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.
Created by Lizzi R in 1941 even as the summer thunderstorms spawned lethal clouds of German bombers raining destruction on London. Yet her sense of ‘there really should be something like this bloghop in the world if for no other reason than to allow people to bind in common celebration’, resulted in the creation of the TToT. Even if it took another eighty years or so.
And so, we have a Gratitude bloghop, the TToT. Easy to participate, beneficial to share and fun to write. (The secret of this ‘hop is, despite seeming to be quite demanding in form and content (Ten!! things of thankful. In a list, thank you very much)? The hosts (and hostinae) are quite gifted in both the creativity of content and presentation department(s).
So, you’re invited to drag the ole keyboard out from under the dust and post-its and share the people, places, things and events that inspired you to say, “Well, that’s a good thing to have happened’. (any scotts out there? the passive pluperfect subjunctive voice is optional)

5) it didn’t snow this past week (though it fricken’ could’ve, as temperatures were in the 20°s overnight midweek lol)
6) the Six Sentence Story bloghop
7) “oh! the humanity!!” the album we pulled a music vid from, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. We’ll to out on a limb and say, ‘Among Readers today there is a significant percentage who still know the lyrics’. (no, we won’t do the math). damn! Even worse! we remember the order of the songs.
8) something, something
9) old project complete, new project beginning here’s a Before photo (with any luck we’ll have an After photo next weekend)

#9. Beech? Pity to see a tree fall like that, although excellent firewood for next winter.
Great songs. Fun to hear again. Hope your week is a joy.
not certain (on species)
arguably one of the best albums of the 20th C
you as well
That’s a project, all right.
In my defense, I do not know the order of the songs, I was born the year they came across the Pond. I do, however, sing along.
hey it wasn’t your fault don’t feel guilty about your hypo-aged condition lol
Has there been a TTOT with a cliffhanger before??? Looking forward to the “after” photo!
We often play the Beatles Channel in the car. I can’t tell you the order of the songs on the album, but the lyrics are known. And, I can just about guarantee that the song I’ll wake up with in my head tomorrow will be a Beatles song! (Have you ever watched the movie “Yesterday”? Such an interesting premise, and filled with good music, too!)
Oh, don’t forget to link up!
thanks once again! I did forget to link when I posted on Saturday (not really sure why posting to Mimi’s which is what I do carries out to the others)
I was proud of myself to think of taking a ‘Before’ photo lol
the Beatles are a good example of what Konrad Lorenz marked in the science as ‘imprinting’ …well, in a musico-cultural sense of the word. I have always enjoyed most of the their music but in a ‘of course’ sense, rather than in the active musical taste sense of the concept
go figure
have a great week!
Does the clock in the picture actually work? If it does, how would you tell the time?
yes. yes it does!
not sure… by having clark (the Outsider) as your predominant worldview (aka personality type)?*
* clarks are the most chaotic in terms of demands of the world to provide a reality
We have a clock just like that! The bathroom mirror helps a great deal in reading the time.
I had it on the wall in my office at my previous brokerage. Fun to watch visitor’s reaction.
