The theme is as relevant today as it was when it was written and performed so many times since.
These mist covered mountains Are a home now for me But my home is the lowlands And always will be Someday you'll return to Your valleys and your farms And you'll no longer burn to be Brothers in arms Through these fields of destruction Baptisms of fire I've witnessed your suffering As the battle raged high And though they did hurt me so bad In the fear and alarm You did not desert me My brothers in arms There's so many different worlds So many different suns And we have just one world But we live in different ones Now the sun's gone to hell and The moon's riding high Let me bid you farewell Every man has to die But it's written in the starlight And every line in your palm We're fools to make war On our brothers in arms

Don’t be confused. Read On
Don’t be confused. Two different titles but the same story.
“The Yukon is a wonderful country for men and dogs, but it kills women and horses.” At least that was what Amy Wilson was told.
Entitled When Days are Long: A Nurse in the North, by Wilson, who was a registered nurse in the Yukon from 1949 to 1951. In its original release in 1965, the book was titled No Man Stands Alone, and the American release came out under the title A Nurse in the Yukon many years later.
Regardless of which version you might be reading, the story remains the same.
Amy Wilson, who had been a practitioner in various isolated communities in northern Alberta, was hired to fill the job of public health nurse along the Alaska Highway and in the Yukon caring for 3,000 indigenous people in an area covering 50 million hectares.
In 1950, northern roads were crude; Aircraft weren’t as reliable as they are today, and communications were far less sophisticated. Despite all these drawbacks, she provided care for the sick and ailing to the best of her ability, delivered with compassion and understanding.
This book is a great read, and I heartily recommend it.

Basking in Slimness
Me thinks the Goddess of Wine has put us on a diet.
The first offering in Mystery Case #12 actually has a Nutritional Label on the back!
Zero % Fat, Zero % Carbs, 0.4% Protein, and only 140 calories per ¾ cup. And 0 grams of sugar.
Full Flavour. crisp and refreshing.
OK so you’re supposed to act like a verb: and lie or relax in pleasant warmth or atmosphere; and revel in, and take pleasure and enjoyment. I can work with this.
Bask worked very well with grilled chicken thighs and roasted yam wedges and a cool coleslaw.
We will remind you to come back to this one next summer.
