Good morning, E...((HUGS))...glad you were able to get your coffee maker close by.
What a beautiful blue sky...and look at all that territory Gizmo had to explore. Happy dog.
You boys have a wonderful Thursday.
With all this rain, the corn should be hiding the road from your house very quickly after planting. It will be gorgeous...till the harvest stirs up all that dust. *coffcoff*
Guess I’d better get some sleep. See ya tomorrow!
It’s the rain AFTER the crops are planted that will count. Spring rain gives them a god start but if there’s no rain later, they don’t fare so well.
Get some sleep. Catch ya tomorrow.
Good morning all
Wind and freezing rain today!
We could use some Globull Warming right about now.
Thank you. It’s gonna get crazy around here with the eclipse coming. We are right in the path.

Here are comments sent to me with this story:
“There are very few people that I’m completely in awe of, it has nothing to do with success, money, doctor stuff, fame, education, voice talents, etc.. None of that is anything compared to Victor Brombert’s life.
Professor Victor Brombert is worthy of that honor. He is awe-inspiring to me. Unbelievable , & so elegant & educated & not bitter at all. Having gone onto Omaha Beach in 1944 on D-Day!, and on and on, getting very important intelligence information from the Germans (He is a Jew who speaks fluent German. He saved so many allied troops with the intelligence he obtained. And after that he went to Yale & taught all of these wonderful literature courses. Unbelievable to me. 100 years old.
