I work at the library. We suck at our stock of movies.
However, there is always the "borrow a movie from down the hall" method.

Mmmm... No thanks. I don't feel like eating Chinese tonight.
(Somebody had to say it...)
I am with you. When I have given up the ghost if my damned old flesh would keep life in anyone they are welcome to it. I would stay away from my liver though. Might be a little tough.
On an RV trip on the Oregon Trail, we stopped at a spring near (Marysville? KS?) that had a rock which was engraved by the Donner party. It was still clear as a bell.
Trail goes right by where I take my long hikes near Guernsey Wyo. along the Platte River. Wagon ruts are cut into solid rock. Must have been a lot of people come through there. Lucinda Rawlins grave is also near where I walk. She died of cholera after taking care of many who suffered and died from that fate. I must say it was a beautiful place to die.
...."Timothy, Timothy, he was looking at YOU!'
A tale of three trapped in a mine.
Please name the original artist and title if you can.
I remember the song, for some strange reason, fondly.
Maybe because it was off-beat?
We've been on part of the Trail in Wyo., but not through it all the way. Maybe next summer! Wyoming is a beautiful state.
Donner Party was good people!
