Pearl helps with decorations. We may have gone a little heavy on the tinsel trees, but that is aok! At the end, Red Creech, bigfoot totem and the invisible man do a little tiny tree trimming on the side table.

Mrs got her hairs cut at Misfit Beauty Club, looks great as a darker bob.
Roanoke Morning
[Verse 1]
Sun coming up over Mill Mountain
Coffee steam curling in the cold
Blue Ridge lines like an old hymn
Folded in the valley’s hold
Kids on bikes down Crystal Spring
Church bells drifting soft and slow
Every day a simple blessing
Life here in Roanoke
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the market to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke
[Verse 2]
Farmer’s stand on Saturday
Tomatoes piled in paper trays
Old men laughing under awnings
Telling tales of better days
Freight train hum on Jefferson
Thunder on the distant stones
Even when I dream of leaving
These mountains call me home
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the greenway to the back roads
Hear the heart of people grow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ll roam
Chase some skyline
Taste a different kind of smoke (woah)
But I’ll keep a map of Star City
Folded right beside my hope
[Chorus]
This is my town
My little corner
Brick and river
Field and oak
Every hill holds one more story
Every porch light feels like home
From the sunrise on the ridge tops
To the soft new-fallen snow
I am who I am because
I’m living life in Roanoke (oh Roanoke)
“The Hangman” from 1964 based on the poem by Maurice Ogden. Film made by Les Goldman and Paul Julian. “The 1964 animated short film Hangman, directed by Paul Julian and Les Goldman, is a 16.4K cautionary tale about apathy and complicity, based on Maurice Ogden’s 1951 poem. It depicts a mysterious figure erecting a gallows in a town square, systematically executing citizens while the fearful populace: remains silent, only for the narrator to realize he is next.”

@pearlsquirrel looks to be a huge fan of both @taskmaster and @rosematafeo . I don’t blame her for either.

“I was like you once, long time ago. I believed in the dignity of man. Decency. Humanity. But I was lucky. I found out the truth early, boy. And what is the truth, Stark? It’s all very simple. There’s no such thing as the dignity of man. Man is a base, pathetic and vulgar animal.”
“Whatsa mattah allee time talkee talk bear business? Me no savvee bear business. You no like this Gloddam show, you go somewhere else.”

Day 20,369
A little squirrel is enjoying a fresh breakfast of squash up the road from our place. He has a ways to go before finishing, but I will wager that a solid effort will be put in. We saw him after we hit the farmers market early today and grabbed some onion dill bread from @blacksburgbagels, as well as lettuce, tomato sauce, and five-cheese ravioli. We are going to have a tasty little meal sometime soon. #squirrel #backyardzoo #pumpkin #roanokeva https://www.instagram.com/p/DCJ8s2FRk8v/?igsh=MXcyMHJ0ZXFpMjUweA==

“As we say in Germany, if there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis.” – Dr. Jens Foell
I’m not sharing a table with anyone like that. There are too many good people in the world to put up with those guys.
ALWAYS PUNCH NAZIS.
