Branson library shuts thrift store

 Because it now is a publicly funded county library.

I guess the used book store is staying open. Not sure.

The X factor

so I'm guessing the big X happened:

A. Cz julz was using a new-style photo editor that didn't work as intended, and by the time she realized the problem, she decided to just let it stand.

B. She was mad at Matt for forgetting Katie 's birthday, or maybe for not attending a birthday party.

A head scratcher.

(Note that she used a shot taken during the troika's Brazil vacation earlier this year.)

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY, KATIE!!! whoohoo!!; you'll never catch up to me but will I catch down to you!?

Cover girl makes good

Lynn Anderson did really well for herself as a cover singer. I don't know that she wrote any songs (I haven't checked).

Yet tho she was established as a Country star, Anderson just sang whatever she liked. With the help of musician friends, the cover was usually rearranged from the original.

She had a wide crossover following, but still managed to keep her Nashville base secure.

Here she performs Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orlanes, a poetical Folk Rock number -- and hardly a corny Country train song.

There he is

Scarface...
