Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
You really should head on over to American Digest and read up on Gerard’s conversation with the old guy named Frank.
It’s a lesson for us all about living in our designated segments, however long they may be, in the time stream…with a subtle seasoning involving good old fashioned humility. Having lived in that mini-tropolis for a few years myself, I was fully on board with Gerard’s opening quips about “the city thought it needed such a museum in order to qualify as a first-rate city…There’s a lot of that kind of stuff in this town.” That resonated with me, since I got that impression back in my Seattle days. Distinctly.
Now, I have the distinct impression I was sort of led along down a primrose path for the twist ending, to sort of help the lesson settle in a bit better. It’s quite a twist. It might be lost on most, save for those who have something of a natural interest in photography, genealogy, keepers of diaries…and the like. To those who appreciate such things, this goes into the must-not-miss file. Do yourself a favor, and make the time to read from top to bottom.
