All Christian comfort is denied,
Dog Days!
The great bulk of 19th-century Arkansans had to be stoic since they could not afford to spend two months in the Adirondacks each summer. This was especially true of women. Wives cooked meals on open fireplaces, or after about 1890, on wood-burning cast iron stoves.
Both women and men often worked long hours in the cotton or corn fields. Life was most uncomfortable for enslaved men and women, who often labored under both a hot sun and an armed overseer.
Fortunately for farmers and laborers, many of the row crops had been hoed and laid by before the dog days, allowing a respite from the worst of farm work. It was at this time that many rural Arkansans attended religious camp meetings, often sleeping in open wagons and using the occasion for visiting and maybe courting.

Stupidest : Trump Mocked for Bashing Oscars as Less Elegant Name than Academy Awards
On 4/27/21 at 3:07 PM EDT
Former President Donald Trump faced online backlash on Monday after he criticized the 2021 Oscars for being so politically correct and boring.
In a statement, Trump condemned the Oscars for promoting the Democratic Party and having a far less important and elegant name than the Academy Awards. What used to be called The Academy Awards, and now is called the Oscars a far less important and elegant name had the lowest Television Ratings in recorded history, even much lower than last year, which set another record low, he wrote.
February is
Black History Month, it’s something that no American of any race, color, or creed should forget. African Americans, the decendants of slaves and slaves themselves fought for freedom that was only at best was in the
promissory note of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Those men, and women in the case of Harriett Tubman and Sojourner Truth, paved the way for freedom for African Americans and all others who benefited from what they fought for: women, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and other Hispanics, Asian Americans, and LGBTQ Americans.
That promise being made then, must be kept today, to the descendents of this men, as well as all who benefited through their sacrifice: even the Southern Whites who at the time did not know then, or all too often today, that they too needed emancipation.
