Revisiting this post seven years later, I'll note that at 14 Jonathan now looks and sounds a whole lot more like Jon than like Heather. :) I'm likely to guess wrong 50 percent of the time when a deep male voice answers the phone.

but those pictures - really couldn't get more obvious. he looks just like heather! glasses or not.

Back to the original subject - when I read the title of Sara's post, I thought that she might relate another incident of the night. On her bookshelf is a little square photo of Sara, Jon, and Sara's sister when they were somewhere around 6-9 years old (my guess.) When we asked Jonathan who the boy was, he said, "Me?"

Though I read in Four Season Harvest or another book by the same author, that all the emissions from the horses in Paris went to the outlying gardens year-round and the introduction of the automobile greatly reduced the fresh produce production for the city.

And the circle between the energy source and the emissions is more obviously closed with the oats/horse combination, although that doesn't play out well in the city.

And growing corn for biofuel is not much different from growing oats for biofuel, except that the oats require less processing and probably give you better miles per bushel.

As long as we're revealing how old we are, I'll admit one of my favorite memories from those days: Seeing the horse-drawn Freihofer van come by our house. Such vehicles were rare by then, and anything involving horses was special. But every time I would comment that I wished there were more horses and fewer cars, my father would remind me that horse-drawn transport is not without its own emissions problems.

Especially since the glasses in question are actually Heather's....

You would also need a picture without glasses, since that biases the comparison.

I'm not sure if I have a young picture of me in electronic form.

I've said before that you are the other half of my brain; sometimes I think you remember more of my childhood than I do. :)

Oh, Freddie, We're ready,

We're waiting for you,

Freddie, we love everything that you do,

We love your cookies...

"Here comes the Freihofer man!!"

I'm glad you remembered the ending song; I could only remember the beginning one:)

Certain inexplicable events send electrical thrills through my body and make my knees weak: looking at the sky from a balcony in Rio de Janeiro and seeing Orion upside down, snorkeling in one of Florida's crystal-clear springs and suddenly finding myself floating over an abyss, ... and learning that my childhood neighbor regularly reads a newspaper column written by someone who was an attendant my daughter's wedding.

Yes, I'd love a copy of the article -- and of the one about Freddie Freihofer, too. That's the only TV show I was ever part of, if you don't count a snippet or two in news stories. I can still sing the jingle:

Freddie Freihofer, we think you're swell,

Freddie we love all the stories you tell,

We love your cookies, your bread and your cakes,

We love everything Freddie Freihofer bakes!

Who wants a Squiggle?!

Wow, I always read Sara Foss, and read it yesterday, not identifying the subjects. I cut it out -- do you want me to sent it to you after I make a copy for L? I enjoy Foss. More local news. Freddie Freihofer, age 91, died this past week. That article is ready for L. also. In case you can't pull out that name, it was Jim Fisk.

Keep writing and I'll keep reading.
