Amphan: Heavy rains in India and Bangladesh as cyclone bears down
Many visitors to the UK see London, York, Liverpool and the like and miss the wonder of their towns and villages some with little changes for hundreds of years—i love to take backroad tours—and then there was the couple of weeks I drove about Cornwall, Devon and Wales to name a few which allowed us to see so much—and then my girfriend did similar driving duties after we took a ferry across to Wexford in Ireand—it was a wonderful if at some times crazy adventure.
A center for stag hunting since Norman Times.
This English village is 10 mies south of Porlock in a sheltered valley of the River Exe., with pasture enclosurers above open moorland in what at one time was a Royal Forest, which are now used as sheep walks.
The Center of the village green is used as a football pitch. The village is made up of small Georgian and Victorian Cottages around the green forms a pleasing area.
The Methodist Chapel adjoins the green and has 2 stain glass windows made by Sir Edward Burne-Jones in a workshop in William Mews—last I heard the church is no longer in use–

The Anglican Church of St Mary Magdelene
1/2 mile east of the village on a steep hill. It dates to the mid 15th c–its oldest remaining parts are the west tower and the south aisle. The Nave and chancel were rebuilt in the 19th c. The arcade of clustered pillars with curved capitals divides the south aisle from the nave which is typical of churches of W. Somerset. Has a restored Rood Screen that was originally in the medieval church of St Audries (destroyed in 1858)

408 William Street, Key West, was brought to Key West from Green Turtle Cay in 1847–by Captain RIchard Roberts
One of my favorite things to do in Key West is walk through the neighborhoods and viewing the lovely old homes—-or you can take one of the tours that takes you about —-which ever this is just one example of the houses they have to offer for your viewing
“When a US law specified that salvaged cargo from shipwrecks in American water be brought to the narst domestic port, the wrecking industry in Key West as given a boost. Many wreckers from the Bahamas relocated to the island. They brought their own architectural style with them. The traditional Bahamian house was well suited to a tropical climate and such devices as window louvers and roof hatches for ventilation became part of the Key West architectural vocabulary. The houses were built on limestone pier foundations so the cool air could circulate underneath the floor boards. Down spouts and gutters were used to collect rain water in cisterns. WIde porches and secnd-story balconies were built to provide additional liing space during especailly hot weather.

Marthasville’s Boone grave.
The two graves of Daniel Boone
You all know about the great Frontier hero Daniel Boon–born in a log cabin in Reading, Pa (11/2/1734) who by 1751 was making a living in North Carolina as a hunter and trapper and you know the rest of his history. But for today we’re more interested in the later part of his history—seemes that he lost his land twice (once in Kentucy and then again in Missouri both when the areas becae states and in his old age and a widower he spent his final years at his son’s Missouri home-–he passed away at age 85 and was buried in Marthasville, Miss. at the foot of his wife’s grave as the spot next to her grave was aready occupied. So that’s that right?
Daniel Boone’s grave in Frankfort. Uh-huh.
Seems that in 1845 a group from Kentucky put up a monument to Daniel in the capita city’s cemeery and had Daniel and his wife Rebecca reinterred in Frankfort, Kentucky.
I also found this one pictured for Marthasville
But according to the accounts (though the exact details vary from what you’re reading) the grave diggers messed up and got Rebecca’s body but not Daniels—maybe because he was buried at her feet and not beside her?—
In 1983 a forensic anthropologist studied a plaster cast of the sku and stated it was “a large black man.” But the people in Frankfort questioned his findings, credentials etc.

That movie quote by Redford was in a movie with Jane Fonda but I didn’t know it but there were so many:
Tall Story (1960)
Fun fact about it: Film debut for both Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.
The Chase (1966)
Fun fact about it: Jane Fonda and Robert Redford enjoyed working with each other. They had a lot in common and Redford’s humor helped Fonda relax on set.
Barefoot in the Park (1967)
Fun fact about it: Robert Redford starred in both the Broadway play and this film version. His leading lady on Broadway was Elizabeth Ashley.
The Electric Horseman (1979)
Fun fact about it: One of seven pictures director Sydney Pollack and actor Robert Redford both collaborated on.
Our Souls at Night (2017)
Fun fact about it: Robert Redford and Bruce Dern had previously co-starred in The Great Gatsby (1974).
The Quote is from Electric Horseman where I can still see him in those tight jeans—did any man ever look hotter than Redford movin’ along
When Disney first opened the average visitor disposed trash was 1-1 1/2 pounds each—in 1989 the number of trash produced daily was 90 tons—I don’t even want to know what it is today.
Oh and I love this on Disney’s opening day in 1971—one monorail pilot was grounded because her black panties were visible thru her green jump suit.
It is said that Disney bought most of the land for Disney World for an average of $180/acre. As news finally started leaking acres went for reportedly as high as $80,000 per acre. It is said that Disney’s first choice was St. Louis—but I find that hard to phantom given the down time he would have had with Mo. winters.
And there’s the Town of Celebration in the area—which had its first robbery in 8/19/98 —so what you say—well considering that was 2 years after it was found speaks a lot for the town.
OK we’ve finished the theme parks. I you traveled on I-4 thru orlando you’d pass those parks and lots of other tourist areas….well we’ve done that and Sunday (running a day late will catch up for Tues next week) we will continue on I-4 to US 27 and get into the back bone of Florida—see you then.
