Oct 29th, 2017: Snoopy’s Base

♫ Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score ♪
♫ Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany ♪

♫ In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose ♪
♫ He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!" ♪

Did you ever wonder where Snoopy’s home field was.
Well, I’m here to edumacate you.







You’re welcome.

Snoopy's Base might also be Charles Shultz's home which burned down in the fires of a few weeks ago.

Living in the same neighborhood as Charles Shulz widow was a cartoonist named Brian Fies. He's drawn the story of their evacuation and loss that's really good. I recommend it highly.

Fies' story was in yesterday's Santa Rosa paper.
My granddaughter teaches at a pre-school just across the creek he mentions, perhaps a third of a mile from his burnt home.
Once they were able to reopen they discovered about one quarter of the staff and kids are homeless.

Yeah, like a war zone. Friends and neighbors who might help you if your house burned can't, they're in the same boat.
Friends of a friend lived in LA when Katrina was coming. They packed everything they could in the wagon and split for a relatives in GA. Their neighborhood was in about 9 ft of water so they couldn't go back. I bought the two kids bicycles because that's what they missed the most. If only adults were so easy to make happy.
