"Done with error on page..."
To our Readers:  We feel it necessary to apologize for typos or errors. The problem lies with Blogspot.  Pleas for help go unheeded.
Each and every daily post is a game of round-about.  Text can be entered only if a photo is posted first.  (Sometimes we upload a random photo and remove.)   Navigating the text is only possible using the arrows.  Once done, editing is not possible.  Example:  the duplication of the word "his" in the previous post.  It is simply too round-about to start again!


"Abraham Lincoln in his his day was affectionately known as 'the rail spliter,' because of his prowess at this very tricky job.  Even in those times, snake rail fences meandered up hill and down dale.  They turned awkward corners adroitly, dodging boulders and huge trees.  Because of their sharp angles and interlocking joints they were strong and solid.  But against this, in harvest time they served the harvesters wonderfully well as eating and resting places in the hot weather."

~Harry Symons, Fences, The Ryerson Press, Toronto, 1958.
