"Half is better than none," or so they say. Others will argue, "It's all or none"
Starts with "G": This one-legged Goose wants to be my G-Word today.

I could not find much about this specific car we see. In races the Abrey's enter it in the pre-1920 class. (road rally link picture) I was not sure exactly looking to find more.
BUT ANYWAY, THEY WERE THERE, ON THE STREET BESIDE OUR CITY BUS.
Tom's choice,"Grand": The last beach where we played was at the Seven Mile Beach at Grand Cayman Island.
We always call him, no matter where he is or who he really is, the Friendly Stranger. A Friendly Stranger took this picture, it has been cropped to portrait size.
Aside, he had been drinking a lot but was able to snap this one for us. We hope he didn't drown; the warm water may have sobered him up, I wonder?

A Lagniappe #1: There's a lot of Gaff that teachers have to put up with. It is no wonder that so many are retiring ASAP, most Gaff comes from the politicians and some also by the mislead parents.
The pictures are some books that teachers, and libraries, have no discretion but to follow new rules to ban them.
For this week's post I've circled all that have a prominent "G" letter in the word and its usage.
From top to bottom the words are as follows:
Ghost; Gay; Gay; and Gender.
I agree, some are not suitable for all ages, but adults should be able to read as they wish.
A Lagniappe #2: BTW, I bought a used book today, "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Both Mrs. Jim and I had read excerpts but not the entire book.
A Lagniappe #3: I like the comics, a.k.a. funnies, but I read only about ten of the many of those in my Houston Chronicle. Five I make a point of reading and then five or six more if I feel like reading more. The top five are Peanuts, Mother Goose and Grim, Hagar the Horrible, Blondie, and Beatle Bailey.
Peanuts is my favorite, I like Beatle Bailey because he is an Army Private and I started my five years as a Private also. The other five or six I often read are Bizarro, B.C, Family Circus, Ziggy, Rymes with Orange, and F-Minus. I hardly ever read anymore.
In peanuts right now, Snoopy's brother, Spike, is visiting. He is in bad shape with the drought in the desert where he lives and came for help.
Questions for you:
Do you read the comics?
If so, how many on average?
What is your favorite?
Growing up I used to read Dick Tracy, Little Orphan Annice, and Little Abner which terminated in 1977 (read more). I still have my 127 Dick Tracy camera.

Nice shots! The Cayman water looks great! I haven't been to Hyde Park for a long time. I remember staying at a hotel near there at the same time as James Baker, he was The Secretary of State at the time. Probably 30 years ago.
I have just spend a day in the very hot sun in Hyde Park. That is a very good photo of you and your wife Sally. The waters and beaches in the Cayman Island are amazing Jim and that is a very good street photograph. I am just back from Sweden and I hope you have a great week ahead.
