Also, since were a' venturin' inta that kinda terry-tory... RIP Maya Deren an' her Divine Horseman (THAT "Voudou" didn't go so well....sadly) -- I'm'a wonderin' if she ended up with the cats 'n doggies....

Ditto! (i.e. college sin-ema course fave of mine here too!) She likely died filmin' her last epic in Haiti--she got a little too curious--ya know they never found her body which makes the mystery of her death all the darker....

I appreciate all the children’s literature you’ve included in all this. I’ve never heard of any of these books.

“Everybody Wants to be a Cat” is one of my faves. We sing it a lot at home.

Really, there’s a Springfield in every state? I was only aware of the capital of Illinois. And the Simpsons which I thought was modeled after the capital of Illinois. 😂

yes yes! you should check out Wanda Gag's books--there are more--all great! Ping too! an' all with mahvelous illustrations (imho) -- "Everybody Wants to be a Cat" is indeed awesome--glad it's a fambly favorite. YES, oddly there is a Springfield in EVERY state. So this is like sayin' "everyman" meanin' "everywhere"--comin' to a theater near you!--even a Springfield,NY. An' given the Simpsons are also predictive, it's not by chance they too are in Springfield... Bottom line tho' is the psy-op on all of us--tryin' ta git us all skeered an' pullin' out a tried & true "method of manipulation"--the "pets" angle... sadly it's effective but once aware we kin be on the look-out for these cons. while we ALL try ta escape from Oz!
