WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Of Shirts and Strips at American Digest
byVanderleunonNovember 15, 2021
The latest from Silkshop is that these shirts won’t be ready until November 30. I went by Silkshop this morning to see if I could get them sooner but they are a small shop and are “getting slammed by pre-holiday orders.” Once I get them I shall ship them as fast as I can put them in envelopes and take them to the Post Office.
In the meantime, I’ve taken a look at items that turn around more quickly and have gotten five samples*** of this bumperstrip in less than three business days.
I think these strips will also have a broad appeal…. especially at $5.00 each (shipping and postage included). What do you folks think?
*** I’ll send out these samples free to the first five readers to request one via vanderleun@gmail.com. (I’ll tell you all here when the five are gone.)
ALL GONE. SORRY. I’LL ORDER MORE BUT THE FIRST ARE SPOKEN FOR. THANKS.
Okay, ordered 100 more and they are due around Thursday or Friday of this week. Those go out for $5.00 each so let me know if you want one.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

$5 a pop is nothing compared to a gallon of gas in Cali.
Hard to mail Gerard a gallon of gas.
