Foreshadowing from PB Shelley, "Ozymandias," 1817: ...Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read... ...Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone...

Meanwhile, out here in what used to be a decent state to live in.... Poll respondent Diane Bird, a 55-year-old from Fort Madison, said she will support Trump in the caucuses and doesn’t believe the results of the 2020 election. That election so discouraged her that she briefly decided she...

Saw Oppenheimer yesterday. Very well done. Even at three hours, the story never dragged. The long running time was actually a benefit in that it allowed the viewer to take in all of the info without getting lost. And there was a LOT to digest. The acting, direction and cinematography were...

Thanks. I'm a Fugelsang fan so maybe I'll try to share it with him. One of my favorite CSN songs..."too many people have died in the name of Christ for anyone to heed the call..."

The first time I heard CSN, in, yes, 1969, I loved their sound. Recently watched the Crosby documentary, "Remember My Name," which was quite good. Also just finished this drawing of him.
