Half masonry,…..
From which the plaster breaks away
Like flesh from the rough bone, is turned
Upon a neck of stones; her eyes
Are lidless windows of smashed glass,
Each star-shaped pupil
Giving upon a vault so vast
How can the head contain it?

WHERE TO SEE HIGHLAND COWS IN SCOTLAND
There’s nothing cuter than a fuzzy cooos And if you’ve never been to Scotland I recommend it highly.
And here is another out of the main stream place that might interest you… you can check out the Billy thr Kid connection too.
The town was established on Honey Creek (1880). But later the residents moved to the Bosque RIver as that also put them close to the railroad.
Today the town has a Wild West themed Main Street. Western music seranades you while you shop in the antique and craft shops—and don’t forget the cowboy art.
A working blacksmith shop that offers demonstrations and classes.
Located downtown, has intriguing exhibits and a gift shop designed like a saloon.
and now ya know—so when ya gonna go?
Billy the Kid Died Here
And we’re back to Florida to got from spine to Cowboys country—
As the Scenic Hwy (Alt 17) heads toward Dundee another citrus hamlet, it passes by the desserted gas stations and other areas of lost commerece that once graced the highway (or at least it did when I drove by) People who drove by in the 1920’s and 30s (not me I AM NOT THAT OLD) got gas from pumps with hand leavers that forced fuel into 10 gallon glass cylinders that sat atop the pump when it could be draned into their car tanks—and NO IT WAS NOT SELF SERVE-—there were attendants who put in gas, checked your oil and water all that stuff–don’t forget the tires and you stayed in the car — or took a potty break and then gave him the cash and moved on down the road. No such thing as credit cards in the 20’s and 30’a.
You’ll know that you’re coming into the town when the hwy makes a sharp turn in order to through the down town—something main roads did back in the day before Interstates and the like —and before downtowns became avoided for the class and cultural lacking shopping centers in the suburbs.
Dundee started in 1911 with the coming of the railroad to this area. Some say that the name came from Dundee, Scotland because it was in the Highlands too (well at least for Floria—this is a porch step for Scotland)
During the 1920’s land boom the Highlands Hotel (now gone) in Dundee was the place for local buyers to stay while touring the area and purching land.
Dundee was also the first new town platted along the railway line when it was built from Haines City down to Sebring and the first depot was erected here. Wm. W. Shepard organized the Florida Highland Company as well as the town of Dundee.
Out of Dundee the road (still south) is just two lanes
Here the road winds around lakes and ridge hills—lots of green. The perceptive are long, and you might even see an ancient motel—ma and pa places where the units are formed around a U. Next town–Waverly and next stop Bok Tower.

Morgan Le Fey has been protrayed as both good and evil depending on the writer and the take on her behavior: I particularly like this from TIme-Life’s The Fall of Camelot:
“In fact, Morgan was loose with the younger knights of Arthur’s court. She had the certain age and knowingness that attracted them, and she drew power from their desire. At first she concealed her activities, but as time went on, she grew careless–or perhaps too arrogant to bother with discretion. She gathered her own circle of gallants, an it became apparent from the quarrels that developed among them and from Urien’s long looks, that the knights affection for her was far from blameless. Here Morgan moved, quiet and smiling, clouds of ill will seemed to gather and factions to form.”
What’s your talke on Ms Le Fey—-Well?

Almost forgot the movie quote for today:
watch the YouTube—you’ll hear the quote and see why I love this silly love story–the most obvious in the picture below—-Hugh Jackman.
A jilted talk-show producer uses her chauvenistic roommate as an example of her ‘animal’ theory about men, but winds up falling in love instead in this romantic comedy. Ashley Judd plays Jane Goodale, a broken-hearted young woman who ghostwrites a column with an ‘animal theory’ about men. Her new roommate Eddie is a perfect example…until their attraction begins to grow!
