In 1982 the "Weavers" had a reunion at Carnegie Hall and Lee Hays who was near death at the time was asked about how sad it was living under Reaganomics. He replied that there was little to do but keep trying and ended with, "I've had kidney stones and just like them, though painful this too will pass." Even the politicians in the good old USA will someday understand there will be no appreciable recovery till they start helping citizens rather than banks and trust funds.<br />As for EEyore his overwhelming optimism often seems forced to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-44916575716083487312011-01-11T04:39:02.136-05:002011-01-11T04:39:02.136-05:00great snow man.

I've also lost days of possible accidental splendor to job related fear and anxiety. More than a dash of Piglet.<br /><br />And personally, I see Rabbit as a secret maniac behind the wheel of a motorcar - like Toad of Toad Hall, but terribly afraid someone he knows will see him terrifying the countryside in his long black Daimler... It's chickens and geese that he openly triumphs over as he scatters them in narrow roads and streets. He keeps the car in a garage in another town, to keep his friends from finding out. Not even Christopher Robin knows. I only found out because I live in that town, and I saw him in the light outside the open bays, before he donned his goggles and canvas head covering, striding to the automobile in his long mustard colored duster. Once the car pulled out and roared away, the figure behind the wheel was unrecognizable, some driving fiend with possession glowing through his eyes and floating out over the horrified countryside in his maniacal laughter...Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-14429870926932382022011-01-10T23:57:33.378-05:002011-01-10T23:57:33.378-05:00I know this all well enough to recommend you post-...I know this all well enough to recommend you post-date some of your own back story, the part that makes having to hunt squirrels for food seem like child's play.
