"Babes in Toil Lands" Un-Seasonal, unreleased version...

"Made you look!" 

One week into "The most wonderful (retail) time of the year…🎵” a personal invite to a sneak peek inside, behind the window dressings…

"Unfortunate news, alternative views..." That came to me, the morning after "Black Friday". Courtesy, of course, of BBC... 

 “Oh, and bless the hands…” 

A common ending before beginning...

Grace-full and otherwise way to give thanks...

For the actual hands, from "farm to table" that touched, otherwise helped to prepare the food stuffs that we stuffed ourselves with, on the day that is set aside for such, and the other 360+. Along with all the other stuff that is being prepped in what we grown-ups tell the children, fill sheltered minds along with all the sugar plum fairies that are dancing there...

"Santa's workshop, of course" while we, on the other hand, have become increasingly aware that the so-called elves, who we perceive as a bit undersized, but in reality, may be found to be under age, and found in what US, over here, refer to as "sweat shops". Awareness that "Made in China" and other such lands, many of which have found their way to "favored nation status" which has become strained on occasion due to that sticky subject of human rights, violations therein... 

Forcing their hands…whose hands and whole bodies are forced, in so-called "vocational" camps, which resemble anything but, Santa's workshop...look more like a work camp, sponsored by a labor party, based on the even briefest of glimpses from the flyover...

WWSD: If he flew overhead and saw what we saw, from the drone that overlooked...?

Forcing trans-parency...See, did you even look...the other way...?

We, the Mega con-sumers, all have a hand in this..."Don’t give me that 😖 (“dumb-founded!”) look, to what they just found…

“What, on earth …?!” Bet you wish I was just toying with you...

“Dis-quieting news”, just when you thought things were calm and bright...brought to us grow ups who were about to turn in, through what used to be called a Public Service Announcement…”It’s 11:00 - do you know where your children are…?” Now, more of an Amber Alert…

"Beware" While you're enjoying an increasing number of gadgets and goggles "hands free"...theirs, over there, may not be...

Closer to home - based on local news received after posting, that raids on some establishments also revealed not only under age over there but right under our noses …over here.

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
