This is from 1944. A lot has changed, since then, for better and worse.
This is before the Republicans got “under God” added to the Pledge, and I notice the kids are saluting, which now is only for people in uniform, otherwise it’s hand on heart.
Modern Republicans would probably say this image is “Woke and DEI” and try to ban it.
Hmmm… lately I’ve been reading a couple Japanese authors, Akimitsu Takagi and Seishi Yokomizo, in case you’re interested. (Not all set in remote places, but part of the classic murder mystery genre within a very different culture from Agatha Christie.)
Any close reading of the subject of small villages shows they were/are hotbeds of murder
Yersinia pestis.
Black Death.
Comes in 3 flavors: Bubonic, Septicemic, Pneumonic.
THE PLAGUE
(Editing to add, because I checked, NOT what killed Gene Hackman and his wife, that was another rodent sickness, hantavirus.)

Oh yes, pixel phone, I didn’t even notice. Gonna edit. Thanks for fixing it!
I’m no dentist but his gums look in great shape!
I’m guessing… Tuesday?

I was hoping you were correct, but I don’t think so.

Now I’m gonna feel like a heel when I drink from mine or trumpet with it (it has a screw-off tip/mouthpiece).
Although I guess I was already a heel because I assumed it was “aftermarket” (from cattle killed for beef) and I also eat beef.
They’re perfectly capable of doing their job in a humane and legal way, they’re choosing not to do so. Would they get fired? Maybe, but that’s when you have grounds for a lawsuit or a story to sell the press.
Alas, the German Cockroaches have infested America.
We’re also infested with Drumpfs/Trumps, and now King Trump has built an American Gestapo
So, a GOP pollster that says “changing minds” is part of its polling process…
I’m not OP, but “bejabbers,” while it’s a mild swearword that could be used by anyone, was often associated with the Irish, and making fun of their speech patterns.
Stealing and parroting others’ work is what they both do best! And think of the savings!!!

Most adults I know who study a foreign language do so in order to speak it, perhaps visit that country. In languages that build words from letters, the phonemes are important to meaning. Obviously “heresy” is very different from “hearsay,” but sow and sow are different words that sound different, while sew and so are also different but sound the same. It’s especially important in order to appreciate literature, poetry, music, and jokes.
Personally I cut cubes first, makes freezing and thawing easier. Drain but don’t press. Spread in a layer until frozen, then you can put into a bag or container.
Yes, and I was also humorously referring to the entire murder-in-a-small-town genre, including Midsummer, Cabot Cove, Shetland, and innumerable villages and small towns in… Wales, South Africa, Australia, France, Norway, all over the rural US, in both present and past eras.
The insularity being a contributor to motives for murder, between land disputes, scandalous secrets being hidden until they fester, and people who don’t have the option or opportunity to get away…
I wasn’t referring to the horror/slasher genre, but some of those fit as well.
