Empty Buildings and Unrelated Stuff

Interesting link


Speaking of deserted buildings, ghost towns, and the like, Keely's friend Taurus sent me an interesting link a couple of weeks ago.

20 Abandoned Cities from Around the World: Deserted Towns and Other Derelict Places

The article has interesting photographs and a short summary of each city's history. These places were abandoned, despite having many more residents than Duff, Nebraska, (or Rose, Nebraska, an empty set of buildings near Duff) ever did.

Unrelated Notes

1. Please check out the Hangman game at the bottom of this page and post a comment if it doesn't work for you or if it looks strange in any way.  To begin playing, just type a letter into the box.

2. We have a lot going on at our house right now. The main bathroom is all torn out and we're showering at the Y.  All in all, the disruption is absorbing a lot of my free time. Things will be back to normal in a couple of weeks, whereupon Prairie Bluestem will resume its normal pace.

Hangman seems to work just fine.

CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.

IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
