Something a little different. a short watery story you can read online if inclined. (What a Poet)
“I first met him one Fourth of July afternoon in the middle eighties. The sawdust streets and high board sidewalks of the lumber town were filled to the brim with people. The permanent population, dressed in the stiffness of its Sunday best, escorted gingham wives or sweethearts; a dozen outsiders like myself tried not to be too conspicuous in a city smartness; but the great multitude was composed of the men of the woods. I sat, chair-tilted by the hotel, watching them pass. Their heavy woollen shirts crossed by the broad suspenders, the red of their sashes or leather shine of their belts, their short kersey trousers "stagged" off to leave a gap between the knee and the heavily spiked "cork boots"--all these were distinctive enough of their class, but most interesting to me were the eyes that peered from beneath their little round hats tilted rakishly askew. They were all subtly alike, those eyes. Some were black, some were brown, or gray, or blue, but all were steady and unabashed, all looked straight at you with a strange humorous blending of aggression and respect for your own business, and all without exception wrinkled at the corners with a suggestion of dry humor. In my half-conscious scrutiny I probably stared harder than I knew, for all at once a laughing pair of the blue eyes suddenly met mine full, and an ironical voice drawled,"Say, bub, you look as interested as a man killing snakes. Am I your long-lost friend?"

General Sherman and Tecumseh in and near Lancaster,Ohio. ( Great Leader/Warriors from Ohio)
Take the time to explore the world at That’s My World Tuesday First a story (from the internet) just for fun.
Well, you may wonder what the above story has to do with My World Tuesday. To tell you the truth I did a little wondering/wandering myself, but this is what I came up with. The photo above is of the Shawnee Indian the Prophet whose brother was the great Shawnee Chief Tecumseh. Another great Tecumseh was General William Tecumseh Sherman whose home town is Lancaster,Ohio.
“The Sherman House Museum in Lancaster, Ohio is the birthplace of General William Tecumseh Sherman, his younger brother U.S. Senator John Sherman and home of the remarkable Sherman family. The Sherman House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.General Sherman was born February 8, 1920 and named William Tecumseh after the great Indian chief of the Shawnee but acquired the nickname Cump from his siblings. He was the sixth child born of what would eventually become eleven siblings, to Judge Charles and Mary Hoyt Sherman.” READ MORE If in Lancaster,Ohio make sure to visit the Sherman House Museum………… Well, on the Fourth Of July General Sherman portrayed by the civil war re-enactor/speaker Frank Bullock Bivouacked at Rising Park.
The tall handsome fellow (middle left photo) is General Sherman/Frank Bullock. He is holding a traditional Sherman cigar. During an important battle General Sherman would often smoke twenty or more cigars Ooops that might have been General U.S. Grant (from Point Pleasant,Ohio)…………………………………………………………………………….
About one hour from Lancaster near Chillicothe,Ohio you have Tecumseh! The Ultimate Outdoor Drama Experience. Click on this link for all the info and great slide show/photos by Mr. Joe E. Murray. (Visit his photo gallery) “Witness the epic life story of the legendary Shawnee leader as he struggles to defend his sacred homelands in the Ohio country during the late 1700’s. “Tecumseh!” has been labeled as one of the most mesmerizing dramas in the nation.” READ MORE.

Tybee Island is an island and city in Chatham County, Georgia near the city of Savannah in the southeastern United States.
After leaving the beach at Tybee Island Linda and I strolled the quaint streets of Savannah
On the way back to Hilton Head Island we stop for a bite to eat and a view of the marshlands.
We usually stay at Palmetto Dunes (great condos) if we are at Hilton Head. A quick stop at the Outfitters
Then we stroll back to our condo for the evening
Yes there is golf; Trent Jones,Fazio,Arthur Hill (none of them are easy) Well it has been a long day but finally we are back at our Condo on St. Andrews Ct.
One of my favorite places at Palmetto Dunes is the General Store. A great place to stop for a quick breakfast or lunch ( talking fried chicken ).. The Palmetto Dunes General Store even has a page on Facebook I follow.
