   Flying to the UK enroute to Morrocco last year, the airline offired Casablanca as one of the entertainment options! It was great to get a foretaste of what was in store for us. We even had dinner at Rick’s American Cafe in Casablanca – modelled after the one in the film, since the original one only existed on a set in Hollywood – but the food was great and “Sam” was playing the piano!

   The bird needs to remember the old middle eastern adage: “Trust in God, but tie up your camel!”

   @mlambo49 – look for menu items of “Sweet bread”. It is a euphanism for animal brains, still eaten in classy restaurants. In Guatemala, the meat market had a bucket of cow eyes for sale – apparently a favorite of the local indigineous population. In the West what we don’t eat goes into pet food – and given that if Amerian Pets were their own country it would have the 8 largest GDP (or something close to that) of all nations I guess that means not too much gets wasted.

   Like some others, I had never seen Agnes until I stumbled accross this site a couple of years ago. And now I find that what I’m actually seeing are re-runs since Tony Cochran retired. Oh well, they are all new to me. But I did find out that he was first syndicated in 1999! (see https://www.creators.com/author/tony-cochran )

   Fascinating: “In 1970, Bernard D. Sadow innovated a traditional suitcase on wheels attached to a long strap. In 1972, Sadow patented his invention as the Rolling Luggage. In 1987, Robert Plath updated Sadow’s design by placing the suitcase vertically, attaching two wheels and building a retractable handle.”https://travelpro.com/blogs/the-travelpro-blog/the-history-of-rolling-luggage Indeed, the year AFTER a human stepped on the moon.

   ““None of us could read music… None of us can write it.” John Lennon admitted this about the band in a 1980 Playboy interview, “but as pure musicians, as inspired humans to make the noise, they [Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr] are as good as anybody.”Oct 8, 2021

    and @Sir Isacc: A far cry from the concept of Education we really need: "Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.” ~Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 260
