If Bob is here with bios, can Raggedy be far behind? Good morning, PA. and thanks once again for your celeb update.
One, among them, inspires us to play this song:
Oh, Mr. moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won't you please shine down on me.
Oh, Mr. moon, moon bright and shiny moon,
Come from out behind that tree.
My heart is achin' and I've got to run.
Here comes a man with a gatling gun.
Oh, Mr. moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
Won't you please shine down on me.
Here's a little fun fact, listeners.
Actual answer on a test:
Madam Curie discovered radio. She was the first woman to do what she did. Other women have become scientists since her, but they didn't get to find radios, because they were already taken.
Thanks, Madam.
Thief nabbed after online sale to victim
Thu Sep 8
BERLIN (Reuters) - A German thief stole a man's in-car navigation system and unwittingly auctioned it online back to his victim, who had police arrest him, authorities said Wednesday.
Police in Berlin said the 26-year-old victim spotted the device on an Internet auction site and quickly re-acquired what he had reported stolen from his car some two weeks previously.
He informed police, who went to the thief's house posing as the buyers and then arrested the 21-year-old.
"I think the thief got a bit of a surprise," said a Berlin police spokesman, adding the man confessed to the theft.
Well, Bob, as I once observed, I would make the kind of thief that you describe here. As the saying goes:
"It takes a thief to catch a thief." I am beginning to believe that cliche more every day.
Here's an odd song, folks, inspired by Bob's item:
Santa Fe Thief
Spinning Around the Sun
Oh the townhouse warbler lives far apart in a song
He holds the poor in his memory he never, he never lets on
He gathers strength as he gazes at length in a joy
You cannot tell from the sound of nothings been heard from his boy
He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for light you won't know it
He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming your way
Oh the caretaker's daughter she lives near the Garden of Eden
She knows the name of each flower, she remembers which let you in
She spills the sky when she looks in your eye and her jasmine
A symphony heard from a mansion when the wind sweeps in between
She's a thief in the night and she's stealing for love you won't know it
She's already found you, her arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder she's already coming
Look over yonder she's already coming
Look over yonder she's already coming your way
Oh the old engineer stays patient high in his roundhouse
He watches his trains appearing through silent puffs of snow
And his eyes are bright as he watches them nearing the time to set the track
With a flick of his wrist he waves to let them go
He's a thief in the night and he's stealing for life you won't know it
He's already found you, his arms all around, you won't show it
Maybe one day you'll know more of, you'll know enough to say
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming
Look over yonder he's already coming your way
REPEAT CHORUS
Subject: Why It's Important to Listen!!
Little Paul watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go
into the woods. Curious, Paul followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt
Jane in a passionate embrace. Little Paul found this so exciting that he
could not contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother.
"Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods
with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss,
then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his
pants off, then Aunt Jane........"
At this point Mommy cut him off and said, "Paul, this is such an
interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see
the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight."
At the dinner table, Mommy asked little Paul to tell his story. Paul
started his story, "I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the
woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big
kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take
his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that
Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army."
MORAL: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story
Oh, my Gawd, Bob. That was fantastic!
I can hear laughter and sniggers coming from the staff office, and I am certain that our listerners are listening. <smile>
Great time slot for this, folks:

If you enjoy exotic birds and flowers; ancient towers. You may want to climb on board.
Hey c. i., nice photography. I envy you that trip. Looks beautiful.

I don't know what a mugwump is. I believe it may be a comic character from a novel, like the whatsits from The Wizard of Oz
I'll look it up, and come back.
mugwumps (mŭg'wŭmps') , slang term in U.S. political history for the Republicans who in 1884 deserted their party nominee, James G. Blaine, to vote for the Democratic nominee, Grover Cleveland.
Well who could have known that?
I can tell you, McTag. It has to do with Coleridge's quote.
Mugwump - a person who remains aloof from controversial issues. (me?)
It's time for another edition of my quiz.
From what song or poem is this a line:
Traces of romance in our heads
Francis, you and McTag are both right, in a sense. I am a mugwump.
One who sits on a fence with her mug on once side and her wump on another.
McT - Send your camel to bed...
A song by the Electic Light Orchestra (LA got it's electricity back by now):
Twilight
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between...
Chorus:
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.
Repeat chorus
(you brought me here, but can you take me back again? )
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Repeat chorus
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, twilight, twilight, twilight.
Midnight at the Oasis. Now I will wait to see if someone beat me to it.
Well done. I thought that might be easy for some.
Here's another line then:
Bring me my arrows of desire

I've beat you, Miss Letty. See my previous comment.
