Well, here’s one way of getting an Oscar pic on the blog
Wednesday, Nov 14, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’ve told you about my friend Rob Werden several times…
Rob lives near Prairietown, the home of the “World’s Fair.” As we’ve already discussed, Rob ran for Madison County Regional Superintendent this year to replace retiring incumbent Bob Daiber. You’ll recall that Daiber ran for governor as a Democrat. I didn’t bother to check on his race for some weird reason, but Rob defeated his Democratic opponent 52-48. Must’ve been those nifty yard signs. * Or maybe it was because Oscar fully endorsed his ol’ buddy. Here’s a silly pic of the two of them…  …Adding… Caption?

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do

Oscar the dog, shown here with friend Rob Werden, today announced his candidacy for Mayor of Chicago, joining the 41,087 others who’ve done likewise. Oscar predicted that he will do especially well with voters in Chicago’s “collar” counties.

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At he end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone

Maybe it could be the cover of a Christmas Album? With a song that starts with the lyrics; Do you see what I see…
I’m still working on it, but I’ll get back to you with more lyrics soon as I process this totally original idea.
