Horoscope♉:
10/13/2019

Family members might have too much on their minds today and ask you for more help than you’re prepared to give. Make sure you stay calm and focused so you can decide which difficulties are most urgent and need to be handled first. Don’t be afraid to tell others your decision. When possible, give advice rather than help. Sometimes that’s all people really need.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch

Today’s Holiday: Sukkot

Today’s Holiday:
Sukkot

In the Biblical account of their escape from Egypt, the Jews, led by Moses, wandered in the desert for 40 years. For much of the time they lived in huts, or sukkot, made of wooden frames covered with branches or hay. The festival of Sukkot commemorates this period in Jewish history. The traditional way of observing Sukkot is to build a sukkah and live in it during the seven-day festival. A major part of the festival is the four species: a palm branch, citron, three myrtle twigs, and two willow branches. These are tied together and waved at different points in the service.

Theodore Roosevelt Shot in the Chest While Campaigning (1912)

Article of the Day:
The Phonograph Cylinder

The first machine to reproduce recorded sound, the phonograph, was built by Thomas Edison in 1877. Edison’s “records,” as they were called, were first made of tin foil wrapped around cylinders. Since tin foil was not a practical recording medium for everyday use and commercial production, cylinders made of wax, and later plastic, were introduced and dominated the market until the advent of disc records in the early 20th century.

Watch “Georges Brassens — Une Jolie Fleur (Dans Une Peau D’vache) (VintageMusic.es)” on YouTube

Jamais sur Terre il n’y eut d’amoureux
Plus aveugles que moi dans tous les âges
Mais faut dir’ qu’ je m’étais crevé les yeux
En regardant de trop près son corsage

Un’ jolie fleur dans une peau d’vache
Un’ jolie vach’ déguisée en fleur
Qui fait la belle et qui vous attache
Puis, qui vous mèn’ par le bout du cœur

Le ciel l’avait pourvu’ des mille appâts
Qui vous font prendre feu dès qu’on y touche
L’en avait tant que je ne savais pas
Ne savais plus où donner de la bouche

Un’ jolie fleur dans une peau d’vache
Un’ jolie vach’ déguisée en fleur
Qui fait la belle et qui vous attache
Puis, qui vous mèn’ par le bout du cœur

Ell’ n’avait pas de tête, ell’ n’avait pas
L’esprit beaucoup plus grand qu’un dé à coudre
Mais pour l’amour on ne demande pas
Aux filles d’avoir inventé la poudre

Un’ jolie fleur dans une peau d’vache
Un’ jolie vach’ déguisée en fleur
Qui fait la belle et qui vous attache
Puis, qui vous mèn’ par le bout du cœur

Puis un jour elle a pris la clef des champs
En me laissant à l’âme un mal funeste
Et toutes les herbes de la Saint-Jean
N’ont pas pu me guérir de cette peste

J’ lui en ai bien voulu, mais à présent
J’ai plus d’rancune et mon cœur lui pardonne
D’avoir mis mon cœur à feu et à sang
Pour qu’il ne puisse plus servir à personne

Un’ jolie fleur dans une peau d’vache
Un’ jolie vach’ déguisée en fleur
Qui fait la belle et qui vous attache
Puis, qui vous mèn’ par le bout du cœur
