The Dream Is Still Alive

Today is anniversary of MLK's "I have a Dream" speech at the feet of Abraham Lincoln and not at Golden Nugget Las Vegas.

His speech reminds us of the equality that is still needed among all people. Perhaps one day we will be allowed to to, "Judge people by the content of their character, and not by the color of their skin."

You need to listen to this speech as it was spoken. Do not just read, but listen. His wording is fantastic. I have included the You Tube video for your viewing pleasure.

Louis XVI and Fun

Many people think that really sexy clothing is a relativly new invention. There are some items that have been around for many many years. As an example, Henry XVI (16) (who wife was Marie Antoinette) at the time of the French Revolution, used some open tip bras for Henry XVI.

Of course Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson (Mme de Pompadour), the lover of Louis XVI, is in her own right a really odd person who had relationships with dad and son.

Look Forward, looking back

When I look at past and all the changes and odd things that were done. I wonder what the future will hold for us. As an example, how will nutritional supplements be seen in the cuture of the future as they look at us.

OR how about compouters. Most of the data that we right will be lost. No simple written jornals. All computer inputted now. Take time to write things out by hand.

Have a happy day.

Histroy and Truth

Finding the odd stories of history is kinda like having a colon cleanse in that you learn new things.

The book, that is not in my American History is an example of this type of history. The mind gets twisted a little when we find out that things are not always what they appear to be.

One of the best examples is the Wright Brothers and thier famous flight. The bad news. They were not first.

Cool Discovery

I was changing the cabinet hardware on a friends house recently. And when going though things he found his dad's diary.

This was quite a find as his dad had passed way shortly after Vietnam war and injuries thereof. While not a great find historically. Many items like this will help us better understand what had happened.

I hope that you find such great treasures.

HAve a happy day.

Costumes.

Many of the Ancient cultures . . . esp those who were rich, and esp. the people who were rich, loved to have animal jewelry on their pets.


The egyptians decorated thier cats like crazy. You can always see many of the decorations in war dogs. While not stones per say, they were nonetheless decorated.

An example is the dogs in the movie gladiator.

Have a most happy day.

Lady Godivia

When looking at the past I wonder how things would have changed if they were in modern day America. A numer of years ago the comic strip "Bloom County" explored this idea.

I went back to Lady Godivia and sued to allow her to be nude on the horse. He won and changed the whole world. In that day, the lawyers rued the world and everyone was sued.

Can we stop that day from coming?
