“Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
And Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.“
Kalamazoo is a reference to the Gibson Guitar Corporation, which was founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1902. #ilearnedsomethingnew
A barrage balloon is a large unmanned tethered kite balloon used to defend ground targets against aircraft attack. (Wikipedia) #learnedsomethingnew #currentlyreading
pickA humbling read. So much I didn‘t know and never considered. Definitely provided a lot of food for thought. Environmentalism encompasses so much more than just creating green spaces. A dense, complex read that maybe doesn‘t have the most approachable style, but the information presented is definitely worth the effort.

Show of hands. How many of you had to Google #bildungsroman? 🙋 Women of this book are definitely #fiestyfeb. CeeCee's story just grabs your heart and won't let go. When asked for my favorite books this one tops my modern books list. It's 2nd on my all time favorite list right after Pride and Prejudice. @RealLifeReading BTW isn't my new teacup beautiful? #junkstorefind #learnedsomethingnew 👠💙📚
Found One! First I had to Google #deckleedge and then I had to dig through my books. This one is in the stack of cheap used books, I've bought and someday will get around to reading. I always thought this kind of edge meant the book was 2nd of something. @RealLifeReading #learnedsomethingnew #fiestyfeb
