We are climbing to Garnet Mountain,
Site of a Garnet Mine…
Adirondack river fountains
Ease the gentle mountain mind.
–
We are running up the river
Going to her mountain home…
Place where she was born and raised up,
Place from which she’ll never roam.
–
Climbing Garnet Mountain
Visiting the mine…
History from stone and sweat
Cherished over time!

CLEAR AS MUD…AN OPINION
American holidays inclusive,
Are more and more abusive…
Of history
Generally,
By inclusive practice intrusive.
–
Some media are okay,
With suitable patriotic display,
Playing short blurbs,
Significant words
And facts about this Day.
–
But with little public school support,
How can we hold the fort…
So many aren’t taught
The facts they ought
To know about our past American comport.*
–
Few realize
The wool pulled over their eyes…
Educators say
What they do to hide the way,
Shrouding history in current political guise.
–
This is NOT always the way it was,
Blurring historical origins because…
To do so would reveal
Our deception’s a big deal,
By thinking a Godly government never was.
–Jonathan Caswell
* comport…behavior, or how one conducts one’s own behavior.
ACCORDING TO THE BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE:
On page five of this week’s TRIBUNE,
It’s NOODLE MONTH, but it’s ending soon…
Oh why did they wait
For this very late date,
In three days, how many noodles can we consume?
–
Karen Trainor, of the column “Take The Hint”,
Her picture almost shows an impish glint…
Equates pasta with noodles,
Providing history doodles
Though the “Oodles” people may give some dissent.
–
She says Jefferson’s dinner in Naples
Led to pastas being staples…
At American feasts
Of macaroni treats,
Nowadays, it fills many tables.
–
On rice noodles she’s oddly silent,
On that history I hope she’s reliant…
Rice noodles can
Be served up grand,
I hope, instead of pasta, she’ll try it!
