It would be so easy for this to be a dreary scene. It has all the elements - isolation, weariness, gray skies, solitude - but it isn't dreary. It's just a scene and, in my opinion, a pleasant one. She isn't downtrodden, she's just tired.
I love this. I might get a print when I have an income again. I'm adding it to my very short list of prints I'd like. Depending on how big it is (when I order prints, I try to match original dimensions), I have a couple of spots it could go. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at July 31, 2024 09:33 AM (HnUIn) 22

They continue to cover up the Trump assassination attempt.

We'd get so filthy working with Grandpa in the barn and fields that Grammi would make us take 'bucket baths' in one of the stalls before we could come into the house for supper.
Posted by: Tonypete at July 31, 2024 09:45 AM (6WCwE) ++++ Not unusual, even in the industrial age. The "Pittsburgh Potty" is an example. Common in Pittsburgh (thus the name), it's usually in a basement and consists of a freestanding toilet and a crude showering facility (either a small stall or a big utility sink with flexible faucets for reach), often also doubling as a laundry room. Pittsburgh was *dirty* because of all the coal, and steelworkers got especially filthy. Get home, enter through the basement, clean up and use the can so you don't track coal dust and soot all through the damn house. This is also one possible origin of the "don't wear white after Labor Day" rule. As summer winds down, heating turns up - and in an era where "heat" meant "coal," your whites were unlikely to stay white. So at a common "end of summer" point, just put your whites away.

So any discrepancies between human observation and Scripture just get swept under the rug and ignored? Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at July 31, 2024 09:26 AM (v6JzV) ———- The biggest issue IMO is that we’ve been surveying the night sky for decades and astronomers see super nova explosions in other galaxies, the light of which would take millions of years to arrive to Earth. But in a universe only 6000 years old that means the super nova never happened, rather God created the light to mimic an explosion. I can’t see that as anything other than straight up deception, which goes against God’s character. So either most of astronomical science (and a good bit of physics) is complete bunk or the interpretation that God created the universe 6000 years ago is bunk.

The Hebrew word for day is "Yom". There is no know usage of that word in the Bible that does not mean a 24 hour period.
If there is, please cite chapter/verse so I can better understand. Posted by: Outside of Life at July 31, 2024 10:08 AM (89Sog) It's all over the bible. It can mean day, half day (the light part), half day (the dark part), and I think year. Probably more than that, but I am not a biblical scholar.

Now I'm pondering the concept of someone being banned here but still attending a MoMe. I'm thinking there some version of MIGS (Moron In Good Standing) status on everyone's permanent record.

Posted by: Nick in Tallahassee at July 31, 2024 10:26 AM (7PziG) The rumor is- Taylor Swift is currently a new song about her break-up with Joe Biden. At first, she was fascinated with his gentle sexy hair-sniffing ways and his musky, manly odor of feces leaking from his Depends. Biden's angry outbursts and weird whispering spoke to her very soul. But....well, now the thrill is gone. And Kamala? Taylor just doesn't swing that way. No, she wants a new man. One that's strong and brave and keeps his promises.

Oh, she's right. I've known she's right for a while.
My sentences gain complexity and lose focus the longer they go on. I adopted the habit decades ago because I thought that's what esteemed writers do. It's the Joyce influence. I cut things down on my own now,...when I notice. Posted by: TheJamesMadison -------- I used to edit my obtuse sentences multiple times before submission to journals. I learned long ago to avoid writer's block to simply put material on the page and then edit the heck out of it. Solves one problem but introduces others. Started posting here simply to clarify my thoughts into prose way back when. That was before the cut and paste troll struck and AOS instituted a limit. That is forcing me to be more succinct, but I often butcher grammar rules when trying to edit for the gray box length. And so it goes. Posted by: whig at July 31, 2024 10:39 AM (qdbNv) 379
@354 I can't think of another movie where I liked the remake as well as the original. True Grit is the only one.

445 Kipling is the best writer in history imho. Anyone would do well trying to follow his style.
Posted by: polynikes at July 31, 2024 10:46 AM (B1dzx) Joseph Conrad has entered the discussion. Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at July 31, 2024 10:52 AM (d9fT1) Can’t go wrong with either of those… Posted by: tubal at July 31, 2024 10:54 AM (PCK5/) 457

Long complex sentences can work very well, buuuut there needs to be a reason for their length and complexity.
Short punchy sentences can work. But, for me a single reading rhythm is a bore. I like to mix them up. And use them to help delineate characters. Posted by: naturalfake ======= Writing depends on the purpose and audience. I always write prose as any fiction that I would write would probably be an inferior version of Heinlein's competent man in his stories. Writing fiction depends on being able to get into other people's heads. I find that difficult. Posted by: whig at July 31, 2024 10:56 AM (qdbNv) 467

The #Resistence jams up the bureaucracy and creates more chaos and leaks. The government is more engaged in expelling the alien particle (Trump) than running its affairs.

Kipling is one of the best poets in the English language. Milton is first, followed by Shakespeare. Kipling is third.

Something that occurred to me this morning: someone a few months back, possibly Mark Steyn, noted that the globalists appear to have a weird fetish for installing someone of dot-Indian heritage as President/Prime Minister/whatever to cement their final humiliation of a country. It's happened all over the UK already. I think Nikki Haley was intended to be that person here, but since that didn't work out they now have Plan B From Cackletron.

Setting aside the Ukraine corruption issues, it's been a real eye opener seeing just how badly the Russian military has been damaged by the ongoing corruption and other mismanagement. I'm not certain you COULD root it out. Add to this that Ukraine is motivated to defend their country and Ivan doesn't even want to be there and you get what is being seen daily.
