WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF McAULIFFE AT BASTOGNE, I MUST PASS THIS ON:

A Cut&Paste for History's sake:

McAuliffe at Bastogne. What did he say? Check every source you can. 100% = “Nuts!”

And 100% of them are a Winston Smith example from 1984. This is cast in bronze in the town center of Bastogne today: A bronze statue of Anthony Clement “Nuts” McAuliffe.

McAuliffe’s real answer was better, far better, but would NEVER have gone over with 1945 America and Britain.

“Merde.”

His actual answer was sanitized for the typed-out message to the troops (and the world). But there were a lot of other officers there, including many GI guards. They all clearly heard the brilliant reference to Cambronne’s answer to the Brits in Victor Hugo’s novel. And saw the Germans’ reaction. What used to be fairly common knowledge has essentially disappeared/never happened.
 
Gooode morning brothers and sisters!

More rain here, starting at 42F.

Alas Grayfox has begun suffering from sciatica and is now on Gabipenten, which leaves her feeling doofee and forgetful. She is only 74 and has always been height/weight proportional, but an old auto accident, wear, and arthritis have taken their toll. She is also starting physical therapy, which I hope helps enough for her to get off of the pain meds.

The real issue that we currently have with her sciatica and my spondylolisthesis, is that neither of us can walk that far right now, so Miss Layla is getting shorted. We're still doing our morning mile with her, but I've started taking her to the park during the day, instead of walking the hood, to try to find other players to exercise her.

Unfortunately, there are not a lot out during the day and inclement weather, so we're down to chasing a ball, which is not as exciting as sniffing and discovering new things on a walk or romping with the other pups.

Danmnt,,,i thought it might be a western. 🤪

My favorite Western writer. Read everyone of his books. Several of his books were turned into movies. The Sacketts were some of his best books.
Some ppl liked Zane Gray westerns,,but he bored the fk out of me.

Hoo Boy! I spent ten fargin hours straight yestiddy editing a novel. I am gonna do about the same today. Just blew about an hour here catching up with all that is going down.

This novel's title is "A Polished Arrow". One great difficulty in editing a really good novel: You slip unawares from editing to reading... and when you come to your senses, you realize you haveta go back and re-read it without "listening".
There is already a book with that title. Is it normal to have the same title in books?
 
I get stiff joints in damp weather. Get along pretty well at 69, except I think my hips are getting to their last legs. I have no attention on getting them replaced Don't want to go under the knife again. Getting to old.
 



yep , ive journaled my headaches for years trying to learn my triggers

at the end of the day , it all boiled down to barometric atmospheric changes , i can count on it like the sun coming up everyday

i am at the tension/high altitude mode right now , waiting for the coffee to kick in

sometimes , although rare , smoking some herbs helps..but mostly not


  • A migraine headache causes a moderate-to-severe throbbing sensation on one or both sides of the head. Migraines are typically associated with nausea, vomiting, and light and sound sensitivity. They may be preceded by an aura (reversible visual or sensory disturbances).
  • A tension-type headache feels like a rubber band wrapped is around the head, although it's not usually as severe as a migraine. Shoulder, scalp, and neck tenderness or tension may also be present.
  • A high-altitude headache is usually intense, throbbing, and located either in the forehead or all over the head.2 It's often aggravated by coughing, straining, or lying flat and may be accompanied by facial flushing, eye redness, and light sensitivity.
  • A headache attributed to airline traveloccurs during the ascent or descent of a plane. This rare headache is severely stabbing in quality and felt over the forehead, behind, or around the eye.3
