After some hundreds of pages of Edmund Morris's "Colonel

their opinions private for the time being. *Even H.L. Mencken

Nearly stupefying.

Cluelessness on a scale hitherto encountered only here, in these
pages.....or sardonic wit worthy of Twain, Wilde
or.....yes.....Mencken.

Either way, nearly stupefying. * * * *

giles

Joe the Elder offers----well at least he took some interesting hikes
in South America--[where he almost died]

He also took some other interesting hikes......where a LOT of things
died.

--did he not do something
about parks that we have enjoyed ?

So I've heard.....though all that took place before the stage in his
life covered by "Colonel Roosevelt."

Seems he lived to accomplish rather
than worry about *comments upon his death !

Interesting observation......could be read a number of distinctly (and
importantly) different ways. I'll take it straight up. Yes, he
accomplished rather a lot. Perhaps more than any other well-known
public figure in American history.....so far.

That said, probably few others gave much more thought to comments
about their deaths.....and that ain't necessarily a bad thing.

giles.
who has not yet lived to accomplish his own demise.....but is working
on it.

Just WTF does this OFF TOPIC jibberish have to do wit Fishun?????

You no good for nothing, green teeth basterd (bas terd)....yes ****!
