"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Merry Christmas to you and yours Rodger. I'm up here enjoying the heat in southern Maryland with the northern grand kids. I'll be heading back to Florida in a couple of days for some cooler weather.
Merry Christmas to Rodger and all that dwell here. It's 19 degrees here in Idaho Falls at 12:30 PM and going down to -8 tonight. Gotta get outside and fire up the snow blower now.
Beethoven's piece was used for our Junior High School (JHS 104) song [Skoonj, 'Remember this?]:
We salute thee Blue and Gold In our hearts we'll always hold Our devotion strong and true One-Oh-Four we honor you!
Those of us in Hans Rittermann's homeroom sang it like this: We salute you Red and Black At your head we'll always hack Teachers may think we are nuts Rittermann, we hate your guts!
(After more than 50 yrs., I can still remember this stuff!)
Stu, yes I do remember the JHS 104 song. I sang it enough, and played it enough back then. You see, at graduation I was in the school orchestra. At the back. I had a tube, or upright (E flat) bass. Play that enough in rehearsal, and other words naturally come to you. Unfortunately, I still can't write a damned one of them. I wasn't even about to say them loud enough that Miss O'Reilly, head of the graduation ceremony and also my math teacher, could hear. She was already in a fine mood since the day before graduation the US Supreme Court ruled against prayer in public school. She had a temper, that one, and went ahead with the scheduled prayer anyway. I think that was the same year you played Lt. Cable in the South Pacific play they put on.
I was in tears, too! Merry Christmas!
