“The grass colors beautiful – orange yellow, sun-lit, rich reddish brown, pastel shades of pale brown pink, pale ochre, light gray creamy white, and some weed that gave off a slate gray color. With the sunlit fields of dead grass against a blue-black eastern sky, I thought of My Ántonia.”
Anonymous, no one said that this is "Liberty" , it's a Czech proverb. I believe it suggests that when the big thieves get caught, they always look for someone lower on the food chain to blame. When the IRS scandal broke, the folks in D.C. blamed some underlings in Cincinnati. They just didn't know anything about it at headquarters.
Every year the environmental saints ask us to sit in the dark contemplating our sins against Mother Earth for what they call “Earth Hour."

BLASTS FROM THE PAST, PART DEUX: The Beatles released their first LP,Please Please Me 55 years ago today: The Beatles’ Marathon Please Please Me Session, Hour by Hour.
The sessions wrapped just after 10:45 p.m., and the following night the Beatles were back out on the road. The venture had cost the record label just £400 (about $11,000 in 2018). “There wasn’t a lot of money at Parlophone,” Martin admitted. “I was working to an annual budget of £55,000.” It took the band just under 10 hours of studio time to record the bulk of their first album, released on March 22nd, 1963, as Please Please Me. As Harrison wryly observed decades later: “The second one took even longer.”

consider a statement prominently attributed to Einstein in the concluding section of a current British Museum exhibition on religion, ‘Living with Gods’: ‘The most beautiful and profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science.’ Absent from The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, it seems to have been derived in the decades after Einstein’s death from the following comment, in his handwriting, spoken by him in 1932 for a recording issued by the German League for Human Rights. Translated from Einstein’s original German it reads: ‘The most beautiful and profound experience is the feeling of mystery. It underlies religion as well as all deeper aspirations in art and science.’ Note the most significant modification: ‘mystery’ in 1932 has become ‘mystical’ by 2018.

The joke of nature is that it tells us all how we have to look. Someday soon, as science fiction completes the collision course with reality, we will be able to cheaply and reliably change every aspect of our appearance, shifting nose jobs from the realm of privilege to the realm of everyday humdrummery. Weight will become a secret number kept between you and your tantric yoga partner. Everyone will have blue eyes
