I reviewed a book, “Magic WOrds,” about the Jewish translator and member of the Ponce, who were decimated on the Trail of Tears, during which Julius One-Tongue’s betrothes saves many, only to die herself.

You NAILED that one! America’s history is dark in many, many places. Even for a country based on values and honor, the blemishes have left their scars with some wounds running very, very deep.
Thank you for sharing that. It’s sad.

Unfortunately, sad but true! A lot of hardship and sadness in the founding of America!

Go to Settings. Click General Settings which is first in the Settings list. Scroll to the bottom and there is a box you can check for the snow. I think it runs out Jan 1.
