KATE SMITH'S 'GOD BLESS AMERICA'-HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE THIS SONG
This might sound a bit blasphemous on July 4th but back in the mid 70s I really hated Kate Smith-especially when she sang God Bless America.
This had nothing to do with a burning anti-American sentiment or a deeply rooted hatred of popular singers from the 1930s.

A LOST WEEKEND FOR A TIGER AND TWO CAMELS ON A ROAD TRIP
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to be a thief. Especially a thief with a set of values. A road trip for a tiger and his camel buddies was sidetracked last weekend when somebody boosted their ride. Thing were even more complicated because the animals were still in the trailer behind the stolen truck.
So what's a thief to do under these conditions?
