Looky who came to town today. Yes, Greenpeace sailed in and out. I did not see any whales…just for the record. Greenpeace got its start in 1970, when the Don’t Make A Wave Committee was established; its sole objective was to stop a second nuclear weapons test at Amchitka Island in the Aleutians. Who knew, really?
But that’s not what I think of when I hear or see “Greenpeace.” I think of green peas. Then it morphs into Greensleeves, and then full circle into Mr. Green Jeans. Oh how I loved Mr. Green Jeans, and Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, Grandfather Clock, the Dancing Bear….. oh my gosh….. when the ping pong balls all fell from the ceiling…. I’d laugh and laugh. Tom Terrific and his pal, Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog. We all need a Wonder Dog. Just so happens…. I have two. Life is good that way.
Thank God for Greenpeace.
And that folks, is how my brain works.
