 April 1, 2026

   Got some light rain early this morning and it made for a very pleasant walk with Uno.

   Meanwhile, Stuart Rosebrook has a theory about how Willie & Waylon & The Boys saved the U.S. of A back in the seventies (1976 to be specific) and I asked him to write up a manifesto on the topic, just in time for our July issue where we will commemorate our 250th birthday. The Nation, not our publication.

Willie Goes All Sugarloaf Before

It Was Popular, in Barbarosa

   Meanwhile, we are doing an homage to Robert Duvall and his immortal role as "Gus" in the next issue and I did this for my editorial.

Daily Whip Out: "Horseman Pass By"

      That is a classic line from the epitaph on the tombstone of this guy:

"Cast a cold Eye On Life, on Death

Horseman, pass by."

—W B Yeats

   Speaking of epitaphs, our good friend, Mark Boardman has been the editor of the Tombstone Epitaph for the past nine years. Here he is at the printer early on:
