old city Heidelberg (Baden-Württemberg, Germany)

The Heidelberger Palace became the symbol for the Romantic era. The Romantic era
can be considered as indicative of an age of crisis. The Romantics attacked the Enlightenment
because it blocked the free play of the emotions and creativity. A famous relic of Romanticism
is the Philosophers’ Walk.

Good Morning … I’m feeling somewhat philosophical this early February morning.

From one of the Romantics, William Hazlitt:

Those who make their dress a principal part of themselves, will, in general,
become of no more value than their dress.

Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage,
how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

Woody (female groundhog predictor)

With the winter Michigan is having, many will be crossing their fingers Monday
as the area’s beloved groundhog, Woody the woodchuck, makes her weather
prediction for the rest of the season.

Good Morning …..

The word is that Punxsutawney Phil will probably not see his shadow this year.
Meaning an early spring. However our very own ‘Staten Island Chuck’ will see it.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. About 45* and clear. More of the same today.

Fishermen Bastion (Castle Buda), Budapest, Hungary

In the Medieval age this part of the castle wall was guarded by the guild of fishermen,
it was named after that. The building is made up of seven towers – symbolizing the seven
Hungarian tribes that came to Hungary in 896.

Alberta, (Western) Canada

Good Morning …

Cold and a bit more snow fell overnight. Flurries and wind expected today.

Sometimes the thought of how much the US impacts the world just overwhelms me.
From USA Today

TOKYO (AP) — Panasonic said Wednesday it will slash 15,000 jobs and shut down 27 plants
worldwide to cope with plunging demand for its TVs, semiconductors and other electronics products.

Panasonic (PC) joins a slew of other major Japanese companies, including Sony and Toshiba,
in announcing job cuts and forecasting a full-year loss and the global slowdown batters the
world’s second-largest economy.

Manti Utah Temple (Third ‘west of the Mississippi’ Mormon temple)

Perched atop a rising knoll, known as "Temple Hill," the magnificent Manti Utah Temple
dominates the Sanpete Valley of central Utah.

The Manti Utah Temple was built on a rattlesnake-infested site, known as the
Manti Stone Quarry. Once Brigham Young designated the site for a temple,
it became known as Temple Hill. The quarry’s stone, Manti oolite, is the same
cream-colored stone used for the temple exterior. It was completed in 1893.

Good Morning …..

seeing castles and churches. Animals, mountains, water, ‘greenery’, architecture.

I’m a bit behind this morning. ….. Will catch up here and then hit my news/editorial sites

Susquehanna River The longest river on the American east coast.
From Cooperstown, New York … through Pennsylvania … to Northern Maryland.

Mornin’ Folks

I’m repeatedly amazed at the adaptability of the human body.
In October 50* felt chilly. This morning it’s 6*. I went out for about five minutes
with just a flannel shirt over my tee. Felt good … for five minutes anyway. lol.

Nothing special planned. Boring Holly Homemaker stuff. … Compensated by some
Scintillating Conversation.
