If you are like me, and #LoveABook, then #Party with me on April 29, the 1-yr anniversary of my @Meetup group, which now has 500+ members who love to #network with others through books.
No Saturday stroll is complete without a bit of surrealistic drawings. @jonathandoesart fixed that problem for me today with his rendition of a flying crocodile. Thanks, Jonanthan!

The photograph captured by Marion Post Wolcott in 1938 depicts a coal miner's child in a West Virginia home. The child is shown using a cat hole, which was a small opening in the floor used as a makeshift toilet. The image portrays the challenging living conditions and poverty experienced by many coal mining families during that time.
In the photograph, the child is seen holding a pipe in one hand and a gun in the other. This detail emphasizes the harsh realities of life in the coal mining communities, where dangerous working conditions and a culture of self-reliance were prevalent. The presence of the gun possibly alludes to the need for protection or a way of life where hunting was a means of supplementing meager food supplies.
Marion Post Wolcott, an American photographer known for documenting the effects of the Great Depression and rural life in America, took the photograph. Her work often shed light on the social and economic challenges faced by marginalized communities. This particular image has become iconic and is now part of the collection housed in the Library of Congress, preserving the historical significance of the hardships faced by coal miner families in West Virginia during the 1930s.
Did u know that people from Colorado Springs are some of the healthy as people around? Matt the @AmericanAir flight attendant is from there. Can u get him a raise? He’s going to need spa treatment there after dealing with some high maintenance passengers. #babyyoda 😉
3 cheers 4 Matthew the @AmericanAir flight attendant for picking out this fine #wine to put in #babyyoda ‘s soup. That should hold him until we make our connection to our flight to Colorado Springs.
@AmericanAir Did you know that @AmericanAir was the major airline to hire female pilots? Let today be another first: The first major airline to hold a connecting flight because of #babyyoda! 😎
Hey @AmericanAir I’m flying to Ft Worth on ✈️ 1612 which has been delayed many times 2day. I’m 1 of 13 people making a connect. on flight ✈️ 3133 to Colorado Springs at 3:03 pm for #SpaceSymposium … we would be grateful from the bottom of our ❤️s if u held the plane 4 us 🙏
@AmericanAir I knew that I could count on @AmericanAir for its listening skills!! 🙃
I think 🤔 it’s fair to say that you and I (as well as the 12 other passengers) all love #babyyoda and that in itself is reason enough to hold our connecting flight to Colorado Springs. 😁
