The women were well dressed and the children were "boggle eyed." Whatever that means. Anyhow, life was pretty easy by 19th Century standards.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198398392037129200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-84979634138966341662008-12-09T19:26:00.000-08:002008-12-09T19:26:00.000-08:00Why are these children running around in the woods...Why are these children running around in the woods all summer? Shouldn't they be down on their hands and knees pulling weeds or some such activity helping their family to feed themselves? As I recall that is what most of the children did when I called on the farmers in Sherwood. Oh, yes there would be time to lollygag out on the porch of the store, waiting for the post to come, but still, these fresh young ones need to work!--John BrownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-15499575292001258062008-12-08T16:05:00.000-08:002008-12-08T16:05:00.000-08:00There will have to be a new Progressive Movement a...There will have to be a new Progressive Movement at the grass roots level. I other words, if it stinks in your backyard, you will have to clean it up!!No gas? Try walking. Not enough food? Grow your own.

I don't think so, but people seriously believed it. <BR/><BR/>In my time, I remember seeing the Milky Way at night. Nothing on the earth was as dazzling as the Milky Way. I knew from books that I was looking at a giant, big, flat platter of stars, and so I almost lost my balance because I felt I wasn't standing up right on this big platter thing! <BR/><BR/>And so kids: What are you going to do about all the noise pollution and the light pollution my generation has caused? In addition to the air pollution we talk so much about. Beats me. It's your turn. It's a problem for you to solve when you grow a little older.JayCeeSmockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775540559297619253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-83709956913026045992008-12-07T17:35:00.000-08:002008-12-07T17:35:00.000-08:00I was Es-merized by you just as much a the kids we...I was Es-merized by you just as much a the kids were.JayCeeSmockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775540559297619253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11220431.post-90418422532560297392008-12-07T15:42:00.000-08:002008-12-07T15:42:00.000-08:00I waved at all the kids and did my Moooves to the ...I waved at all the kids and did my Moooves to the music of the SHS marching band.
