Biercamp

| We tried the sausages at a local sausage and beer specialist. It was lunch time on Sunday, so we had a milkshake and a coke, not beer. |
Reading
 |
| The Good Liar by Denise Mina. I didn’t particularly enjoy this book. The characters aren’t likeable. |
Very Early Spring in our Garden

| It’s sunny and almost room temperature outdoors! |
Very Early Spring in the Countryside

| Little sign of green on our Sunday afternoon ride. Monday: I could see a tiny bit more green. |
A Sixties Icon Gone
Country Joe McDonald, antiwar counterculture icon, dies at 84
His “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag” was a four-lettered rebuke to the Vietnam War that made an impact at Woodstock.
 |
| The most memorable song from Country Joe, who died this weekend, was the anti-Vietnam War song “Feel Like I’m Fixn’ to Die.” It is horrifyingly relevant this week, alas. |
I Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-To-Die Rag
Well, come on all of you big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
Got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
Put down your books and pick up a gun
We're going to have a whole lot of fun
And it's 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam
And it's 5, 6, 7
Open up the pearly gates
Well, there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee!
We're all going to die.
Another Sixties Icon

Is that a Pogo cartoon. I haven't seen one of those in a long long time. And that sausage looks good, as does the milkshake. Yum.
Yes, that’s Pogo himself in the picture.
The sausage and milkshake sound good. I am seeing our daffodils just starting to show themselves. Take care, enjoy your day!
I especially loved your 60s icon. I've been singing Country Joe even before he died. Too timely, that song. I think if I get to A2, I need to go to Biercamp and have a milkshake!
A milkshake sounds so good. Yes, we had the best anti war figures in the 60's. Spring is truly there. Great photos. Have a nice day.
Poor Country Joe ... I liked that song ... 1,2, 3 ... what are we fighting for
I agree that you have to like at least some characters!
Lunch and no beer. Hm. I conclude you are not German ;-)
In Bavaria you get beer at the canteen for lunch at work (I was told).
The rest I sadly do not know. But no signs of Spring here, yet...
I used to have a poster featuring that Pogo cartoon hung by my desk. I'm not sure what happened to it. The truth of it unfortunately has not changed since its publication in 1971.
I probably would have chosen the beer...
We're in full spring mood here, it's sunny with a lovely 70F during the day. Lots to do in the garden.
