The Stolen Valley
I have a short scene in this movie
as a patron in a bar that is having
an open mic night on Taco Tuesday.
I took a quick shot of what I looked like
in that scene.
The movie is well worth seeing as it comes
to theatres near you.
Here is a link, try it today, leap day.

Josie Love's Autograph Book
I was fortunate to receive photos
with Josie Love's autograph book.
Although I don't have Josie's photo,
I do have one of her sister Caroline
and her cousins.
Josie was the daughter of
Robert and Elizabeth Love.
They lived in Fredericktown, Ohio.
The dates of the book are 1880 to the 1890s.
Josie died in 1895 following a short illness.
She never married.

The Trial of Ayn Rand by William Missouri Downs
"Since Man has inalienable individual rights, this means
that the same rights are held, individually, by every man, by all men, at all
times. Therefore, the rights of one man cannot and must not violate the rights
of another.
For instance: a man has the right to live, but he has no right
to take the life of another. He has the right to be free, but no right to
enslave another. He has the right to choose his own happiness, but no right to
decide that his happiness lies in the misery (or murder or robbery or
enslavement) of another. The very right upon which he acts defines the same
right of another man, and serves as a guide to tell him what he may or may not
do."

There are a variety of Victorian Stickers

collection.
This one is from my Great Grandmother's
autograph book.

Mary Cruwys is the writer of these two days of remembrance.
Mary has previously signed the book.
The entry for the 13th honors
Ethan Allen.
The image on

Mary's tribute to Ethan Allen is brief
but of course his life is well worth exploring.
