For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Roy Rogers and Duck Run Portsmouth OH

You are welcome, Pat and that is interesting. Coach Smokey Gibson also told me that Roy Roger’s Uncle Ono Sly taught him to fish in the Ohio river. Roy and Dale adopted and raised several youngsters of multural ethnicity. Great Christian parents!

Thanks for the info about Roy Rogers, Sam. I was told years ago by my family that my Uncle Roy ran around with Leonard when they were young kids. My Uncle lived and grew up in the area along with my Mom and family. Whether this is the gospel I don't know...can't prove it. Uncle Roy was killed in a car wreck in 1957 or 1958 at the age of 36. Just thought you would be interested in this little tidbit.

Trigger sold along with other Roy Roger''s earthly treasures

How lucky we Portsmouthites are!

Roy was raised on duck Run on Portsmouth's West side, not far from Branch Rickey's home.  Reportedly, some neighbors of his rumored that that Leonard Sly Roy Rogers was his stage name) would never amount to anything because he only sat on his front porch and strummed that guitar all of the time.  He amounted to one of God's very greatest human beings and Christians.  Dale Evans also became a great mother and Christian.

Portsmouth Ohio is my home town and the Cultural Center of our -Portsmouthites- Universe.  
THE END OF AN ERA.......

A black and white photograph of Gene Autry with a touching
inscription from Gene to Roy sold for $17,500.

people that played in Roy 's movies sold for $11,875.

Dale's horse, Buttermilk (whose history is very interesting) sold below
the presale estimate for $25,000. (EST. 30-40 K).

Bullet sold for $35,000 (EST. 10-15 K). He was their real pet.

$104,500.

One of many pairs of Roy 's boots sold for $21,250.

Trigger sold for $266,500.

Do you remember the 1938 movie The Adventures of Robinhood,
With Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland? Olivia rode Trigger
in that movie.

Trigger was bred on a farm co-owned by Bing Crosby. Roy bought
Trigger on a time payment plan for $2,500. Roy and Trigger made
188 movies together. Trigger even out did Bob Hope by winning an
Oscar in the movie Son of Paleface in 1953.

It is extremely sad to see this era lost forever. Despite the fact that
Gene and Roy 's movies, as well as those of other great characters,
can be bought or rented for viewing, today's kids would rather spend
their time playing video games.
Today it takes a very special pair of parents to raise their kids with
the right values and morals. These were the great heroes of our
childhood, and they did teach us right from wrong, and how to have
and show respect for each other and the animals that share this earth.

You and I were born at the right time. We were able to grow up with
these great people even if we never met them. In their own way they
taught us patriotism and honor, we learned that lying and cheating
were bad, and sex wasn't as important as love.
We learned how to suffer through disappointment and failure and
work through it. Our lives were drug-free.

So it's good-bye to Roy and Dale, Gene and Hoppy, The Lone Ranger
and Tonto.
Farewell to Sky King and Superman and Sgt. Friday.
Thanks to Capt. Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers and Capt. Noah and all those
people whose lives touched ours, and made them better.

It was a great ride through childhood.

HAPPY TRAILS, MY FRIENDS...

Best dog joke ever ... Thanks M.R.!


Subject: : Best Dog Joke Ever...
Best Dog Joke Ever...

Nancy Pelosi called Harry Reid into her office
one day and said, "Harry, I have a plan to win back
Middle America in 2012!"

"Great Nancy , but how?" asked Harry.

"We'll get some cheesy clothes and shoes, like most
Middle Class Americans wear, then stop at the pound and
pick up a Labrador Retriever.

Then, we'll go to a nice old country bar in Montana
and show them how much admiration and respect
we have for the hard working people living there."

So they did, and found just the place they were looking for in Bozeman, Montana.

With the dog in tow, they walked inside and stepped up to the bar.

The Bartender took a step back and said, Hey! Aren't you Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi?"

"Yes we are!" said Nancy, "And what a lovely town you have here.
We were passing through and Harry suggested we stop and take
in some local color."

They ordered a round of bourbon for the whole bar, and started chatting up a storm with anyone who would listen.
A few minutes later, a grizzled old rancher came in,
walked up to the Labrador, lifted up its tail, looked
underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked out.

A few moments later, in came another old rancher.
He walked up to the dog, lifted up its tail, looked
underneath, scratched his head and left the bar.
For the next hour, another dozen ranchers came in,
lifted the dog's tail, and left shaking their heads.

Finally, Nancy asked, "Why did all those old ranchers come in
and look under the dog's tail? Is it some sort of custom?"

"Lord no," said the bartender. "Someone's out there running around town,
claiming there's a Labrador Retriever in here with two assholes."

Esperanto- Columbus Dispatch Weekender 5-3-2012


Felia naskitago Esperanto creator Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof

Tuesday December 15, 2009 12:16 PM

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Pomoj and pantalono - Esperanto for apples and trousers - went on sale in some Warsaw shops Tuesday as Europe marked 150 years since the birth of the creator of the international language.
Dr. Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, a Jewish eye doctor born in the Polish city of Bialystok, then part of the Russian Empire, hoped that a universal language could bring understanding and harmony to the world.
Though Esperanto never caught on as a real lingua franca, it continues to have its faithful followers across the globe.
"I believe Zamenhof's idea was very right and I wanted to take part in this action to honor him," said Joanna Klimas, the owner of a clothing shop in Warsaw's former Jewish district that added tags with Esperanto names to her wares.
On display in the shop window - a red pelto (coat), bluso and pantalono (blouse and slacks) and edziniga robo (wedding dress).
Two nearby food stores, on a street named for Zamenhof, labeled their edibles with their Esperanto names - fumiga sinko (smoked ham), maleagra mamo (turkey breast), pomoj (apples) and pano (bread).
Surprised customers proceeded with their orders in Polish.
Bialystok, where Zamenhof was born on Dec. 15, 1859, also held observances, playing back footage from an Esperanto convention that took place there this year.
Other nations across Europe, where Esperanto has a small but faithful following, are also honoring Zamenhof.
Croatia's association of some 500 members will mark Zamenhof's birthday next week with a new, comprehensive Croatian-Esperanto dictionary and a play performed in Esperanto by a drama groups, said Spomenka Stimec, the association's secretary general, who writes novels in Esperanto and teaches the language across the globe.
In France on Monday, the Le Monde daily ran a full-page ad by the European Esperanto Union under the breathless headline, "Europe is suffering under the domination of the Anglo-American language."
The tabloid-style ad made a pitch for Esperanto, noting that it can be "learned 10 times faster than English and has no irregularities or complications."
The search engine Google also celebrated Zamenhof on Tuesday, with the site in many European countries replacing the "L" in its name with Esperato's green and white flag.
