Yesterday, I decided that, though still not up to my previous format, I am sharing ehough news to be able to call these “Open Threads.” My understanding of the term “Open Thread” as used on the ‘Net is essentially a reference to sites with rules that comments must be pertinent to the material presented by the blogger. In some cases I believe moderators delete irrlrvent comments. I can’t imagine TomCat doing that and I certainly never would. All news and opinions are welcome here, even fake news, if labeled – and blowback to controversial opinions – just be polite about it.
I kind of hesitated to mention this, but a jewelry company called The Concorde Collection is going out of business in 9 days. Their specialty is rings (for both men and women), and I guarantee they will not turn your finger green. They are all solid sterming silver – if gold in color, they are plated with 14K gold. That attracted me, and so did their original designs. I have several of their designs, but the only one I have that they still have is the “Jeweled Sunflower.” So they are not lying when they say that what they have left is going fast. I’m not worried about them selling out – that will happen. But just in case anyone besides me likes rings, I didn’t want y’all to miss out.
This from Heather Cox Richardson is a day late – but that might just be for the best. Forgetting the meaning of a holiday as soon as it is over is always a danger. This article is an article for every day – every minute, every second.
Steve Schmidt also posted an article worthy of saving, even if it were only for the links he gives tp these seven speeches:
1. What is to the slave is the 4th of July? speech by Frederick Douglass
2. Martin Luther King letter from a Birmingham jail
3. Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address
4. Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address
5. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address
6. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech
7. Martin Luther King’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech
