Walt Kelly Studio
Waycross, Georgia
The Okefenokee Swamp houses this "incredibobble" tribute to the creator of America’s favorite cartoon possum.
VISITORS WHO SUCCESSFULLY AVOID ALBERT Alligator’s ravenous jaws while venturing into the recesses of Georgia’s famous swamp can pay homage to Walt Kelly and his cartoon creation Pogo at the Okefenokee Swamp Park. Inside the park’s Serpentarium, next to displays of live and stuffed bog beasties is Kelly’s studio, where quagmire satire made history.
Kelly was born in Philadelphia in 1913 and raised in Connecticut. He began his illustrious career with Disney Studios working on such classics as Pinocchio and Dumbo. During the 1940s, Kelly developed his swamp characters in a series of comic books. His now-famous Pogo comic strip began appearing in the New York Star in 1948, and introduced the world to endearing characters like the presumptuous Howland Owl, the apprehensive turtle Churchill “Churchy” LaFemme, and the perspicacious Porky Pine.
Known for puns, ironic malaprops, and the linguistic acrobatics of “swamp-speak,” the characters often delved into political satire, poking fun at anyone “on the extreme right, extreme left, or extreme middle,” according to Kelly. Some newspapers refused to run the more trenchant comics, leading Kelly to submit innocuous alternative strips that were populated with insipidly inoffensive bunnies.
One of Kelly’s best known observations was a parody of Commodore Perry’s message after the Battle of Lake Erie: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” It continues to be appropriated for all manner of critiques of mankind’s folly.
Fourteen years after Kelly’s death in 1973, his widow, Selby, gave the studio to the park and named Pogo as the official ambassador of Waycross, Georgia, northern gateway to the Okefenokee Swamp. Okefenokee translates to “land of the trembling earth” or “bubbling water” and at nearly 700 square miles is the largest blackwater swamp in North America. The headwaters of the renowned Suwannee River (or Swanee River as Stephen Foster and George Gershwin would have it) are also within the park and can be visited on one of the hourly boat rides offered daily.
Reading the Pogo cartoons in the foyer outside the studio will confirm Porky Pine’s admonition not to “take life so serious…It ain’t nohow permanent.” And certainly the classic strips will leave visitors, “Cheerful to the Death!”
Know Before You Go
There is a fee to enter the park where the studio is located. Paid entrance includes both boat and train rides through the swamp as well as shows with local animals.

The oldest bar in every state
The oldest bar in the US is the White Horse Tavern, which was established in 1673 in Newport, Rhode Island.
George Washington frequented historic taverns such as Middleton Tavern in Maryland, Warren Tavern in Massachusetts, and King George II Inn in Pennsylvania.
The Old '76 House in Tappan, New York, imprisoned a British spy during the Revolutionary War.
Throughout American history, bars, saloons, and taverns weren't just places to order a drink. They were accommodations for weary travelers who would become US presidents, gathering places for public discourse, and safehouses during times of war.
Keep reading to learn the fascinating history of the oldest bar in every state.

A National Historic Landmark, White Horse Tavern was originally built as a house for Francis Brinley. William Mayes converted it into a tavern in 1673 and held City Council meetings and court proceedings there)

Zodiacal Night
Image Credit & Copyright: Jean-Francois Graffand
Explanation: An intense band of zodiacal light is captured in this serene mountain and night skyscape from April 7. The panoramic view was recorded after three hours of hiking from a vantage looking west after sunset across the Pyrenees in southern France. At 2838 meters altitude, Mont Valier is the tallest peak near center. In the sky above, the familiar stars of Orion and the northern winter Milky Way are approaching the rugged western horizon. At the shoulder of Orion, Betelgeuse is one of three bright yellowish celestial beacons. It forms a triangle with fellow red giant star Aldebaran located below Betelgeuse and to the right, and the red planet Mars. Mars shines just under the band of the Milky Way, still immersed in the bright zodiacal light.

The latest addition to #LINMOBapps is "Public Transport", a #Rust/#GTK app for (german) public transport.
Check it out on your #PinePhone, #Librem5 / #LinuxPhones

What I would love to see, would be a short #Peertube video of each app in the #MobileLinux app directory. I don't mean a full review, as most of them are going to be new, buggy and in development, anyway.
I'd just like to at least see each screen, what they're for and the features they have. Possibly showing an easy way of installing them on say #Manjaro+#PlasmaMobile, #Mobian+#Phosh and #UbuntuTouch would be a nice bonus.
Right now it's hard to know what's worth the effort to install.

That said, after redoing my blog (which is also a massive task if it's supposed to be actually good), I'll sink a similar amount of time to finally put #LINMOBapps on different footing, while trying to build some community around it.
Therefore, I'll build some bad prototype based on structured data that's easily collectible (appstream) or already exists (LINMOBapps), and extensible (markdown ...) and put that for discussion on the forums, reddit and the chats.
#Germs, #Genes & the #War on #Humanity
#Fear is absolutely hijacking the critical thinking. Also it is the attention we give fear and not fear itself on its own expands it. Whatever we focus on, it expands. So we change our focus.
Where do we stand in terms of humanity as far as the immune system collective? How do we view it? And when did the change happen?
We measured to the immune collective. For the last 160-180 years our immunity has been at fear. And we actually noticed when the change occurred. So when we looked back into the year 1800. The human collective was at 200 which is the frequency of courage. Then something changed. So we decide to test the “germ theory” . The #germtheory came about the year of 1865 and it is the #frequency of fear which is 100. And this is exactly around the time when our human frequency collective has totally shifted into the fear mode.

Elena Bensonoff: The scale of consciousness that a lot of us that references is ”Dr. Hawkins Scale of Consciousness”. That's the only thing we use as a reference and it applies to human experience.

The immunity system collective of this tribe lives in absolute harmony with each other and with their environment. They are revealing the key and inspiration to all of us to learning something from them.
Other Human Immune System Collective in 2021:
@ 22:18 - Ikaria - 350
@ 24:09 - Blue Zone - 200
@ 25:07 - Amish - 100
@ 28:33 - Vegans - 100
Sasha - This is a markedly unimpressive number of 100. What do you make of it?
Elena - Ultimately, I would say that diet should be customizes, personalized to each individual. There’s no one thing that works for anyone even if the frequency is high. I would say everything should be tested. But maybe at the root, there’s fear. This is why certain groups follow certain restrictive diets out of fear.)
@ 30:52 - Jehova’s Witness - 200
@ 33:33 - Scientology - 200
@ 35:03 - Hepatitis B Vaccine - 100
@ 37:40 - MMR vaccine - 110
@ 38:17 - DPT - 50
Anything from a frequency of 20 or below is destruction of life. Whether it’s destruction of cells or organs systems., whatever it is, the meaning behind it is destruction. The shots have one thing in common which is the frequency of 50. It represents manipulation. It is to manipulate the blue print.
