Merry Christmas!

Peace

Ambrose Everett Burnside

I think General Burnside had cans of whup-ass opened on him twice in Virginia, once at Fredericksburg, and again at the Battle of the Crater. He had a hair-style named after himself, plus he was Governor of Rhode Island.
Tired of snow talk.

Solstice

Port in the storm, the Budget Inn. All communication occurred through hole in the center of the plexiglass, between homeward bound southern Hayseed and Indian Subcontinent proprietors.

At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point--T.S.Elliot

public realm

Court Square, Harrisonburg, Virginia. Cars disappear. The street is temporarily ceded to pedestrians.

Tried and failed to arrive in Charlottesville before the storm. Abandoned the highway, holded up in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

"In God We Hope."

Providence Plantation

Roger Williams, Prospect Terrace Park, Providence, Rhode Island

Within a few months of Williams' arrival in Boston during 1631, he was learning the Algonquian language. He would master the dialects of the Showatuck, Nipmuck, Narragansett, and others. Williams' oratorical flourish and compassion won him esteem with congregations at Plymouth and Salem, as well as among native peoples of the area, all of whom sought his "love and counsel."

Williams' quick mastery of native languages did not alarm the soul-soldiers of Puritania. What landed him in hot ecclesiastical water was what he learned from the native peoples as he picked up their languages. Asked by William Bradford to compose a paper on the compact which established the Puritan colony in America, Williams declared it invalid. How, he asked, could the Puritans claim the land by "right of discovery," when it was already inhabited? Futhermore, Williams argued that the Puritans had no right to deny the Indians their own religions, divine or secular. Soon, the authorities were transferring Williams from pulpit to pulpit, fretting over how easily he won friends not only among colonists, but the native peoples of the area.--Grinde & Johansen

Something new on the holly-day apparatus market, the Frosty the Snowman countdown clock.
Apologies for the color.

How sweet it would be, if we were Sequoia trees.
2000-3000 years in a grove together.
That would be enough.
