Some things to never say lends an idea for a new bumper sticker.
The next earlier Carol Perkins columnCarol Perkins: Just a Little Something

By Carol Perkins

Some things need to be left on the tip of your tongue. How many times I have I heard someone say, "It (a remark) was on the tip of my tongue but I held back." Usually, that is a good thing. If there is a doubt-don't.

Here is my list of the top things to keep on the tip of your tongue:

Liked the postcard with the red brick building

About: Mike Harris Building with iron trim

Yvonne Kolbenschlag writes:
I enjoyed looking at the post card Ann sent. I noticed the big block along the sidewalk that must have been for getting on and off a horse. What is the date of the postcard? The Square is almost completely empty - not a very busy day - and the surface is not paved. The thickness of blacktop now makes it necessary to have a ditch running the whole way along that sidewalk. And is that a lamp post bending over? Did that lamp post have a cement base that is still there? Vonnie Kolbenschlag
Thanks, Yvonne Kolbenschlag, for bring up the date, which was sent but inadvertently omitted earlier, but is now included. Thanks for the notes. Someone may be able to answer the question about the lamp post base, but I think you may be seeing part of the faded postal cancellation for a bent over lamp post. Maybe someone else will know for sure. - EW

Happy original iron trim on old buildings is retained

Ann Heskamp Curtis writes:
I'm so glad the original cast iron trim is still on many of these old buildings!! A search of Wikipedia for "cast iron architecture" finds: Louisville's West Main District"boasts the largest collection of cast iron facades of anywhere outside of New York's SoHo district." (Or perhaps, Columbia. See accompanying photo of the Mike Harris Building with its original cast iron trim. --Ann Heskamp Curtis

The Island at the Center of the World

One principle of history is that the winners get to write the books. Nowhere is this more evident than in the colonial history of New York and its predecessor Nieu Amsterdam on the island of Manhattan.

Chuck Hinman: Saturday Night Live from Wymore, Nebraska

It's Just Me Again No. 137: Saturday nights were a big event for everyone. Weekly baths. Navy beans and cornbread for supper. A trip to towns, and regular sights - from seeing the guy with his muffler rigged to sound like train whistle to visiting the jam-packed stores downtown - remembered scenes from Wymore Nebraska like many remember in Columbia, Greensburg, Campbellsville, Liberty, Russell Springs and Jamestown, Burkesville, and Edmonton not that many decades ago.
The next earlier Chuck Hinman column: Chuck Hinman: Most Beneficial Subject taken in High School (Latin)

By Chuck Hinman

A fantastically popular social event that caught on in the 1930's should have been called "Saturday Night Live from Wymore, Nebraska." It was a product of the harsh economic times for farmers in the mid-west. It was a one night a week event when area farm families swarmed the town of Wymore, Nebraska, and relaxed from the never-ending plight of hard-times that had befallen them.
