What in Tarnation Is ‘Tarnation’?
 |
| Why in tarnation do we think Yosemite Sam always said "tarnation"? |
The word tarnation appeared in other popular mid-20th-century TV shows, like Gunsmoke and The Beverly Hillbillies, and it’s possible that we collectively shifted it onto Yosemite Sam because it matched his persona so perfectly. Moreover, Looney Tunes completionists would’ve heard the term on the program at least once. In 1949’s “Bowery Bugs,” when Bugs Bunny introduces the story of a thrill seeker who jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in 1886, an old man says with a chuckle, “What in tarnation did he do that for?”
A quote ...
"Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart."

1 Question for Us
5 billion gallons
That's roughly how much stormwater was captured by water facilities in Southern California this week amid record-breaking rainfall. This comes as water managers across the West are facing the urgent need to conserve storm runoff to prepare for the next drought.

Love today's art. And it applies to all of us: not just those suffering in the war torn parts of our world.
The last graphic that at first looks like just vertical lines is so clever. Can't wait to show my grandchildren when I get them from school today. As time allows, I will post Naseem's Pop-up Book that he had to make for school. I did show him some of the pop-up cards that I have which gave him ideas on how to construct the scenes. But it is pretty impressive for a 10 year old, and he is so enthusiastic about learning anything and everything. But what is so special to me, is that when they both came to spend two nights with me, they came with lots of stuffed animals to hug. So glad they are still children. But of course, you and I are also, at least at heart. Have a nice weekend. The rain has made our sky so clean.
This piece exudes ice to me. Amazing work, Jacki! :-)
