We love going to Bosque Del Apache, about 2.5 hours from home. A lot of Sandhill Cranes winter there! (Not the most graceful flyers)

I'm now reading "The Eye of Vichy" (WW2 France).

I would have sworn "The cranes are at the shop" was a Resistance code phrase!

"Your brother does not like crepes suzette. Repeat. Your brother does not like crepes suzette."

While we were in Florida last year we stopped at a gas station. A destination Gas station Buckeyes. Our daughter is enamored with the place. When we came out this is what was patrolling the parking lot looking for handouts.

"The rabbit has left the hutch... "

Or Red Skelton's code phrase in A Southern Yankee (1948) ... "It's nice to be back among the magnolias again".

Man - can't believe I remember that line.

This from a guy who remembers the line, "I think I'll call it the wheel."

Ptoo-i!
We didnt' call it a "wheel"! (Back in those days, we didn't have a W yet.)

No,it was "I'll call it Fire".
