name.
We can all think during the Octave and especially on Quasimodo how that great cathedral has been for centuries not only a place of worship, but a savior of lost children.
May it rise again in splendor.

I think you are playing with fire--giving him ideas--when you compare him to an emperor penguin. I hope that isn't imported beer.

I missed the date on Friday, April 19. But too important to skip.
April 19, 1775, immortalized:
Concord Hymn
BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument, July 4, 1837
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
And not to forget the other fallen heroes:

Standin' on a corner,
Suitcase in my hand.
Jack's in his car, says to Jane, who's in her vest,
Me, babe, I'm in a rock n' roll band.
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim,
Those were different times.
And the poets studied rows of verse,
And all the ladies rolled their eyes
Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane, Sweet Jane
Time passes... Tree's first business flight (you didn't have to walk through 'security' then) carried his 'luggage' in a paper grocery bag because he didn't have a suitcase. Try doing that now...

No, even the TSA is there... Except for the Tree secret airport!Happens only in Arkansas these days
They really only want to look at the female travelers.... I don't know why...View attachment 699755 At which all passengers are asked to check their clothing before boarding
I thought that was Spencer Tunick International.View attachment 699755 At which all passengers are asked to check their clothing before boarding

Well, the day after 9/11/2001 the entire airspace of the US was shut down. Apparently some guy (how he got a pilot's license I'll never understand) didn't realize it, and took off in his plane from a "civil aviation" airport (why they didn't stop him I'll never understand) to pick up his daughter from her college. He was forced down by an Air National Guard F-16. I hope the Tree Secret Airport (TSA) is sophisticated enough to avoid that.
Not a chance. The management and air traffic controllers are usually drunk or out hunting for blue state brides.
