YOUR LYIN EYES

Pinocchio-1940-poster.jpg

President Trump took time out from his exhausting schedule at his Mar-a-Lago resort over the Thanksgiving Day

Holiday to say 'he took a pass' on being named Time's 'Person of the Year' Award. Why did he supposedly reject this designation?

...BUT HER EYES SAY OUI!

 

Image result for sailor kiss photo

 

I think that there has been a cultural change world wide of course, but also in this country.

Take a look at this iconic vision relating to VE Day.

Victory over Europe.

Did this sailor know this woman?

Did the lady consent to this approach from the sailor?

Why did peeps from the forties cheer this photo without question?

I SAW NO HOPE

THE FOUR SEASONS?

New hampshire in autumn.jpg

So the Spring has sprung

And our Summer is just gone

Autumn has arrived

Red and yellow trees

So many colors abound

Dead leaves on the ground

Dead leaves on the ground

And dying leaves on the trees

Crispness in the air
