Johnny Guitar, they don't make films like that any more.  And frankly, I'm glad, but those films had plenty of good quotes.

Thank you Marie, this radiogram was worth shaving my legs!

Super Full Moon rising in Greece about 9 pm last night,

but did not stay up to see the eclipse/Blood Moon...

we had all clouds by then :-(

Maybe Super Moon could help?  It just left Paris and is on its way to you Theodore.  Don't miss it!

Ring a round the rosie could be about a lot more than just a plague in London. The possible meanings keep spinning around. I'm worried about the spinal meningitis of that old tractor stirring up the ashes!

OH Dear Theodore, you might be on to something here.  Ring-a-round the Rosie is about the 1790s Great Plague of London.  Do you think the Radiogram is a message about the plague coming again.

I don't think London could deal with an event like that.  They only just got rid of CATS from the West End shows after 35 years.

There use to be a sign outside the theatre that read; "CATS, Now & Forever" , but they took it down now.

Billy broke my heart too. I sympathize with this excellent but confusing radiogram. Thanks for sharing. 

Ring-a-round the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down

Now what?

Yes, I remember that one.  The airplane safety card was the only thing I could find for the support.  Hence the pieces missing.

Ah, my dear InSeine...'hope you won't get jealous now,

but res has already been "christened" with barcodes...and "more" to come to her :-)

Received fr. Katerina Nikoltsou - Seasonal ChocoPo & More

(though nothing of the high quality barcodes of Paris...in Istanbul?  :-)
