ReplyDeleteSometimes you put up so many post so fast, maybe we should call you the worlds fastest Yooper!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool!! Good on ya!
ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive past! I expect that after this we should learn that you join in annual celebration of the birth of Robert Burns.
ReplyDeleteNo to the Robert Burns celebration, but... did you know I also have a blog on poetry? https://better-than-palgrave.blogspot.com/ and that I previously posted all the famous people that I've found I'm related to, just in the vehicle world? Goodyear, the Wright Brothers, Studley who made the tool chest, Glen Curtis, Ferris, Erskine, and Bushnell! https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/06/you-can-learn-lot-if-you-have-time-to.html
DeleteWhen I was still a teen, my dad's mom was telling me of our Scottish ancestors, and while doing the family tree that no one else ever had, I had a lot of dead ends on that direction, which I've finally broken through to finish the tree, but she did tell me one of her grand dads was a McLean. Since she, and my dad and uncles were all red heads, I already knew we were very scottish.
But I don't find Burns poetry interesting. Robert Service, and Kipling? Terrific. Emily Dickenson, amazing. There is another very intriguing poet, who made similar poetry to Service, about saloons, piers, brawls, Chicago gangsters... I just can't recall the name, and all my poetry books are in storage
