My favorite adaptation of the "Last of the Mohicans."



Forget about all of those movies. The best adaptation is "Hawkeye" from the 1990's starring the inimitable Lee Horsley and the sublime Lynda Carter! This schmaltz perfectly brought to life James Fenimore Coopers tales in the manner they deserved.

You had your noble redman. Your stalwart frontiersman.Your heaving bosoms. Your huge milky white heaving bosoms. Did you catch the scene were the mountain lion was mezmerized by Lynda's low cut wenches dress and her heaving fun bags? A classic I tells ya.

I do enjoy that period in American History and watch every movie, book or TV show that covers it. From classics like "Drums Along the Mohawk" to  like "Outlander" I am sucker for that era. I don't even sweat the foliage if there are Iroquois and Huron's and frontiersman. And of course heaving bosoms.

If you get a chance check it out.

Wonder Woman played by Linda Carter had the best plausible reason why she wasn't recognized as Diana Prince. Everyone was too distracted to look at her face.

How they survived at all, those pioneers in that dreadful endless forest country of upstate New York with its shivering fogs and pitiless Indians, is beyond me. Worst time of my life was a homeless period, well, it felt homeless, in Oneonta, where I felt swallowed up by the country. Every direction, swallowed up. Oh, we're not supposed to get personal? Nevermind.

Hey buddy get as personal as you want. No worries.

NY state forests are pretty bleak.

Oneonta. We played them in sports (Whitney Point) in high school. Endless bus ride on the two-lane roads from nowhere to the other side of nowhere. Bleak is a good description of upstate NY, especially the farther north you head, especially around this time of year. It's a good place to be from.

Speaking of no man's land,
and forests that aren't real
and films that aren't fully appreciated,
and heaving bosoms,
and missing fun bags
and enough wide open blog space to get as personal as one wants...

Has anyone been able to check in with Chip Ahoy to see if he's still alive and producing his own juice?

It was my understanding that Lem had turned the responsibility for running Levity over to ChipA in 2017, as it was ChipA who sent me the invitation in Sep of 2017 to join as co-contributor and provided the link needed to do so.

Has that responsibility been returned to Lem?
Are there costs involved that need to be met?
Who determines policy, changes the heading at the top and tidies up the place?
If there are others in comment land who wish to post, who is the current contact?

I'm not sure what can do but will see what I can come up with, though the likelihood of it being on the more serious side is very great.

Mama, consider it the Staked Plains and you are Charlie Goodnight.

As for heaving bosoms and Iroquois and Hurons and frontiersmen, you don't get any better than the French and Indian War.

In them thar days, the heaving bosoms were 'xposed.

Little known picture from outtakes of the movie.
