I had that dream again

By operating as restaurants rather than soup kitchens while offering free or nominally priced meals, they provided a dignified option for those too proud to stand in a breadline

Tonight's viewing - "Heat Lightning"

During the German occupation the Dutch were not allowed to listen to the BBC and were forced to hand in radios.
So many made their own wireless receivers that they then hid or camouflaged.
This one was hidden in a soap container, made with parts stolen from the Phillips factory.

That's when Jack started to wonder

Good morning!

I had that dream again.

Eight Popeye-related statues displayed throughout the city of Chester, Illinois, where Thimble Theater/Popeye creator Elzie Segar was born and raised. Statues shown are Popeye, Olive Oyl with Swee'Pea and Eugene the Jeep, Alice the Goon, Poopdeck Pappy, Brutus/Bluto, King Blozo, The Sea Hag and Roughhouse.

TIL: Chester, Illinois has a "Popeye Trail" of 19 statues (28 characters) situated throughout the city in honor of hometown hero Elzie Segar. Beyond the main cast they have Castor/The Whiffle Hen, The Sea Hag/Bernard, Alice the Goon & Child, King Blozo, Toar & more. I have a nerdly urge to visit.
