There Was One Thing Accomplished in the Video

Even if the video for "The Flooded Streets" showed nothing else, it showed Silas can appear; he just doesn't particularly want to do it.  Plus I had just taken a fresh bath and thought wtf.

I just noticed Cadillac Man online and I haven't seen him for about a week.  The politics are kind of sparse but there's a tidbit in the poem about "The Patriot" about the arrival of the French in support of the Revolution.  It seems the Revolution would have died without them but movies dramatize so that will take a bit of dialog to find if the telling is really straight.


Flip it around to "Braveheart," if you like, since this was the reverse of the Battle of Falkirk in which the Scottish (cough) nobility turned to ride away from William Wallace, leaving him to die on the battlefield.  He didn't but it wasn't much longer.

It had to be the French nobility deeply-engaged with sending a flotilla of warships to save the day for the American Revolution and that makes it another point in time since this was after the French Revolution (or one of them) so who were the new nobility who did it.

All that goes much deeper than the online articles but the talk often comes back to the articles in some form after talking about them with C.M.  I'm no expert on history but I do have some knowledge whereas Cadillac Man knows it authoritatively so only a fool would second guess him.


Henrietta is an ongoing story but I need to be careful with that rabbit since it's not entirely clear what that dumb ass rabbit is doing but it mustn't be or then it's just a documentary about invisible giant rabbits.  It would be obvious to some but the movie, "Harvey," is quite old and I'm not even sure I've actually seen all of it but the story revolves around Jimmy Stewart and his giant invisible rabbit.  The idea of Henrietta is stolen from that but the story isn't even close, at least as much as I know of it.

Ed:  you just went from the American Revolution to Giant Invisible Rabbits without even a segue or a thank you, ma'am

Um, yes.  I did that.

Would you like to meet Henrietta?
