 I'm taking a day off today for a special event. But I do have the winners of last week's caption contest: Peter Margolies and Beverly Byrd Loomis ("What's for dinner?"). Can't give the prize to my spouse, that'd be nepotism, so Pete's the winner. Have a great week!:

This two-handed drawing exercise was done a while back. If you are so moved, submit your captions as what the woman is saying. Thanks and have a great week!

Saturday's Child: Don't Take The Big Trees by Bob Loomis

I wrote this song in 1997 after listening on KPFA-FM Radio to the hearings in Oakland about redwood logging in the Scotia CA area by a corporation that had purchased the longtime sustainable Louisiana Pacific business and intended to clearcut the area. It's one of my few protest songs. That battle was won, sort of, but there are still attempts being made to take the old trees. I hope you like the song. Copyright Robert Loomis, all rights reserved.

It's funny, but I have very mixed feelings about this holiday.  When I was a kid of course, I loved fireworks, especially the big packs of little firecrackers we'd get with the help of adults.  But as an adult and a reporter I covered quite a few stories of folks who blew off fingers, hands, feet, etc., while setting off fireworks. Plus, I've seen how the M80 and M100 and other explosions make pets tremble with fear. Of course, they remind me of war. IMHO we've had enough wars. But this holiday also commemorates what has been so far the greatest experiment in democracy in the history of Western civilization. So in that sense, I join in the celebration and pray that we are able to continue that worthy effort.
