Had he accepted the kingship would he have been called King George I or King George IV?
Maybe King George A or 1a?

I believe George Washington was the first and only man to ever decline being named the supreme leader (King in this case) after conquering a land. President perhaps, but he gave that up too. He didn't want it in the first place. Poor guy never had much of a life of his own. What little he had was his most loved. Hanging out at Mount Vernon with Martha.

I am in awe of the Constitution, its authors. There is not a way in the world that I could ever have done so well and I think that I am pretty bright. What the founders risk and went through for their beliefs. They not only talked a good game, they lived it. I am distressed to be living through its disintegration. One of them said that a republic will only work if populated by moral people - he was right.
I am downer this evening, I think that I will have a toddy with Mrs CMD, go to bed early and wake refreshed.
The fence is on my list. Need to get the new hearing aids first. And now I need to see what the gas company is going to do on the time line to replace the lines on my street and a few others. Got the notices the other day. Said it would be going on from May to September..
I deliberately avoid it. Watched Princess Di, and a bit of Prince William. That's all I can manage.
Good Morning Army. TGIF !!!

Am I the only one who thinks 'Blacklist' took a turn for the worse with the season finale ?
Have a Safe and Blessed Day

Papaw, I didn't like what was happening with "Mr. Kaplan". That was a downer for me. I did like that the big question was answered. Now I won't get to see it after that season, since I stopped Netflix.
Another bird story...
Robin (our lovely threadmember, not the bird) inspired me to do some organizing in the garage. I go out there and there's a bluebird hopping around on top of a pushbroom I have hanging upside down against the wall. He's runnin' his beak letting me know he's not happy. I regularly get birds in the garage who get stuck and are too stupid to figure how to get out. Usually it's the hummingbirds. I ignore him. They eventually find their way out. I'm coming and going. A couple hours go by and I notice he's gone. Then suddenly he reappears. This time with a piece of bark in his chops. Then mommy shows up right behind him with a piece of pine straw in her beak. They weren't stuck at all. They knew exactly what they were doing. These two feathered freeloaders were building a nest in my broom. Pretty nervy if you ask me. So I took the broom down (the nest was nearly done) and chased them out. They perched on a nearby tree giving me some more beak. Too bad. Scram! You belong outside! Bastiches.

My goodness it is blazing hot outside today, worse than before. I was outside in the shade, and the thermometer said it was 98 degrees a while ago. There is a dry hot breeze to go with it. We don't usually get a breeze this time of year, unless a storm is approaching maybe. A local station said it is 94 degrees. I don't know what the real feel is, but it is HOT.
And how would they survive with the door closed? I'm not bringing them worms too. I have my limits.Bronze, I would've let them stay.
