Alright I took my pinstriping off a little bit ago but the is a horrible residue from where it was. It is almost like it is still on there that is how well you can see the adhesive. I am just wondering if there is a good way to remove this with ot damaging my paint?
Rubbing alcohol, road tar and oil remover (need to wash off soon after using), eraser wheel on a buffer, there are several products out there you can use to get the residue off, just depends on how much there is and how much money and time you are willing to spend. The rubbing alcohol is the cheapest way, but also the slowest, but if you only have small sections then it is a good method, tar remover may be costly (Ive never had to pay for it, I just use 3m stuff at work) works faster than rubbing alcohol, but is time consuming if you have a lot of area to cover and you have to wash it off soon after using to keep it from esting into the paint, waxing afterwards wouldnt hurt either, the eraser wheel is the fastest method if you have a drill or buffer that will accept the attatchment, but the attatchment may be costly ($15-20 depending on size and where you get it) but it will get you finished the fastest and you will have it for the next time around, but if you move too slow then you can burn the paint so you need to keep moving, again waxing afterwards wouldnt hurt.
For adhesive residue I always use WD-40 to soften it up so that it wipes right off. It won't hurt the paint at all and works fairly quick.
I like to use Stoner Tarminator, then follow up with a clay bar, then follow that up with some polish, and then finally a top coat of some kind such as wax/sealant.
I took the molding off my truck this week and I used an old gift card with WD-40 to scrape all the goop off, rinsed all of it off, and then used 3M rubbing compound.
I like using Goo Gone. It has always worked great.
ALright with any of these products do i just put it directly on to my truck or would i put it on a rag and scrub it on to it?

Singing Or Playing An Instrument Improves Brain Function, Offsets Rich Kid/Poor Kid Academic Achievement Gap
Aug 8, 2014 10:19 AM By Susan Scutti
Disadvantaged children who learn to sing or to play a musical instrument show gains in their mental function and in turn they are able to better develop their reading and language skills. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock.
Past studies have shown differences in the brains of children raised in poor environments that impact and may even limit their ability to learn. How, then, do you narrow the academic achievement gap between kids with more advantages, including highly nutritious diets, and kids with less advantages? New research involving hundreds of students in Chicago and Los Angeles public schools finds disadvantaged children who learn to sing or to play a musical instrument show not only improved neural function but also enhanced learning abilities over time. "While more affluent students do better in school than children from lower income backgrounds, we are finding that musical training can alter the nervous system to create a better learner and help offset this academic gap," says Dr. Nina Kraus, a neurobiologist at Northwestern University and presenter of the research at the American Psychological Association's 122nd Annual Convention.
Up until now, research on the impact of musical training has been primarily conducted on middle- to upper-income students participating in private music lessons. For this study, though, the team of researchers drew on a different pool of students: younger children learning music at the Harmony Project in Los Angeles and teens from lower economic backgrounds who participated in either band or choir at three public high schools in Chicago. These musically engaged children were compared to their peers from similar backgrounds. In the case of the Chicago schools, the students in the non-musical comparison group were enrolled in Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps classes, teaching character education, achievement, wellness, leadership, and diversity.
At the start of the study, all participants had comparable reading ability and IQs, the research team found. To begin, the team recorded the children's brain waves as they listened to a repeated syllable against soft background sounds meant to replicate a typical, busy environment, such as a classroom or a playground. Then, the researchers repeated these measures after one year and again at the two-year mark. Surprisingly, they discovered music students' neural responses had strengthened while the JROTC students' responses had remained the same. Apparently, the musical training enhances the way children's nervous systems process sounds in a busy environment and this improvement appears to boost memory and attention spans. In turn, kids seem to focus better in the classroom and develop their communication skills.
"We're spending millions of dollars on drugs to help kids focus and here we have a non-pharmacologic intervention that thousands of disadvantaged kids devote themselves to in their non-school hours — that works," says Dr. Margaret Martin, co-researcher of this study and co-presenter at the convention. Interestingly, the differences in the music students' brain waves occurred after two years but not at one year. For this reason, these programs cannot be used as quick fixes, yet even after the lessons stop, Kraus explained, the brain still reaps benefits. In a separate study, her team surveyed college students and found those with more than five years of musical training in elementary or high school had improved neural responses to sound when compared to college students who had not been trained in music.


Age is the least of my concerns (let's not get started on the gray hairs though… that's worse than the ticking time bomb of age). HOWEVER.
Since I was like 20 I've been thinking that I want to learn to play an instrument. Then Uni came in the way (money and time-wise) and then… I'm great at procrastinating. So. Still no better at playing any sort of instrument, I saw the guys of Árstíðir again at Airwaves (I say again since this is the band I have seen most times in total and they will probably get a ranting post at some point about how lovely they are and how I get a total crush on all of them every concert. But anyway.) and this thought popped up again.
There's no such thing as too old. My grandfather used to learn new things every year until he passed away at 84.
Pretty sure it's not an age thing, motivation is tricky tho I find.


Mount Wutai is not for casual tourists who are willing to spend just a few hours there before rushing to the next county for more photo opportunities.
The mountain, named for its palm-like shape, covers some 600 square kilometers. I wonder if any traveler has scaled all five of the peaks, the tallest being the North Terrace at 3,061m. They are all quite flat at the top, but getting up there may force you to go through several seasons, and you may end up face to face with remnants of glaciers.
Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) made it his goal, but he had to settle for the Blue Snail Peak, which has the height of a 130-story building. It is a temple that assembles Buddhas from all five peaks, so he could simulate the experience by trekking up the 1,080 steps. Nowadays tourists do not even need to walk. A cable car ride will do the trick.
Mount Wutai is a sanctuary for Buddhists. At its height in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), there were as many as 360 temples. Now only 60 remain, covering an area of 300 sq kms. If you want to pray and meditate at each of them, it will take you weeks. Fortunately, they have a dummy version for everything.
I rushed through four - in one morning. My prayer sessions lasted about 15 seconds each, and I didn't burn any incense.
My parents would kill me if they know I wasted such a golden opportunity. They may not have crawled up the stairs like some of the more pious pilgrims, but they would surely have spent hours in each compound. Yes, a temple here is not a single building, but multiple buildings with walls and an imposing gate.
The most ubiquitous god at Wutai is Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of wisdom. This explains the throng of college-bound students and their parents, who implore him for higher scores. In this post-national entrance exam season, they have come back to express their gratitude because their erstwhile prayers have been answered.
I don't know the etiquette for those who failed. Should they come back to say "Thank you for nothing" or should they stay at home and mope? Surely, you should not hold grievances against a god.
The funniest scene is that of a wall painted with a giant fo, the Chinese word for Buddha. The last stroke happens to go all the way down and I noticed many youths clinging to it and rubbing it so much it has lost its color. It turned out that they were hanging on to the Buddha's foot, a metaphor for last-minute cramming.
On the contrary, the pilgrims personified patience. Some had journeyed from Tibet. Wutai is the place where Tibetan Buddhism and Han Buddhism coexist in harmony. Some even came from other Asian countries.
The best-known symbol of Mount Wutai is the white pagoda, the kind you see everywhere in Tibet. The 56.4-m structure dates back to 1302, when a Nepalese monk used small stones to erect it. Its base is encircled with prayer wheels. There is a pavilion nearby with one big wheel. My guide instructed me to "go around the big one three times and the small one once". Off I went and finished the holy task.
On my way out I found, to my dismay, that I had made a mistake. What he meant by "big wheel" was the bigger structure, not the size of the wheels. I had done the opposite. How was I going to make amends?
There is a compound attached to Tayuan Temple, where the white pagoda sits. It's called "the residence Mao Zedong passed by". On April 9, 1948, the Chairman and his entourage slept here for one night. You don't believe it? There is a blurry photo blown up for all to witness. In the room recreated for its authenticity, there is a prayer cushion in front of his statue.

A new month means new web specials. I've got a few great picks for the nicer weather this month! All Logboat Brewing 6 packs of 12oz cans are $7.99 all of April! Logboat brings a good spread to the table, whether you like hops, roasty malts, or a light drinkin' beer! In the sour department, we've got Crooked Stave Sour Rose on special again for $10.99 per 6 pack. This sour is aged on fruit skins and is a popular choice going into the warmer months. Stillwater Insetto is a sour aged on Italian Plums. 4pk's of 12oz cans are on special for $9.99. Last, Sierra Nevada 12 packs are $13.99, both cans and bottles. This ia regular ad item for Mike's, but this is the first time it's included their new 12 pack cans of Hazy Little Thing. This 6.7% ABV hazy IPA is a new year round offering from Sierra Nevada.
Tomorrow is a delivery day from our friends in Craft Republic and Shelton Brothers. We'll have three new offerings from White Rooster Brewing out of Illinois. We are only going to be receiving a little bit every few months, and the feedback on the last delivery's beers has been great. We'll also have a new tropical berliner weisse from Off Color Brewing called Spots. This brew comes packed with passionfruit and grapefruit peel. We'll also be receiving a collab between Crooked Stave and Belgium's De La Senne. Sunnyside of Bruxelles is a sour red ale aged in oak. This a great pair of breweries to collab on a sour!
On a non-beer note, but because I order them through companies that primarily distribute beer: last week's deliveries included a few fun cocktail mixers and non-alcoholic beverages. Check out Heirloom's just launched line of cocktail shrubs. These are handmade in STL and are a great addition to your bar's arsenal. Queen City Hemp just launched 4 flavors of CBD-infused seltzer water (I highly recommend the passionfruit!) And we've also picked up a few more flavors of cold brew from KC's own Roasterie.
Enjoy the nice weather, and enjoy it with friends and good beers! Cheers!


The Great Oklahoma Classic for October 2011 is an outstanding 1936 Chevrolet pickup Street Rod that belongs to Steve Green of Edmond Oklahoma. We saw Steve and his 36 at the Perkins Car Show and again at the Stillwater Downtown Car Show and decided others would enjoy this nice little Street Rod.
Steve has owned the pickup for five years. In that time frame he has replaced cross members, the gas tank, the electrical wiring and engine parts. Steve has also replaced all the chrome on the Chevrolet which helps make this classic pickup a real eye catcher at the area shows.
Steve found a set of Chevrolet Rally Wheels that truly look great on the old Chevy. Mount to the rally wheels are a set of Firestone 145R15 tires, which makes for just the right stance for the 1936.
The spare tire is mounted on a matching rally wheel which is mounted on the passenger side front finder. The spare tire mounting has been chrome to enhance the looks.
The interior of this classic Chevrolet is pleated white with tan carpet. Of course all gages have been updated to that classic Street Rod look. Don't forget that GPS unit, this is a driver!
The engine is a classic 1968 Chevrolet 327 V8 producing 220 horsepower which is matched to a 350 Turbo transmission. As you can see the engine bay is clean and detailed in the true Street Rod manner.
The bed has been refinished with hand crafted wood and polished stainless steel strips. Mounted in the bed is a polished diamond plate tool box with a traditional Chevy Bowtie mounted to the box.
This 1936 Chevrolet has been a Street Rod for over twenty five years. The paint and interior are both over twenty years old, but still have that new appearance.
Steve enjoys driving this great little Street Rod to area car shows in Oklahoma and Texas. Steve says he never trailers the 36 and puts on over 2500 miles each car show season.
The Cimarron Starlite Cruisers sincerely appreciate Steve Green sharing his eye catching 1936 Chevrolet Pickup as this month's Great Oklahoma Classic.

Why Do People Migrate? Facts
European University Institute (EUI)
0:17Skip to 0 minutes and 17 secondsWithin the region, there used to be two main migration systems. One that centres around Venezuela and Columbia, and the other one that centers around Argentina. But over the last 15, 20 years or so, most people migrate now to Argentina, Brazil, and Chile. These are the main countries of immigration within the region. And the countries that people go from includes Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador. More generally, what I'd like to point out is that migration is not new, Latin America is a region of immigration. But there is significant nervousness around irregular migration and around regional migration. And the main reason for this is that regional migration is more difficult to control than cross-regional migration.
1:12Skip to 1 minute and 12 secondsAnd so policymakers are much more nervous about regional migration.
1:22Skip to 1 minute and 22 secondsSo the interesting thing is that in Latin America, women have always played a really important role in migration. And there have always been more women migrating than men in internal migration. So this is when people used to move from the countryside to the city. There have always been more women than men migrating. And this is because there's always been more work for women in cities. For example, when they found jobs as domestic workers. But regional migration has not always followed pattern. So for some countries, there was a greater participation of women in the migrations. For example, Peruvian women. They've always being over-represented in their migration, the region migration streams. But for Bolivian women, this hasn't always been the case.
2:11Skip to 2 minutes and 11 secondsBut overall, for the region, today women are about 52.5% of all regional migrants, which is one of the highest rates in the world. So within regional migrations, women often find work as domestic workers, as elderly carers, and child minders. This is particularly the case in Brazil, Argentina, Chile as well. They find jobs in the service sector in Chile. For example, working in restaurants as well. And in Argentina and Brazil, women also find work in the garment sector, which has very high levels of exploitation, very long working days, and difficulties of making sure that migrants and migrant women are able to protect their rights. And there's also migration for sex work.
3:17Skip to 3 minutes and 17 secondsI think there have been some significant improvements in terms of migration policy over the last 10, 15 years within the region. So one of the trading blocs within Latin America is called Mercosur, which is a trading bloc which includes Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Bolivia is an associative member. And there are significant kinds of free movement within this Mercosur agreement. So there is a free residency area for member states, including Bolivia and Chile. So this means that anyone who is a citizen of one of these countries has the right to go into another country and automatically apply for a temporary residency permit for two years, which can then be transformed into permanent residency.
4:08Skip to 4 minutes and 8 secondsSo these are very important improvements, but there also continues to be a number of significant challenges for irregular migrants in the region, which includes women, obviously. And in my own experience of researching Bolivians and Argentina, I would say the most important one is the issue of housing. And many migrants live in appalling housing conditions, which affects women, in particular, because they tend to spend more of their time at home and also carry out a large part of their caring responsibilities at home. But very few migratory organisations are prepared to lobby the government on the housing issue because it is very contentious.
4:47Skip to 4 minutes and 47 secondsThe issue of trafficking and child labour also is going to become more important, particularly as you see a worsening of the economic situation of many of these countries. And with the new government, with a new in change in government in Argentina, it will be imperative to maintain the rights that have been gained so far for migrants and build on what has already been achieved.

College Hoops – Wildcats Shake Off Rust in 101-64 Exhibition Win vs. LMU – SPORTS VIEW AMERICA – Your home for ALL Sports!!!
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Behind a disruptive full-court defensive effort that allowed the Wildcats to force 31 turnovers and score 41 points off those miscues, the University of Kentucky women's basketball team overpowered Lincoln Memorial 101-64 in its lone exhibition of the season Friday inside historic Memorial Coliseum.
The Wildcats will start the season officially Wednesday when they play host to Alabama State at 7 p.m. ET inside Memorial Coliseum. The game will be streamed on SEC Network+ with Christi Thomas and Jeff Piecoro on the call. Darren Headrick will have the call on the UK Sports Network on 630 WLAP.
Single-game tickets are $10 (all ages) in reserved seating areas, while general admission tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children (ages 6-18) and seniors (age 65+). Children ages five and under do not require a ticket in general admission areas. Purchasing season tickets offers the best option and price savings for fans. New season ticket purchases are available in upper-level reserved chairbacks (sections AA-JJ), lower-level reserved bleachers (sections R-Z) or general admission bleachers (sections RR-ZZ) for $69 per ticket. Lower-level reserved chairbacks (A-J) sections are sold out again this season.
Kentucky used a strong effort on both ends of the court to earn the victory on Friday shooting 48.8 percent from the field on 41-of-84 shooting while LMU shot 42.4 percent and was forced into 31 turnovers. The Wildcats limited their miscues with just seven turnovers and allowed just five points off those turnovers.
True freshman Blair Green led Kentucky in scoring going 8-of-17 from the field for 17 points. The native of Harlan County, Ky., added four rebounds, one assists, one steal and one block. Fellow freshman Rhyne Howard scored 15 points with five assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks.
Five Wildcats scored in double figures in total, including 16 points from sophomore Tatyana Wyatt, who went 6-of-10 from the field with nine rebounds – eight offensive – and three blocks. Senior guard Taylor Murray had 14 points and a team-best six assists, while fellow senior guard Maci Morris had 11 points, five rebounds and four assists.
UK controlled every aspect of the game Friday, outscoring LMU in points in the paint 52-22, points off turnovers 41-5, second-chance points 22-19, fast-break points 17-0 and bench points 36-8. Kentucky had 26 assists, 18 steals and 12 blocks. Kentucky played 11 players in the game with 10 scoring points.
After the Wildcats won the tip, Lincoln Memorial scored the game's first five points before Wyatt got Kentucky on the board with back-to-back baskets. After a LMU basket gave the Railsplitters a 10-4 lead, Kentucky responded with a 23-2 run to end the first quarter and take control of the game.
LMU would respond in the second quarter, however, as the two squads were even 23-23 in scoring in the second stanza. A different Kentucky team came out of the halftime locker room starting the third quarter on a 23-5 run, including 18-0 at one point, to up its lead to 30 and never look back.
On playing press defense most of the night….

Serving At: Pilgrim Wesleyan Church
Home Country: Sierra Leone
Michael Mark Gandi is a Global Mission Fellow (International) with the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, engaged in a two-year term of service. He is part of the 2021-2023 Global Mission Fellow cohort.
Michael is a member of Bishop Baughman Memorial United Methodist Church in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The church is part of the Sierra Leone Annual Conference. Actively involved in the congregation, Michael serves in the music ministry, as an executive member of the young adult fellowship and as a participant in midweek Bible studies. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in art history and sociology from Fourah Bay College, part of the University of Sierra Leone.
Becoming a Global Mission Fellow is a dream come true for Michael. "This has always been my aspiration," he said, "to serve humanity; to be a blessing to the oppressed and the marginalized; to advocate on social injustice issues; and to see all God's children live dignified lives free from suffering."
A friend encouraged Michael to apply for Global Mission Fellows.
"When I read about the core values about the program and looked on social media, seeing young people serving in different parts of the world," he said, "I started gaining interest in the program."
Passionate about doing God's work, Michael sees Global Mission Fellows as a call from God. He describes faith as "belief in a divine truth without proof. It is connected with trust, strong belief, assurance, obedience and unquestionable confidence."
Assured that God has been present every step of his faith journey, Michael is confident that God has great things in store for him.
He was determined to graduate from high school and go to Fourah Bay College.
"That happened through faith and hard work," he said. "We have to put faith into action. There are lot of stories in the Bible that teach one to be be strong in faith," even in the face of temptation.
When his older brother went to Gambia in search of opportunities, Michael had faith that everything would work out for good, and it did.
"More so," he added, "when I entered university, I was thinking it would be a serious challenge for me especially with regard to tuition fees." His father had retired and struggled with health issues, but Michael believed that God would make a way. He received financial help from people in the church and a government grant.
"Faith teaches me to be patient because there is time for everything under the sun," Michael said. "In July 2019, we left for the GMF orientation in Cambodia but were denied entry due to reasons beyond my understanding."
However, he was not frustrated. "It happened for a reason known to God," he said. "Even though we were disheartened, we accepted it in good faith. The Bible made us to know that in everything, good or bad, we must give thanks.
"My faith journey has not been smooth, but I thank God for his many blessings in my life."

Reasonable opportunities to improve water quality do exist.
Democratic gubernatorial candidates have been seeking my support for the primary. I tell them I will not support them unless they have a reasonable position on water quality. My opinion of what is reasonable is based on my 40-year career as an environmental engineer in the area of water quality.
The Jan. 4 Register editorial, "We have water plan; now fund it," had the following descriptions regarding water quality in Iowa: "Iowa's pathetically filthy waterways," and "some of the most polluted water in the country." In my opinion, such perceptions are grossly inaccurate. Apparently such unsupported hyperbole is helpful in advancing agendas, as evidenced by our president.
Of course there is room for water quality improvement, but the goals that have been set, such as a 45 percent reduction of nitrate, are unattainable without dismantling agriculture as we know it. Regulation of agriculture to achieve these goals would be extraordinarily difficult, phenomenally costly and ineffective.
Reasonable opportunities to improve water quality do exist. For example, while the Republican plan to provide $27 million a year to help farmers implement water quality improvements is a drop in the bucket, the same amount could remove the burden of excessive nitrate from all public drinking water supplies in Iowa.
The current Democratic water quality agenda alienates the rural sector. A Democratic candidate for governor who breaks from the pack and seeks a reasonable approach to water quality might actually stand a chance to win.

Dr & The Medics
Dr and the Medics were created in 1982 at the dawn of the 80's by The Rev Dr Clive Thomas Jackson. He was DJing at the time at his phenomenally successful soho nightclub "Alice in Wonderland," under the name of "The Doctor". The band were only formed to win a £5 bet and do one show, they used the first name that came into their heads, hence "Dr and the Medics!"
One gig to led to another and they soon discovered that their unique blend of Psychedelia, Glam and Punk Rock was finding an ever increasing audience. So much so that by 1985 The NME named them as "THE live band of the year." 1985 also saw them top the then highly respected Indie Charts, with their "Happy but Twisted" E.P.
The band's next chart success saw them top the charts in the UK and 28 other countries with "Spirit in The Sky", their signature tune and the song that they are best known for the World over. Often seen as One Hit Wonders the band did get to number 22 with their next single "Burn", however The Dr still likes to wear his "One Hit Wonder" badge with pride, making them the only One Hit Wonder to have had 2 hits!
The band continued to tour extensively for the following decade with their reputation for great live shows guaranteeing that they were always popular on the live circuit throughout the World. By the late 90's, fashion changes, line-up changes, management changes, label changes… (in fact, virtually everything changed apart from The Dr's flared trousers!) mean that the band were almost extinct by the end of that decade. However, in 1999 The Doctor decided to do one final tour and put together a new line up just for these dates.
This meant that any plans of retirement were to be thwarted as yet again the band found themselves with one tour leading to another. The new revitalised line up and show was greeted with acclaim by audiences across the board, from festivals and events to venues both at home and abroad. Their current set consists of much loved 80's covers (All given the unique Medic's treatment) and Medics originals from both the past and present.
The band adapt their set for their shows to suit all audiences. So, whether it be a rock venue or 80's gathering they always deliver a set that delights the crowd.
Such is the power of their performance that they produced the shock result of the 2005 TV show "Hit Me Baby One More Time," when they won the studio vote for best act against Jackie Graham, Belinda Carlisle and ………..SHAKIN STEVENS!!!
In 2008 The Doctor was acknowledged by his hometown Liverpool, when he was invited to perform for "The Number One Project" to 11,000 people in the Echo Arena alongside Atomic Kitten, The lightening Seeds, The Christians, The Scaffold, The Farm, Gerry & the Pacemakers and many more Liverpool chart topping acts. The band also recorded Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes" as part of the venture.
At the start of 2020 the band were looking at their busiest schedule for almost 30 years ….….. What could possibly go wrong? The Pandemic swept away all their work in 2020 but the Doctor and his band still refused to lie down. Instead, the Doctor got busy writing a two man show, "The Doctor Will See You Now – Life as a One Hit Wonder" which has been taken up by theatres across the UK and will be out on the road in 2021 and 2022.
The band have also been able to push ahead with their album and are aiming to see it released in 2021. "The Delicious Rise and Fall of Hari Oakham" is being produced by the band's guitarist Dan Angelow and has already seen two tracks used in a film.
2021 is going to be a very interesting year for Dr and the Medics and we look forward to entertaining you soon!

The Turtle And His Bride
: The Brown Fairy Book
There was once a turtle who lived among a great many people of different
kinds, in a large camp near a big river which was born right up amongst
the snows, and flowed straight away south till it reached a sea where
the water was always hot.
There were many other turtles in the camp, and this turtle was kind and
pleasant to them all, but he did not care for any of them very much, and
felt rather lonely.
At last he built himself a hut, and filled it with skins for seats, and
made it as comfortable as any hut for miles round; and when it was quite
finished he looked about among the young women to see which of them he
should ask to be his wife.
It took him some time to make up his mind, for no turtle likes being
hurried, but at length he found one girl who seemed prettier and more
industrious than the rest, and one day he entered her home, and said:
'Will you marry me?'
The young woman was so surprised at this question that she dropped
the beaded slipper she was making, and stared at the turtle. She felt
inclined to laugh--the idea was so absurd; but she was kind-hearted and
polite, so she looked as grave as she could, and answered:
'But how are you going to provide for a family? Why, when the camp
moves, you will not even be able to keep up with the rest!'
'I can keep up with the best of them,' replied the turtle, tossing his
head. But though he was very much offended he did not let the girl see
it, and begged and, prayed her so hard to marry him that, at last, she
consented, very unwillingly.
'You will have to wait till the spring, though,' she said; 'I must make
a great many slippers and dresses for myself, as I shall not have much
time afterwards.'
This did not please the turtle; but he knew it was no use talking, so
all he answered was:
'I shall go to war and take some captives, and I shall be away several
months. And when I return I shall expect you to be ready to marry me.'
So he went back to his hut, and at once set about his preparations. The
first thing he did was to call all his relations together, and ask them
if they would come with him and make war on the people of a neighbouring
village. The turtles, who were tired of doing nothing, agreed at once,
and next day the whole tribe left the camp. The girl was standing at
the door of her hut as they passed, and laughed out loud--they moved
so slowly. Her lover, who was marching at the head, grew very angry at
this, and cried out:
'In four days from now you will be weeping instead of laughing, because
there will be hundreds of miles between you and me.'
'In four days,' replied the girl--who only promised to marry him in
order to get rid of him--'in four days you will hardly be out of sight.'
'Oh, I did not mean four days, but four YEARS,' answered the turtle,
hastily; 'whatever happens I shall be back by then.'
The army marched on, till one day, when they felt as if they must have
got half round the earth, though they were scarcely four miles from the
camp, they found a large tree lying across their path. They looked at it
with dismay, and the oldest among them put their heads together to see
what was to be done.
'Can't we manage to get past by the top?' asked one.
'Why, it would take us YEARS,' exclaimed another. 'Just look at all
those tall green branches, spreading in every direction. If once we got
entangled in THEM, we should never get out again!'
'Well then, let us go round by the bottom,' said a third.
'How are we to do that, when the roots have made a deep hole, and above
that is a high bank?' replied a fourth. 'No; the only way I can think
of, is to burn a large hole in the trunk.' And this they did, but the
trunk was very thick, and would not burn through.
'It is no use, we must give it up,' they agreed at last. 'After all,
nobody need ever know! We have been away such a long while that we
might easily have had all sorts of adventures.' And so the whole company
turned homewards again.
They took even longer to go back than they had to come, for they were
tired and footsore with their journey. When they drew near the camp
they plucked up their courage, and began to sing a war-song. At this the
villagers came flocking to see what spoils the turtles had won, but, as
they approached, each turtle seized some one by the wrist, exclaiming:
'You are our spoils; you are our prisoners!'
'Now that I have got you I will keep you,' said the leader, who had
happened to seize his betrothed.
Everybody was naturally very angry at this behaviour, and the girl most
of all, and in her secret heart she determined to have her revenge. But,
just at present, the turtles were too strong, so the prisoners had to
put on their smartest slippers and their brightest clothes, and dance a
war dance while the turtles sang. They danced so long that it seemed as
if they would never stop, till the turtle who was leading the singing
suddenly broke into a loud chant:
Whoever comes here, will die, will die!
At this all the dancers grew so frightened that they burst through
the ring of their captors, and ran back to the village, the turtles
following--very slowly. On the way the chief turtle met a man, who said
to him:
'That woman who was to have been your wife has married another man!'
'Is that true?' said the turtle. 'Then I must see him.'
But as soon as the villager was out of sight the turtle stopped, and
taking a bundle containing fringes and ornaments from his back, he hung
them about him, so that they rattled as he walked. When he was quite
close to the hut where the woman lived, he cried out:
'Here I am to claim the woman who promised to be my wife.'
'Oh, here is the turtle,' whispered the husband hurriedly; 'what is to
be done now?'
'Leave that to me; I will manage him,' replied the wife, and at that
moment the turtle came in, and seized her by the wrist. 'Come with me,'
he said sternly.
'You broke your promise,' answered she. 'You said you would be back
soon, and it is more than a year since you went! How was I to know that
you were alive?'
At her words the husband took courage, and spoke hastily:
'Yes, you promised you would go to war and bring back some prisoners,
and you have not done it.'
'I DID go, and made many prisoners,' retorted the turtle angrily,
drawing out his knife. 'Look here, if she won't be MY wife, she sha'n't
be YOURS. I will cut her in two; and you shall have one half, and I the
other.'
'But half a woman is no use to me,' answered the man. 'If you want
her so much you had better take her.' And the turtle, followed by his
relations, carried her off to his own hut.
Now the woman saw she would gain nothing by being sulky, so she
pretended to be very glad to have got rid of her husband; but all
the while she was trying to invent a plan to deliver herself from the
turtle. At length she remembered that one of her friends had a large
iron pot, and when the turtle had gone to his room to put away his
fringes, she ran over to her neighbour's and brought it back. Then she
filled it with water and hung it over the fire to boil. It was just
beginning to bubble and hiss when the turtle entered.
'What are you doing there?' asked he, for he was always afraid of things
that he did not understand.
'Just warming some water,' she answered. 'Do you know how to swim?'
'Yes, of course I do. What a question! But what does it matter to you?'
said the turtle, more suspicious than ever.
'Oh, I only thought that after your long journey you might like to wash.
The roads are so muddy, after the winter's rains. I could rub your shell
for you till it was bright and shining again.
'Well, I AM rather muddy. If one is fighting, you know, one cannot stop
to pick one's way. I should certainly be more comfortable if my back was
washed.'
The woman did not wait for him to change his mind. She caught him up
by his shell and popped him straight into the pot, where he sank to the
bottom, and died instantly.
The other turtles, who were standing at the door, saw their leader
disappear, and felt it was their duty as soldiers to follow him;
and, springing into the pot, died too. All but one young turtle, who,
frightened at not seeing any of his friends come out again, went as fast
as he could to a clump of bushes, and from there made his way to the
river. His only thought was to get away as far as possible from that
dreadful hut; so he let the river carry him where it was going itself,
and at last, one day, he found himself in the warm sea, where, if he is
not dead, you may meet him still.

On a bitter night somewhere between Christmas and the New Year, a man set out to walk to the neighbouring village. It was not many miles off, but the snow was so thick that there were no roads, or walls, or hedges left to guide him, and very soon h...


The other day I was thinking about the first time in my life that I called 9-1-1 a little over two years ago.
And that led me to thinking of the second time in my life that I called 9-1-1 a little over a year ago.
Huh, I thought with a smile, I made it through March without calling 9-1-1. That's a new record for me!
"What do you want to draw this time?" I asked as Bubbers handed me a pink piece of sidewalk chalk.
"Let's draw the road first!" Bubbers decided and began drawing a long blue line along the driveway.
I helped him along and we chatted with smiles and excitement. Neighbors and their children milled around, riding bicycles and going to the park. We waved and smiled.
Man, I love our neighborhood, I thought to myself as I glanced up the road. And then froze.
A police car with flashing lights was flying down the road straight for us.
I instinctively stepped closer to Bubbers and never took my eyes off the racing car.
It pulled up next to the park and the officer visually scanned it through his open window. Then he turned and looked right at me and my neighbors.
"Get inside your houses and lock the doors!" he shouted at us before turning around and speeding back up the road.
In the blink of an eye, crazed-and-paranoid-Momma-bear roared forth and devoured sane-and-level-headed-adult-Heidi. Swooping down with lightning speed, I grabbed the Bubbers King and flew into our garage, punching in our garage code on the way. Thankfully, Scooters was still sound asleep upstairs.
Within minutes I made sure all my doors were locked and I pulled down every window shade.
And my mind was going crazy.
"What is the nature of your emergency?" the operator asked.
No, but it was nearby.
"Stay inside and call us if you see anything suspicious," she answered.
I thanked her and we hung up.
Then I called my husband at school. Something I was only allowed to do if it was really important.
"I'm on my way," was all he said and we hung up.
Poor little Bubbers kept following me around asking questions.
My mind was racing. I knew what to do in a fire. I knew what to do in an earthquake. I knew what to do in a flood. But I did NOT know what to do in a manhunt. In my neighborhood. With two small children under my care.
Physically unable to just sit there and hang out, I searched for something to do. Suddenly, I grabbed my emergency phone list and started calling every neighbor on it. After warning one, I would call the next. In between calls, Charming called me on his cell phone to tell me he couldn't think straight while breaking every law known to motorists to get home faster. Then he told me to get in the car and leave. His instincts were telling us to run and my instincts were telling us to hold up and wait.
"The policeman said to stay inside! And the operator said to watch and report!" I insisted.
But my mind was crazy. Suddenly, the whole world was dangerous. Nowhere was safe except my own house.
And he was still insisting that we leave.
I thought about taking our camera and then changed my mind. I was way too distraught to take pictures of anything.
"Uh… Do you mind if I go change out of my sweats first?" I asked.
Charming gave me a look.
"Never mind, never mind!" I cried as I grabbed jackets for the boys and we piled in the car.
Then we drove down the street to Applebee's. A very public place that Charming considered to be very safe.
But my mind was still crazy and I was convinced a lunatic would shoot us all before the main dish.
Then someone called Charming's cell phone and he went outside to hear better.
"They caught him," he said when he came back in.
"Oh good! Are you sure?" I asked, my nerves strung so tight it would take years for them to loosen up again.
"Yep!" Charming laughed and I guffawed.
"Oh, that's gross!" I wrinkled my nose.
Slowly, the fog lifted. Crazed-and-paranoid-Momma-bear yawned and went back to sleep in her cozy den. Sane-and-level-headed-adult-Heidi stepped back into the sunlight and blinked, shading her eyes.
Then I snuggled into Bubbers and put my arm around him.
I laughed and moved my plate closer to us. Then I reached out and pinched Scooters' gloriously chubby cheek.
And after a few minutes, I pulled out my phone and took some pictures.
And then I knew everything was going to be okay.
Wow, what an eventful day we all had! And I am sooo sorry when I spoke to you, the craziness of the day took over and I forgot to wish you guys a happy anniversary!
Happy anniversary Heidi glad to hear you are all Ok what a frightful thing to happen.
Yikes! I think you gave me a permanent apprehensiveness of using portal potties now! (For fear that someone might jump up and stab me in the hiney)!
But… I'm glad everything is okay!
