I find I don’t wish to explore new lands, but to explore again those I have already passed through, trying to see what I’d missed in the first hectic rush … Gerard Van der Leun

If You See This, The Problem Is Fixed – Maybe

The New American Digest Posted on April 16, 2025 by DTApril 16, 2025

Had a notice from the host of a brute-force hack-attack this AM and even I was locked out. Had to go to the host CPanel to fix the site access ... and it seems I blocked >everybody<.
Oops.

One of the regulars contacted me and asked what was up. I'd have not known y'all were locked out 'cause the site looked normal to me. As administrator, I don't see the site exactly as you do. If you notice problems, please let me know - I may not realize there's a problem.

DT’s Breakfast

The New American Digest Posted on April 16, 2025 by DTApril 15, 2025

Seems to be a favorite of mine - at least I fix it often enough.

Beany Weinies

What? You expected something new and original? :)

Frying pan
1 - 15oz can VandeCamps Pork & Beans ... though I prefer Bush's version - less water
2 - hot dogs - sliced about ¼ in thickness
Sliced onion - cut ¼ in slice of medium sized onion, then dice/slice that
Sliced green pepper - about ½ in section of green bell pepper - I'm a midwestern boy. "Peppers" are bell peppers
Sliced tomato - about ¼ - ½ in section, then chopped

Saute onions and peppers together until onions start to brown.
On low heat -
Toss in tomato pieces, continue to fry for length of time it takes to slice the two hot dogs (together)
While hot dogs are (lightly) browning, open can of beans
When hot dogs are lightly browned, dump in can of beans

Heat until center of mass begins to bubble
Serves one or two

Rules

Gerard's Last Post
(posthumous): Feb 4, 2023
"So Long. See You All a Little Further Down the Road"

When my body won’t hold me anymore
And it finally lets me free
Where will I go?
Will the trade winds take me south through Georgia grain?
Or tropical rain?
Or snow from the heavens?
Will I join with the ocean blue?
Or run into a savior true?
And shake hands laughing
And walk through the night, straight to the light
Holding the love I’ve known in my life
And no hard feelings

Avett Brothers - No Hard Feelings

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy
and there ain't no place I'm goin' to

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning,
I'll come followin' you

Take me for a trip upon
your magic swirling ship
All my senses have been stripped
And my hands can't feel to grip
And my toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere,
I'm ready for to fade
Unto my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it


Men who saw night coming down about them could somehow act as if they stood at the edge of dawn.


From Gerard's site. The picture always caught my eye.
