LBJ is a hero of my husband. He owns all the hefty volumes of the Caro biography. I salute you for making the effort to read it.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-22527517837201580122017-07-07T10:17:29.421-05:002017-07-07T10:17:29.421-05:00Tidbits eh?

He was born in Texas, as we know, so I am learning a lot about the Hill Country, the hard times, the Populist movement, etc, etc. Also, in The Essex Serpent, finished recently, she refers to veterans from the "Aghan War." The setting is the turn of the 19th century. I was, what? But truly, Great Britain fought three Afghan Wars in that century! Learning history is good. But what really got me in your post was the shrinking ice in the filming area of Game of Thrones. Creepy!!Judy Kruegerhttp://keepthewisdom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
