There are many other factors discussed that were “mistakes” made. *****

The Note Through The Wire – Doug Gold. A very well-written story about a New Zealand Soldier captured early in WW2. Through a multitude of improbable situations, he meets a  female Slovenia resistance fighter. Of course, they fall in love, so the intrigue is “spiced” up with romance. ****

Comedy — because we can all use a chuckle

One afternoon, a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.  Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate.

He asked one man, “Why are you eating grass?” 

We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied. “We have to eat grass.

Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said. 

But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.” 

“Bring them along,” the lawyer replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, “You may come with us, also.” 

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, “But sir, I also have a wife and children with me!” 

Bring them all as well,” the lawyer answered.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.

The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place.  The grass is almost a foot high.
