A walk around the forest and a coffee machine.

Image
I finally bit the bullet and ordered a new coffee machine. It was to be delivered today and required a signature.  The drivers often play games with these deliveries as I live on a private gated property.   It was supposed to be delivered between 10 am and 9 pm.  That's a wide 11 hour range.  I went out to gather kindling for my evening fire as it is supposed to rain this evening.   As I was gathering kindling, I kept my eye on the gate in case the UPS truck showed.  My attention was focused there. After gathering kindling and returning it to my house, I decided to go for a walk as it is in the 40's today.  I walk the perimeter of the cleared land for exercise.  As soon as I reached the area of the gate, I heard a truck coming.  Sure enough, exactly as I was at the gate, the UPS truck pulled up.  The driver was incredibly nice, friendly, and accommodating.  He carried the package to my front door with good cheer.

The Disappearance of Railways, Trolley Parks, and Roundhouses Michelle Gibson

Where I grew up in Pennsylvania, there were trolley lines, rail lines, and roundhouses that have all been dismantled over the course of my lifetime. My Dad rode the trolleys. The rail round house I saw was huge and incredibly impressive.    All gone....

Based on the beloved Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz, the half-hour animated special introduced to millions a different kind of Christmas story: small in scale, emotionally honest, tender, and subversively thoughtful. At the time, few expected much. The special was produced on a modest budget, completed in just six months, and featured child actors rather than seasoned voice talents — a bold choice for 1965 television. Executives worried: no laugh track, understated pacing, a jazz soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi Trio, and a storyline that questioned the commercialization of Christmas. Then it aired.

John Denver a tool of the civilization

Image
 Start at 10 minutes in...John Denver was supposed to be on the Challenger that blew up... "NASA is one of the best things going on in the world."  He talks sustainability, environmentalism, and politics. Is he just brainwashed with propaganda or is he entrained to this place? I met John Denver at the Watergate Hotel in DC.  He was performing at the Kennedy Center in a tribute to Peter, Paul, and Mary.  Arrived in a limo and signed autographs for the handful of people who were there.
