Pigs and Chickens... Suess... A Sunny October Day...
Interesting pic, if you think about it - with the big pig front and center -
and the chickens in the background...
An anology for life?
Dr. Suess might think so, but he would still try to make the chickens happy : )
The trees are in full color (some having lost leaves) right now.
Enjoy!

"It's A Hard Rain's Gonna' Fall" and "Masters of War"... Dylan... NPR "First Listen"... Commentary
[ "First Listen... 'It's A Hard Rains Gonna' Fall'"; Bob Dylan; NPR; 10/10/10; http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=130356302&m=130358866 ]
I heard this song a while back - and I find it striking in a number of ways. Certainly not a cheery tune, I think it is applicable to our current social, economical and political situation. Dylan was a master of protest music and he (in my opinion) tapped into a lot of vieled truths. Did this help his career or hurt it? I wonder...
I try to focus on the beautiful, positive and entertaining as of late - but every now and then you will get a post that speaks to the dark side, the worried side, the sad side of my heart...
Where is this country that I love headed? Why can't we seem to get on a truly positive track? Have most of us been trained - one way or another - to eat our own toes?
I spent some time last night with some folks that have some pretty strong good values... which made me realize how little time I do spend around such folks...
Old school? Yes. Do I agree with all of thier opinions? No. But folks that truly "give a damn" about those so often mouthed "family values," the state of our military and veterans, the state of our country, the challenges facing the next generation ........ ?
Absolutely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following Dylan tune [There are others on the NPR site] is one that I had never heard before...
["First Listen..."'Masters of War'"; Bob Dylan; NPR; http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=130356302&m=130358405]
Pretty angry... pretty apropro?
Don't get me wrong.
I have immense respect for those that have served in our military - and for our military veterans [which includes 2 of my brothers, other relatives and a brother-in-law] --- and some wars have probably [those truly entered into for the purpose of self defense] been necessary.
I wonder...
I don't know.
But I do believe there has to be [for everyone in this country and in this world...] a better way!!!!!
I have a poem that my oldest brother wrote whilst in Korea [US Army] that I will [if I get his permission] post in the near future. Via that mechanism, I can take you straight to the heart [One heart out of how many? / His best friend (a cousin) did not make it back from Vietnam...] of the storm.

Awesome Gymnastics Dance Number by a Little Girl... You Tube Video
["This Little Girl is Ridiculous"; As posted on You Tube by "NothingForX"; March 5, 2008; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbolQkohkfA&feature=player_embedded ]
I totally disagree with the given title of this video - although I'm also conflicted about having little girls perform in dance numbers like this...
Whatever the case (I surely don't control the universe...) - this girl is talented. Holy cow!!!!!
