Hooch

One of the great things I have been amazed at is the role of coffee in histroy. Think about for a few minutes:

Civil War - Trading for Chickoary
WWI - Trading across lines
WWII - used to keep pilots awake
60s and 70s - help for an effective cultural revolution

Of course today the hippies buy their coffee as capresso from dealers.


Overall kinda funny.

Dawn South

After watching the Patriot again, I am ready to go down south and look at sites again. I would need to get a Hilton Head rental and look around there.

Spend some time seeing the historical sites and such.

I really need to go see some fun sites.

In any case I am ready for a good vaction with historical importance.


Have a happy day.

This is It

By the way this is post #100.

I am rather amazed at how much furniture is costing this days. I am in need of way to do a directbuy and save some money.

The current methodology of buying furniture really kinda sucks. I am not very happy with the way it works on the buying. I had a really hard time with finding the right amount of furniture.

The furniture place here in town is really hard.
Well have a happy day.

Bags Are Wanting to Travel

I am wanting to go on vacation somewhere. However, the basic problem is that of air travel prices.

I guess it really does not matter if my luggage is packed and I am ready to head off to somewhere nice and fun.

I would really like to go to Israel. That is rather my dream vaction. However with the price of tickets . . . not to sure that is going to happen.

Have a most happy day.

Bad Histroy Passions

I have to confess I love Rome.

If was looking at 'window treatments'. AKA as Window Shades or blinds or curtains.

There was some called Roman ventshades.

Not I was stunned. I have to confess I wanted to buy them ASAP. They are so cool looking. They pull up and bunch up. OF course I did not buy them. However, I wonder how much was I infulanced by the name of the product.

Nict so gut.

Well have a happy day.

A Trip for fun

Well my wife, so it seems, is going to be going to the big party out in Scranton / Wilkes-Barre. By the way the Barre is not said as BAR it is Berry.

So she is going for the weekend and will be there for fun. I just hope she will be safe and not need an item out there for any the potential problem out there.

Of course I love going to the east coast and even just to walk through historical areas or even grave yards. So I am a little jealous.

Have a happy day.

Belgium

One of the neat stories is from WWI.

The rape of Belgium was going on. Some Belgium businessmen came together and asked the Germans for permission to buy food for their people. The Germans agreed.

America answered the call. Many bags of flour and such were sent. All the bags had to be returend to America.

What amazed me is that the Belgium people stitched them with messages or made pillows with the sacks.

If you get a chance there is a large collection of these former sacks in the Hoover Library.

McCain Wins

Hey now . . . I am thinking that this presidential election if going to make for some really awesome thesis for PHD canidates. THink about some of these situations that have gone on.

I am sure some of these canidates are going to break out in some sexy costumes or worse yet . . . well who knows what.


Well now that McCain has won the oddness will get even weirder.


Have a happy day.
