our opinions about the topic. This is an opportunity
for a community of curious souls to engage with
ideas with each other.
Topics: 
Fri., May 17: A life long learner
____________________________
Mini Museum @ Jackson
The City of Jackson had planned to be the last episode
of the mini-museum but in gathering patron opinions,
one opinion showed up for the fourth time.
A young patron wanted a display of "dogs".
As a result, from May 25-June 1, we will have
"All about Dogs."
The American Kennel Club recognizes 167-192 breeds
of dogs in the U.S. We had to settle for 20 breed
to illustrate.
Some topics we will share related to dogs:
Where did dogs come from? What breed is considered
the most intelligent? Do dogs have legal rights?
Suggested best breeds for kids and families.
And several other topics.
In researching this topic, this writer was surprised
that world-wide, scientists are still trying to decide
where and when humans first domesticated dogs.
Or, as one researcher phrased it, when did humans
first fall under the spell of dogs.

Staff Picks:

"Bohemian Rhapsody

"Darkest Hour with Gary Oldman"-
"I have long been a fan of Winston Churchill. However, as I watched the movie, it appeared that I was the only one who liked him. It helped that I knew the outcome and his contemporaries did not. This was the story of his first gig as Prime Minister at a time when not everyone knew about the true nature of Hitler. Churchill did not come to the position with a good reputation as a leader. To add to his woes, he was stubborn and did not take compromise lightly. In his dismay, he turned to the public and asked them directly, one-on-one, what they wanted for the country. To a person, they responded that they still wanted to fight the Nazis. Thus, his famous speech, "We shall fight on the beaches. We shall fight on the landing ground." Oldman convincingly captured Churchill's face and voice, so as an audience, I felt his conviction as if it were my ouwn country."-
Nancy, Jackson Branch
