Hot Button Issue 😉

  1. I was looking around Project Gutenberg for some reading material to add to my Kindle for slack times over the weekend, and decided to investigate books on drawing. This is the title of the second one I found:

    LADIES
    Manual of Art
    OR
    Profit and Pastime.
    A SELF TEACHER IN
    All Branches of Decorative Art,
    EMBRACING EVERY VARIETY OF
    Painting and Drawing
    On China, Glass, Velvet, Canvas, Paper and Wood
    THE SECRET OF ALL
    GLASS TRANSPARENCIES, SKETCHING FROM NATURE. PASTEL AND CRAYON DRAWING, TAXIDERMY, Etc.

    It is interesting that taxidermy would be considered a ladylike accomplishment. (And I know that is a sexist observation.) I will read the drawing portions certainly, and who knows? I might peruse the taxidermy part as well.

    1. Taxidermy does seem odd in the grouping!

  2. And The Beaverton weighs in: Shocking new book suggests Trump bad [Click]

    Rather than try to identify and root out the members of his administration who are disloyal, Mr. Trump should heed the advice of Bishop Amalric: "Kill them all; God will know his own."
