THANK YOU!
I was looking for a Rockwell that portrayed a woman speaking and couldn't find one. Even his Rosie looks apathetic.
Ladies, do not sit down.
Do not shut up.

Favorite compliment I ever got was from a reader who found my new website ~20 years after she read an early work.

"...You saved my life. I would not have survived high school without [title]...."

And yet Age of Sail pirates would have stolen the boats, sold the drugs, and recruited the crews.

Only a dictator's Navy bombs it all to dust just to call 'the other guys' the monsters.

Jack Rackham is rolling his eyes at us.

Curious fact:

Theodore Geisel (aka Dr Suess) did *not* want *any* of his books to become movies. Ever. He declined studio offers all his life.

Almost as soon as he died, his second wife started selling his stories to Hollywood.

(I did a research paper on him in college.)

Q: Why are the Great Pyramids in Egypt?

A: Because they wouldn't fit in the British Museum.

...Unless, perhaps, the items stolen originally *belonged* to the other country. (That ivory Buddha did not originate in the British Isles.)
However, I cringe that it all likely ended up in the hamds of private collectors, not a museum, no matter the nation.

I see it in restaraunts too.
Breifly.
Before I walk back out to find somewhere else to eat.
