Yep, ya can't beat it when you see all the trash out there now. The cast was the best. Danny Kaye was a fantastic entertainer ! And so was everyone else. We'll never see entertainers as intelligent and interesting as these cast members.  BTW, anyone here ever seen 'The Bishops Wife' with Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young ? 

A true Christmas classic IMHO.

Not a mountain OF snow but a mountain WITH snow.

Looking out of this (my 2nd floor computer room window) when it got light, I see that the Smokies got a dusting of the white stuff last night.

Ah yes.... The professor who was having a bit of difficulty finishing his book. Right ? The sequence where the beverage of choice kept refilling itself was fun to watch. Ahh, what a great movie. I've read that originally David Niven was supposed to be the angel and Cary Grant the Bishop. I don't recall why the roles were reversed but it seemed to work out perfect.

The sheriff is in the next cell over but one. The raccoons, to date, have not made it this far. There are several Havahart cages (Size Large) scattered about the premises armed with freshly opened cans of Albacore White Chunk Tuna. About once each week we transfer the masked ones into a large hold in a raccoon scow and tow them, by kayak to "Raccoon Island". It is on Lake Chilhowee, between Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Cherokee National Forest.

another captivating photo Shut Mouth .......................be aware that you should orient the scow in a contrary direction during the the entirety of the (masked) loading process and take measures NOT to discuss your destination enroute as the devious rodents WILL be listening

Apologies; hard to reply while laughing so hard. The scowl is covered and dark so they shouldn't orient to where we started. Besides, I zig-zag as I kayak. Oh, and loud Journey music plays in the scow so they cannot hear my voice.

Once, when dropping off a 'load' of the bandit bears, I forgot to give them their severance pay (more Albacore Tuna). Oh man, the looks I got!! Really makes a guy feel BAD!
