I sure miss that kind of analysis.<br />Stephen, I think there is a lot to your idea of getting politicians out into nature-some of them, the deeper into the wild the better.Tom Cochrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046822056852446079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-50638555410803952312012-02-15T13:30:13.586-08:002012-02-15T13:30:13.586-08:00I once covered a flash flood in Severeid's hom...I once covered a flash flood in Severeid's home town of Velva, back in the '60's. I grabbed a ride into the town on a boat and when it came time to call it a night (my radio station went off the air at midnight) my boater had also retired. I had to wade back in chest deep water to get back to the other side.<br /><br />By the way, it appears there are some nymphs residing in those beautiful mountains, too!Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-71715107930736297882012-02-15T13:07:51.040-08:002012-02-15T13:07:51.040-08:00Your posts are always interesting because you get ...Your posts are always interesting because you get me all hopped up on politics and then you calm me down with pictures of beautiful scenery. Maybe politicians should be removed from Washington and dropped off at some of these wonderful places you photograph to show them what's important.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-8834064447085942952012-02-15T12:54:03.695-08:002012-02-15T12:54:03.695-08:00During one Severeid seance at the end of the CBS E...During one Severeid seance at the end of the CBS Evening News he waxed on about those who complain there is too much English in the French language. You know: le HotDog, le Parking Lot, le WeekEnd. He allowed that many French words are ensconced in our English conversations. Eric Severeid playfully insisted that if the French wanted to edit English from their world we could do the same with those French invasions. "... And we could begin with the word detente."
