Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
You see it, don’t you? (Grat 7 for a hint)*
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s weekly contribution to the Ten Things of Thankful (TToT) bloghop. First published in the Winter of 1895 by Lizzi R, the TToT has remained a most esteemed of what came to be known as Grat Blogs. While originally printed on yellow-lined foolscap folio, eventually someone decided that hardcopy had certain limitations and invented the internet and, immediately afterwords, the blogosphere.
Hey! March is Open Recruitment Month for Hosts and Hostinae. If you know a blogger you feel would be a good fit, tell us. For that matter, if, at this moment you’re thinking, “I could do that! Whatever ‘that’ is…sure, these Hostinae (and Host) seem like reasonable people. (ok, a slight reservation on those Doctrine people, serially, a robot in a movie from the mid-1950s?!?) But the rest of them seem… cool. Maybe I will send in my name.”
1) Phyllis
2) Una
3) the Wakefield Doctrine (sine qua non, y’all, sine qua non))
4) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
5) again, and surely one of the primary Grats shared by us all: relatively-good health (sufficient to remove accumulated frozen water from the driveway)
6) modern technology, specifically, having a motion picture camera in our portable telephone
7) * What we sorta saw on our deck. Hey, it wasn’t just us, Phyllis saw it too! (ok, she would admit to seeing a figure (tribute and proof of her having a significant secondary clarklike aspect.) We thought about asking her to play the Anne Francis part… but decided not to (clarks may be crazy, but we’re not insane).
8) something, something
9) walking (P.) to the cottage on a winter’s night
10) Secret Rule 1.3

About clarkscottroger
The first photo looks a little creepy. There has to be a logical reason why snow accumulated at the corner.
Nice to see the dog playing in the snow.
There is!
Promise not to tell anyone else, but each year after Christmas, we put the tree, there in the corner, ’cause it stays green at least until March.
That’s a serious amount of snow. Are the roads cleared?
they are now, at the time of the video no, it was ‘go Nanook or stay home!’ lol
That’s a prodigious amount of snow.
As I like to tell people, I am just generally nuts, not clinically nuts.
as we say at the Doctrine, ‘I’m a clark and I’m crazy; say it loud and be proud
lol
actually the RePrint I didn’t use was the one in which we state:
‘clarks are crazy, scotts are stupid and rogers are dumb’
and the totally un-surprising thing is that when you say that to clarks and scotts they laugh and enjoy it… rogers, they get mad (like for real)… go figure
Aww, your daft darling dog – so much snow… wow (or rather not). Plus thanks for another JJ – just smiling!
love that guy
Damn delightful post, Clark.
Overflowing with all that makes life worth living.
Still smiling over Mia in the snow and as to the figure on the deck? Definitely a picture for posterity. Most excellent, lol.
thank you
