TToT -the Wakefield Doctrine-

January 20, 2024 By

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. Foundered by Lizzi during a lull in the Axis artillery bombardment of the Arden, this grat blog has everything one might expect, given the context and circumstance of it’s origins.

1) Una

2) Phyllis

3) the Wakefield Doctrine

4) writing and such (the ‘such’ being elaborated in detail in Grats 5 & 6)

5) the Six Sentence Story bloghop

6) the Unicorn Challenge

7) as the photo at the top of the post suggests, it is quite cold this Saturday morning. it will struggle to get out of the ‘teens (like, who hasn’t?) throughout the day today. subsequently, the Cro-Magnon Challenge has been postponed until the temperature moderates. Not only is the wayward bridge* locked in the frozen water, the wood of it’s construction becomes too brittle (if that word applies (wait! lemme go check….ok) the wood becomes fragile.

8) how fun is this internet? it’s like the biggest used bookstore/library in the world, right there underneath the keyboard.  were we not a clark, we might be hesitant to mention (actually, revel in) the amount of time we spend checking on meanings and spelling of words and phrases when we write a post. damn. v fun.

9) something, something

10) Secret Rule 1.3

* wayward bridge… excellent story title, no?

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    #7: (like, who hasn’t) LOL! Definitely should wait until temps rise a bit to tackle the bridge repositioning. When you mentioned the fragility of the wood due to the temperature, I thought of other bridge engineering problems. Even if you’ve watched Galloping Gertie before, it’s worth a re-watch: https://youtu.be/y0xohjV7Avo?si=7lIjdSAAmRAzDqIL

      “The Wayward Bridge to…”

      Excellent title.

      Spring, when temps are more human, is a better time.

      I remember that (film of the bridge)

      Most of the challenge here will simply involve levering the bridge into position. Fortunately I have a good supply of levers.

    (Una, finally remembering what it was she wanted to tell you)

    How I identify with #8!
    I never knew who penned “Gentle on My Mind”. Enjoyed the vid.
    Time now to dance…

    When I hear Welcome to the Jungle I am taken back to my daughter’s cheerleading days in elementary school and they did a halftime dance with this song as the opener. Nothing will make you jump out of your skin like having THAT blast through the PA system!
