IF ...lonely

Paul tells us that originally 'Father McKenzie' was 'Father McCartney'... in order to avoid association with his father he pulled McKenzie out of the phone book. ~~He didn't want people to "think it was about my dad sitting knitting his socks. Dad's a happy lad."
This lonely priest is now a counterpart to my Eleanor Rigby from two weeks ago.

Phthalo Moons ~sturgeon

STURGEON MOON


The August full moon is known as the sturgeon moon. Come the summer something fishy is certain to be going on... at this time sturgeon are most easily caught, presumably because they are swimming all in a roe.

Coffee Mugs

Indecision is an awful thing, and yet I find that proceeding in an incorrect direction is preferable to going nowhere. Decisive wrong directions often end up surprisingly accurate ~once the litany of corrections have been completed.

IF ...carry

If Bing Crosby could do anything, Bing Crosby could carry a tune. Just in case, Bing Crosby also carried a pipe. What Bing Crosby carried in his pipe is another matter altogether...

IF ...lost

There was a real Eleanor Rigby born in 1895, lived in Liverpool, and died at age 44, ~~any real information about her is lost to posterity, but her namesake became world renowned a quarter of a century later as one of the most famous of our "lost & lonelies".

IF ...suspend

Benito Mussolini worked hard as dictator of Italy to have his totalitarian regime live on for decades only to find his power suspended -being out voted in 1943. With WWII concluding Il Duce was captured attempting to escape to Germany, summarily executed and then hung upside down at an Esso gas station in Milan for all to see.
what fell out of his pockets at the time remains a mystery to this day...

IF ...refresh

Before Alfred Peet opened his first coffee shop in 1966, what Americans drank as coffee was likened to dishwater or worse... Mr. Peet introduced the U.S. to gourmet coffee, dark roasts, and even taught Starbuck's how to make their brew.
Peetniks across the nation have never looked back!
