Some years ago, musician and educator Carver Blanchard was similarly let go from a position at the Smithsonian Institution, where he had sung early and traditional American music while accompanying himself on the lute. Lovely performances of a lovely repertoire, but one I’m not sure really originated on the lute.
Mail service in my area is very good almost all the time. I have a suspicion that in areas where government work is respected you get good people doing government work, while in areas where government work is not respected you don’t.
Never heard of Smokey Stover before. The Katzenjammer Kids, in relatively recent reprints, can still be found at Comics Kingdom, if you’re willing to fight your way through all the undergrowth necessary to get to anything you’re actually looking for on that site. And the classic run of Little Nemo in Slumberland can be read right here at GoComics — something very well worth doing, or it would be if you were looking at a screen the size of an old broadsheet Sunday page.
I would think that DoorDash drivers see the same GPS map that I see, which shows exactly where they are in relation to where I am. Even so, they always try to deliver my stuff a block away from where I am. They have to call so I can talk them in — using the same directions I already posted with the order. So I try to avoid ordering from places that use DoorDash. I’m afraid the Drabbles may have long wait!
