"Warrior of Love"

I'm a warrior of love
With helmet in glove
And baby you'll know
when we go toe to toe
I'm trained in hand to hand
I'll bang until you can't stand
I'm a warrior
Warrior of Love

Woodjunky would
He likes to see that junk
slidin' round in your trunk
He's got a power tool
but he's a trunkjunk fool
Woodjunky would
woodjunky would
He'll smooth it good
He keeps the project clean
Puts on a tung oil sheen
Woodjunky would
woodjunky would

Oops, should've posted this at Jasmine Six-string.
What I meant to say is, I went for a long walk today (snore)

Racial Injustice: The Case of Walter Lett Inspired Harper Lee

Chronology: The case of Walter Lett influenced Harper Lee in writing To Kill a Mockingbird. Here are the events of the case, and its connection to Harper Lee.

The legal system operated quickly. “On March 16, 1934, Lett was arraigned ...

Reflections from the Last Few Days

I’ve concentrated these posts on the travel & walking, shortchanging some other cultural observations, like food, drink, etc. As we are now headed back to Lisbon, those things may get more attention. Events elsewhere have colored our experience here. This next part is personal. Some reader may find it interesting, or in the future we may appreciate the reminder of these things. Jan & Bruce have been particularly concerned about the impact of Hurricane Helene the last few days. A couple weeks before we left & just before his 96th birthday, my dad began hospice care. We went to see him on his birthday. It was not at all clear that he was any closer to death. On our first day here we were shocked to learn that a beloved friend since college died due to consequences of cancer. Our thoughts the first two days were on Terry, her family, and our mutual friends. She was active, adventurous, loving, fun, and until last spring, healthy. She’s on the left in this photo. Thursday, Dad’...
