Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop.
This week the new season has displayed it’s credentials, albeit, still in a subtle, flash-of-the-gold-detective-badge kinda way. Some trees are showing small (but increasing) percentage of color control issues. Green losing commitment and letting orange, one of the true juvenile delinquents of the spectrum of shades and hues pretty much run riot.
For this week, we are grateful for the following people, places and things…
1) Una
2) Phyllis
3) The Wakefield Doctrine
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) yard work (actually, anticipation of impending yard work.) the grass and lawn type work is all set for the season. Now it’s a matter of some tree removal. Single or so trees, not large-scale hire someone work. The fun, (in this), is the significant alteration of the world that usually results. We have one tree in mind. Will try to get a photo before posting.
6) technology, of course. While the abuses and annoyances that accompany the …. (we almost typed: ‘conveniences’) but the impact of tech in the last 20 years isn’t hasn’t merely made life easier. It has expanded the world for individual. The blogosphere in which is post is being….err. posted, is the perfect example. Writing stuff to share with friends from any and all parts of the planet. People I would have simply never have encountered were it not for the internet.
7) (historical Grat) road trips that started in Salt Lake City (photo above)
8) something, something
9) Open Book Essay Item for extra credit for any Readers desiring a brief dalliance with the word-slingers at the TToT
10) Secret Rule 1.3

Hey, I recognize that place! What were the other stops on your road trip?
This is a great time to tackle yard clean-up projects: the weather is cooler but the snow hasn’t started falling yet!
I believe the photo was the first of three (business trips) to Salt Lake City. The road trip was to Bonneville Salt Flats and Estee Park CO ( to see the hotel used in the movie ‘The Shining’
Subsequent trips include Arizona, Mississippi and Key West
“Juvenile delinquent of the spectrum” — I do enjoy your way with words, and your lists.
Fine list, however, #6 takes stands out as there’s no question the internet has expanded the world for anyone who takes advantage of it.
Great music!
