Interesting Stuff

 This is not exactly a 'The Star Made Me Buy It,' although the guy here is very famous.

Our not-star star is D. L. Moody, 

 

The image above refers to the Sunday School he founded in 1858.  

 

Back in the day, especially in big cities. in the dumpier neighborhoods it was common for children, especially boys, to be living on the street.  

 

Maybe dad was killed in a factory accident, maybe mom died of tuberculosis, maybe both mom and dad where alcoholics.   Or maybe both mom and dad were deceased.

 

A number of well-remembered pastors, such as D. L. Moody,  and Christian reformers such as Thomas John Barnardo, and Dr. Albert Oetinger reached out to take care of these kids. 

 

I'm sure there were many more people who stepped to do this work.  The names I cited are just the ones I'm familiar with.

Tickets, please

 Above is my ticket to see ELO aka Electric Light Orchestra back on Friday, October 2 of 1981.

I was SO lucky to get the seat I got because the mother of the friend I went with was Ruly Carpenter's secretary, and Ruly had a box (I think they're called boxes.  You know, the places rich people sit in during concerts, away from the non-rich people) at the Spectrum.  So we sat in the rich people box.

As you're probably aware, or you should be aware, ELO is the greatest rock band in history, bar none.   

Keywords for your interest and edification: ELO tickets 

Found online

I spend a lot online looking at this, and also looking at that.

Some of the this, and also the that is VERY neato, to the point that I usually save them.

Images I mean.

Going forward, Sunday will be neato image day.

Here's our first:

                                                                 three hares

This came from one of those photography awards thingies. 

The Tuesday Song of the Week

 Suh'm fun from 1953...

                                        'Istanbul (Not Constantinople)' - The Four Lads

In the book Murder on the Orient Express, the city is called 'Stambul.' 

Note that the We Might Be Giants version of this song has a video that's a total hoot.
