What is the latest on fixing loose wooden wheels?
A few months ago the 1926 Hudson wheels were getting so bad that I didn't want to drive the car without some sort of action.
My buddy & I removed the demountable rims and bored a small hole in the end of the spokes. Into that cavity, we repeatedly injected linseed oil and then plugged the hole with a bit of doweling. After a half a dozen such treatments over the course of a week, the rims were reinstalled and the were as tight as new.
One of my "pals," a bit of a smart alec, intoned that our remedy was doomed to failure, that the spokes would loosen up again. This past Saturday, I drove the car and did hear some clicking. Urrggghhh . . .
What now? The Hudson needs attention again and the 23 T has lots of loose spokes. Tinkering Tips has several solutions. One is shims on the end of the spoke were it meets the fellow. Some folks I know say this will work well, others say it will not.
Another solution that I was high on was soaking the entire wheel in 10% linseed oil & 90% turpentine for a week or so. Now I'm not so sure that would work. If full strength oil was temporary, how good could the mixture be?
Another pal recommended a special product intended for tightening joints in wooden furniture. One brand is something like "Titechairs." This fellow swears this is a permanent fix.
The wood is good in the wheels of both cars and I would hate to respoke. Both cars almost certainly still retain the factory wood, another reason to try repair rather than replace. What do you fellows think? Any words of wisdom? I'll bet there are lots of us who have some loose spokes to attend to.
For many years my back wheels had three steel shims hammered down between the spokes at the hub end which worked well. Eventually the spokes loosened up and the shims kept coming out. For one wheel it was sufficient to press down each of the holes in the felloe. The other wheel required washers to be put between spoke and felloe. They haven't loosened up since and are original dried out spokes with paint flaking off. One day I'll soak them in linseed oil and turps.
If you do soak your dried shrunken spokes in Linseed Oil and Turpentine solution, it will fill the pores and expand the wood...temporarily, but make sure it dries thoroughly (at least several weeks or even months), before putting back together. Chances are, your spokes will be exactly the same size as they were before the Linseed Oil treatment, but it won't last.
I once restored a Civil War musket which was shrunken with age. After several weeks in a solution of Linseed Oil and Turpentine, the gunstock had absorbed the Oil into it's pores so much that it expanded to its' former size. All the cracks closed and all th sunken pores assumed a smooth appearance. After drying for several days, I put it back together, all the parts fitting perfectly and as tight as they did in 1862. After getting it back together, I noticed it continued weeping Linseed Oil from the pores, so much so, that after several weeks, the formerly tight parts started to loosen. Eventually, the gunstock, while it had a nice, rich finish, was back to its' former size, open cracks, sunken pores and all. All of the Linseed Oil that had expanded the pores had all drained out. I believe that all of your spokes will do the same thing and shrink to their former size and you will be left in a more precarious situation than before, because when you press in the expanded spokes, it will compress the spokes, so when they do finally shrink back down, they will be even smaller and looser than before.
Tight spokes are essential to provide tremendous pressure to the steel ring in order to hold up the weight of the car and provide stable support, especially in turns, where the most danger of failure occurs, as sideways pressure is applied, as the car turns the corner. Loose spokes will almost certainly fail at some point resulting in catastrophic damage to your car and possibly you or others. Please do not take chances with your wheels. There is no safe way to expand shrunken wood to its' former size, especially when considering something so crucial as spokes. No matter what you do, it stays shrunk. In your case, with aged, shrinking wood, it would be best for you to install new, tight spokes and press them into place with a 3 ton press. Don't take chances with your wheels.
Good luck. Jim
I dismantled my loose wheel and installed punched washers to the outer ends of every spoke. The washers were made of 0.45mm galvd window flashing material, drilled undersize and punched so that the dowels also increased in diameter and the raw edge of the washer couldn't wear through the dowel.
This was 2 years ago and now, after many miles the wheel is still tight.
Paul, Band-Aids are only good to protect a wound while it heals. Dried out, worn, split spokes won't and can't heal; they need to be replaced.
I'm sorry to be so harsh, but as Jim said:" Don't take chances with your wheels. " Your safety and that of your passengers and others on the road is in your hands.
Don't let this happen to you:
Wow! This picture is worth a thousand words... plus one question. Did all four of the spoked wheels on this Model T fail at the same time? It looks to be sitting level. If so, it must have been like a domino effect, each wheel failing, one by one, due to the temendous tolerances placed on the spokes, as the car continued down the raod at crazy, suddenly changing angles. Scary! The poor driver was lucky to keep 'er on the road and upright.
That picture makes my Model A wheels look that much better!
Only the two rear wheels failed in that picture. The car is on a slight downgrade, which may explain why it looks level. He had just rounded a corner and we assumed the rough washboard surface of the road wreaked havoc with the loose spokes. What a time we had moving the car to the side of the road! James is right, the picture is worth a thousand words. After being there for that incident, the money spent for new spokes all of a sudden does not seem like very much. It sure is money well spent.
Paul- I had the same problem with loose spokes. Just one spoke a little loose at first, then gradually over the months more spokes loosening and the felloes getting loose until I was afraid to drive it. I was ready to pay someone willing to replace/rebuild the whole wheel for me, but couldn't find anyone! Even contacted someone in the Vintage Ford magazine who advertises as a wheelwright, but he advised me to "just buy a new wheel, it's cheaper". I was then fortunate enough to meet someone who offered to shim the spokes for me (25 thousanths washers placed at the felloe end of the spokes). Took 2 on every spoke, placed with the help of a special spreader he designed). It looks and feels like a new wheel now. Originally, I had my doubts. But I'm a believer now.
Jim, I was not there. They hit a bump on the gravel road and lost both rear wheels. The fronts remained together, but they probably need replacement as well.
I have conversed (I was going to use "spoken") with a few people who have lost wooden wheels and, yes, it IS scary. It does increase the "pucker factor".
BE SAFE!!! Bill
I remember a discussion regarding using oak laminate applied to the spokes where they contact each other at the hub. The spokes are then pressed together with a press. The hole for the hub is then also lined with laminate before the hub is replaced. I don't know how well this works, but would seem to be very tight and long lasting. I also have a set of 80 year old wheels that the wood appears good on, but they have some creaks audible while driving. I can wiggle a few of them. I won't use oak spokes, and the new hickory ones are twice the money. I would like to hear if the new hickory ones need additional tooling or will work as purchased. I have wire wheels on my 23 now, but am considering rebuilding my old, but fairly good, wood wheels. This would allow me to finish the 26 running chasis and look for a coupe body!
The laminate method works very well if you fill the space between the ends of the spokes and the hub. what I use for that job is tongue depressors which are driven in on both sides so it will keep the wheel round. If you don't fill the space between the center and the hub, it will work loose as you drive along. I always check before each tour and so far it has lasted for several years.
I've got cases of tongue depressors!
Gee, this thread has sure not been encouraging! Is there anything to loose trying this chair tite stuff? If the wheels are really trash anyway, maybe this untried remedy might offer some improvement. If the only other solution is shimming or replacing the spokes, the chair tite can't hurt anything.
I'm sort of surprised that no one has tried this before as it was listed in Tinkering Tips.
Paul, Test Pilot
The only thing to lose if the spokes aren't tight and safe is your life, or that of your passengers. In the model t era, cars were seldom driven over 25mph. I remember from reading that there was even a move to have a national speed limit of 25mph in around 1925. We drive these things at much higher speeds just cruising around town. Wooden spoke wheels support the weight of the axle (and vehicle) on only 2 or 3 spokes by compression. Wire wheels "hang" the hub on over half the spokes on the wheel. I'd hate to have a wheel come apart at 45mph! These cars don't handle high speed roll overs well at all. I've seen the results of people ejected from cars.
Noel Chicoine, MD
No argument there, I'm much in the same mind. The question is about this chair tite material that was recommended in Tinkering Tips. Either the stuff swells the wood long term and saves the wheel or any advantage is only temporary and the wheels will need rebuilding or replacing anyway.
That is the only question.
I have tightened spokes in wheels by first inspecting the condition of the wood, if satisfactory clean the spokes in a TSP solution or other wood stripper to remove paint and or grease etc. Then after the wood is completly dry, soak the complete set in raw linseed oil for about a week. then soak them for a short time in boiled (double or triple) linseed oil which will seal the surface and give you a base for varnish or paint. If the wheel has steel felloes. the spoke holes in the felloe should be what was called dimpled, which brings the diameter where the spokes contact the felloe back to spec or maybe somewhat less to compensate for spoke end wear. be sure to dimple the felloe equally to keep the felloe concentric with the hub. There are tools from the era to accomplish this, but I used sockets and a piece of all-thread. Using a large socket on the spoke side, larger than the O.D. of the spoke and a smaller socket (or heavy washer) inside the felloe flange on the spoke hole with a piece of all-thread slightly smaller than the spoke hole to pull the sockets together dimpling the felloe back to original shape, or slightly more, to allow for spoke wear. When re-assemblying, I used JB weld on the felloe end of the spoke to take up the wear clearance and embed the felloe to the spoke. Be sure to number the spokes when dis-assembling so they go back together as they were originally to avoid problems re-drilling the hub holes etc.
On the hub end of the spokes I have used very thin gasket material (.005" to .010") coated with non hardening permatex as shims between the tapered mating surfaces if needed. These also must be evenly spaced to keep the wheel parts as concentric and even as possible.
The tongue depressor shim method mentioned above may work because most tongue depressors are birch; a fairly dense wood that takes compression loads well. However, it has very poor decay resistance, so I would soak them in a wood preservative first. Rick A.
I have successfully tightened wheels in a way similar to what Stan described (the "dimpling", not the oil part), and think it works very well, only I did it on a hydraulic press. Since then, I have modified the process to do the same thing without taking the wheel apart. Rather than using the large socket on the spoke side, I have a couple of heavy pieces of steel shaped to fit around the spoke. These sit on the supports of the press and support the felloe. On the rim side (outside) of the felloe, I start with a socket that almost, but not quite, fits over the outside of the hole punched for the spoke nipple. Pressing that socket down compresses the hole to a bit smaller size. I usually use a succession of 2 or 3 consecutively smaller sockets. 6 point sockets seem to work a bit better than 12 point sockets. I then use a socket about the diameter if the spoke, or just slightly smaller than the opening in the support pieces. In pressing that socket down, it slightly dishes the felloe toward the spoke, tightening the spoke lengthwise without using shims. I can try to post some pictures later if anyone is interested. As Stan mentioned, there were era tools for doing this, and someone has posted pictures of them on one of the forums. From the picture, it looks like it would do the same job of dishing the felloe, but I don't think it would compress the hole.
We've never tried "Titechair" but we have tightened wooden wheels. In one case we coated both ends of each spoke with a white epoxy and then reassembled each wheel, wiping up the excess epoxy. These wheels have remained tight for about 10 years now. With another set of wheels we made shims using 0.040" brass stock and hole saws and inserted the shims between each spoke and the felloe. The spokes had been boiled in a 50/50 mixture of turpentine and linseed oil for several hours. When completely dry the spokes were sanded and 3 coats of urethane varnish applied. These wheels have also remained tight. All of these wheels needed to be assembled with a press. In all cases the wooden spokes were in good condition initially. I do agree that new spokes are best though.
I was going through the same problems with all of my spoke wheels (demountable 21's). When I started taking off the wheels to start with some type of method to tighten up the spokes, I found that all of my hub bolts and nuts were loose probably because the car was broght into a very dry climate. After tightening all of the hub bolts, all of the original wooden wheels are now tight.
I sent away to a company that produces "ChairLoc". I was going to use this item where the spoke end goes through the steel fello. I actually believe it will work after using it on some scrap wood. The problem is, I have been told by another poster, and the company that produces this product, that it is not water proof. In fact, to clean up any excess product, you use soap and water. This certainly makes it a problem in the application we are talking about. I have been trying to come up with a solution as to something to coat over the ChairLoc product to keep it waterproofed.
Hi Tom. I was reading this thread and got curious. My T came from wet Oregon, and I'm in Fresno...very hot and dry. My '15 has the original non demountable, wooden felloe wheels. Sure enough, several spokes were loose, particularly in the front wheels. I misted a very small amount of water over the wheels from an atomizer spray bottle, wiping off the excess. Within 5 minutes, the wheels were tight. Then, I checked the hub bolts. Just like you, I found all hub bolts to be loose. I tightened them up, and now, all appears okay. I would not have a problem with using Chair-Loc. In fact, I plan to use it. If the wheels get wet in the rain, even better. Originally, the wheels in these cars got wet all the time. I'm convinced that's what helped keep 'em tight! Good Luck!!
I recently rebuilt a wheel using an epoxy material used to "harden" wood for restoration purposes.
The material is a two part epoxy made by PC Products. This material sets slowly enough to allow the material to penetrate the cracks and porous wood.
After hardning I did a cleanup cut on the lathe to remove the drips and to true up the spokes. I built a jig to drill a .5 in hole, 3" deep, into each spoke. I turned 12 4" X .5" dowels from hickory which I inserted into the spokes using an industrial version of "SuperGlue" and hardner used by the woodworking trade.
I did shim the tapers with brass stock when assembling but the feloe ends were as tight as factory new. Once reassembled and tightened, (New hub bolts are a necessity) the wheel is as tight and true as new.
I also ran a destructive test on the new spoke dowels... Dowels broke at the top of the spoke on the repaired spoke just as the un-doweled spoke did.
I was getting ready for a Regional tour and had a problem with a rear wheel. I took the spokes out and glassed the flat areas and wraped a thread diped in reson around the nipples. After it all dried I spun the spoke in my lathe and turned the nipple to a tight fit in the hole and lightly sanded the glassed 15 degree area with my sander. That was 8 years ago and I do drive my car alot. The spokes in that wheel never have loosened up. I have alos built my own spokes and had good results. I am running aset of my wheels on My tourning car Picture is in the form pictures it is the Ice Cream wagon shown.
OH lordie I cannot waite to hear from borken winch
My 26 Touring also came from Oregon, and was moved to the High Desert north of Los Angeles. You could almost sit and watch the spokes shrink!
I may end up refinishing the spokes with some type of paint, varnish, or lindseed oil. I am wondering how much more any finish would tighten up the spokes?
When talking with the fellow who sold the ChairLoc, he told me that the stuff would washout if contacted by water. I would think that if you were to use this stuff, you would need to come up with something to waterproof it. Another Model T guy told me that he had used it with success, until he drove the car in the rain and all of the spokes became loose again.
Why wouldn't you use waterproof wood glue like Titebond II, Titebond III , or Gorilla glue?
Spar varnish will seal it if it stays tight and doesn't crack the varnish seal.
Spar Varnish or some type of paint would probably work. The ChairLoc is not really a glue. It swells the wood fibers, therefore causing the wood spoke ends to swell up tight against the fello openings.
I think it is time to do a little experimenting. I will take some scrap wood samples and apply different types of sealers to them and see if they will waterproof the ChairLoc.
Will report back with the findings.
Three years ago I had a demountable wheel with badly worn tenons. The spokes were quite loose and, when going around a corner, the wheel sounded like a rotating coffee can with a dozen bolts in it. I removed the spokes, cut off the worn tenons, drilled a 3/4 inch deep, 1/2 inch dia. hole where the tenon was and inserted a 1.5" hardwood dowell. I reassembled the wheel using two part epoxy on the tenons and at the parting lines in the hub. There was sufficient adhesive to bond the spokes to the hub faces too. This wheel is a rock! However, I recently learned from John Regan how to build a fixture to respoke wheels. This technique has proven to be so easy for me that I have "repaired" my last spoke system. From now on, I will replace the spokes with new ones. I just ordered a set of 48 hickory spokes from Langs for $7.50 ea. I also support the use of oak spokes and they are $5 each. If you use oak spokes, just don't drag your car sideways over a curb. Steve Boyd
Come to think of it, I once heard that glycerin could be used to swell an axe handle to keep it tight. And, glycerin is water soluble - Chair-Loc might be mostly glycerin?
Thanks guys, I have been following this discussion closely. With my very limited time & budget, respoking the wheels is not appealing at all. Also there is the originality factor. I'm striving everywhere to use Ford parts of the correct vintage to make this old T as close to correct as I can. If the wheels can be saved with Titechair or something of that nature, it is sure worth a shot.
Please do let us know of your tests Tom. The fact that this solution was written up in Tinkering Tips at some point indicates that somebody, somewhere had a go already. If they don't speak up, we'll just have to try it ourselves.
I just replaced three sets of spokes and was a bit sad because the ones I was taking out looked so good and solid -- just loose. One rear wheel would not come apart so I used the sawsall to cut out a few of the spokes. I cut them near the falloe and the wood was good and solid. When I grabbed the spokes to pull them out of the hub, they literally fell apart. Turns out they were suffering dry rot at the hub. I will have three wheels done tomorrow and am keeping a wary eye on the fourth. Judging from the look and feel of the old spokes I would have never believed they were already ready to collapse. The point is, don't judge on appearance or "shaking" because the real danger can be well hidden behind the last paint job.
Ditto the hidden danger!
If you want to test the spokes, hit them, as hard as you can, near the hub with a large rubber mallet. If they're good, the mallet will just bounce back. If not, you'll be sweeping up pieces of wood in your garage instead of the side of the road.
I needs some info on wire wheels...
1. Speedster wire available on a 1923 Runabout?
2.Difference between Speedster wire wheels and 1926-27 wire wheels
3.Will 1926 -27 wheels fit a speedster
A speedster is made with any thing you want, so any wheel is or could be a "speedster wheel".
Many Model T speedsters have original Model T wire wheels. These were only supplied by Ford in 1926 and 1927 modle years. There were no factory Ford wire wheels in 1923.
There were dozens of brands of aftermarket wheels. Some are special wood wheels, others are disc wheels. Many aftermarket wheels were wire wheels. These special wheels were available from 1909 onwards. It would fill thousands of pages to tell you about each type.
Speedsters are often seen with wheels originally made for other types of cars, from Model A Ford wheels to 1929 Chevy wire wheels. that's the nice thing about a speedster, you can use anything and it is "correct" because that is what a speedster is for, to reflect what you want.
Tom Lawthers,what is the results of your testing?
Glad someone brought this thread back as I am noticeing a intresting strange problem with the front wheels of my 1 ton.
From what Royce says a speedster is a street rod Nelson
I hate to say it, but after getting the spokes tight again by tightening up the hub bolts, I never got back to any experimenting with the "Chairloc" stuff.
Besides working six days a week, I have been busy with a MG restoration.
Thanks for reminding me about this subject. I will be getting back to a normal work schedule here by the end of the year, so I will try and devote some time to seeing what can be done with waterproofing the Chairloc. In any case, I need to get back to the T again and get some things done.
I will post my results on the forum.
That "Chairloc" stuff as Tom calls it does work, but if there is a lot of varnish or paint on the spokes it probably will not work very well.
I usually unscrew the center hub bolts and use a small portable hydraulic press to force the spokes apart and insert shims cut to the size of the ends of the spokes (the flat part). I use a very hard paper called "fish paper" by the electrical world. I think it is about 10 or 15 thousands tickness.
If the spokes are only slightly loose, ever other spoke usually does it. If the center on the hub is loose after this, I fabricate a metal ring and insert it to take up the space. After this I give the spoke ends and the center a generous helping of chairloc and bolt the center back together.
If the spokes are VERY LOOSE and the ENDS are worn to a point, I DO NOT TRY TO TIGHTEN THEM, I REPLACE THEM. This center shim procedure also works on wood felloe wheels
The spoke ends must be tight in the steel felloe.
DO NOT try to build up the ends, your LIFE and YOUR FAMILY is worth more than that I think.
One should not be content with just the appearance of a spoke. I had a number of spokes begin to loosen on the back wheels of my car. They were beautiful, having been painted by an expert in 1972. I was going to shim them, but then thought I should check them out try to get them totally tight again. When I took the wheel apart, I was pulling the first spoke out when it dissolved in my hand. Then, a number of those which followed did the same. Turned out that even though they looked great on the outside, they were totally dry rotted on the inside.
If I had tightened them with shims, it would have only been a matter of time until the back of my car looked like the picture above. After discovering that, I took the front wheels apart and found the same thing. That really put the scare in me. While we focus on figuring out a way to shim them and not spend $120 a wheel to replace them, the wheels are near the top of the list in terms of safety and God help us if one of the front wheels decides to collapse, even at a low speed. I will never shim another spoke. If they act loose, I want to know their total condition before trusting my well being, along with others in the car or on the highway, to what could be a very bad problem.

Kuhn MDS 12.1 D2
Smooth, Consistent Performance
Multi-Disc System (MDS)
The MDS spreading discs provide consistent performance during standard spreading, late top spreading, as well as yield optimized spreading at field boarders. For your comfort, all this is possible at set working widths without removing, or changing the discs or paddles.
The MDS provides high application rate accuracy as well as exact spreading patterns for different fertilizers, and common crop and forage seeds. Depending on the type of material and the working width, the length and orientation of the paddles can be adjusted precisely with the tool provided. Thanks to their well-marked, three-dimensional position indicator, you can set the paddles quickly and easily.
M1 discs are included as standard, for working widths from 33’ – 59’. The installation of optional X paddles allows a working width of 60’ – 80’ in many products, without diminishing the spreading quality. X paddles supplied as standard with MDS 19.1, along with M1 Discs.
A slowly rotating agitator (only 180 rpm) provides a regular flow of fertilizer to the spreading discs without damaging the granules and without clogging the outlets. The longevity of the components is ensured with the 100% stainless steel hopper bottom, agitator shaft and outlets. Specialty agitators are available for powdery products or grass seed.
The Double-Overlap Method
The double-overlap method doubles your protection against over or underapplying product by taking advantage of the natural spread pattern created by KUHN twin-disc fertilizer spreaders. The triangular spread pattern provides consistent distribution, which reduces the impact of driving error or improper adjustments. Utilizing this method, KUHN spreaders provide high-accuracy spreading.
Accurate Application Rate Control
Nothing could be simpler than changing the application rate from one field or product to another. It’s easily done by positioning an opening stop on the continuous proportional direct flow control (DFC) scale. With this, you can modify the application rate without any extra equipment. The principle is quite simple: The opening position is modified by the same percentage as the application rate. This means, for example, that you increase the opening by 10% for a 10% higher application rate.

Zac Brown Band is a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, southern rock group lead by front man, Zac Brown along with Jimmy De Martini (fiddle), John Driskell Hopkins (guitar), Clay Cook (guitar), Chris Fryar (drums), Coy Bowles (guitar), Daniel de los Reyes (percussion) and Matt Mangano (bass guitar). Since their debut, Zac Brown Band has developed a reputation with critics and fans alike as one of the most dynamic live / studio acts, marked by strong musicianship and a creative range that defies genre boundaries. The New York Times said it best when they described the band’s work as “a huge amalgam of soft rock, country-rock, hard rock, heavyish metal, big band music, bluegrass and, yes, a touch of electronic music,” in their official review of the band’s JEKYLL + HYDE.
Zac Brown Band’s most recently released digital single titled “Leaving Love Behind,” is out now and available across all digital streaming platforms, and marks Zac Brown Band’s first new release since “Someone I Used To Know” debuted on Billboard’s Hot Country Song Chart in November 2018, eventually going on to win the band a 2019 CMT Award for Group Video of the Year. Both singles are featured on Zac Brown Band’s upcoming sixth studio album, The Owl, to be released via BMG on Sept. 20, 2019. The Owl will be available on vinyl, CD and download across digital streaming platforms and is currently available for pre-order.
Following the release of “Someone I Used To Know” in November of 2018, Zac Brown Band toured its spring 2019 “Down The Rabbit Hole Live Tour,” through April 2019. The tour followed 2018’s epic, 31-stop summer tour which included Boston’s Fenway Park. The band played two sold out shows there, extending their venue record to nine consecutive sold out shows, only to top it yet again, when they sold out an additional two, back to back, concerts on their current run – upgrading the record to ten consecutive sold out shows at Fenway Park. On the heels of their Summer 2018 Fenway Park shows, The Boston Globe said, “Zac Brown Band has amassed its stadium-filling following for being unpredictable, a combination of its musical chops and seemingly endless desire to please crowds.” To cap it off, the band is currently touring its summer 2019 “The Owl Tour,” in support of their upcoming new album release. “The Owl Tour” is Zac Brown Band’s third consecutive national tour over the course of one year.
Throughout their decade-long career, Zac Brown Band has had five consecutive albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and four consecutive albums debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. To date, they have sold more than 30 million singles, 9 million albums, have achieved 15 No. 1 radio singles and are the second act in history to have topped both Country Airplay and Mainstream Rock Songs charts. They took the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart during their 2015 collaboration with the late Chris Cornell on “Heavy is the Head.”
The band released their debut major label studio album, certified 5x platinum, The Foundation, in 2008 featuring their hit debut single, “Chicken Fried.” Since then, the band has released four studio albums (You Get What You Give, 2010; Uncaged, 2012; JEKYLL + HYDE, 2015; Welcome Home, 2017), two live albums (Live From Bonnaroo, 2009; Pass The Jar, 2010), a greatest hits compilation (Greatest Hits So Far, 2014), and an extended play produced by Dave Grohl (The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1., 2013).
In 2013, Zac Brown Band became a three-time Grammy Award-winning musical act when they accepted the honor for Best Country Album (Uncaged), following their previous wins for Best New Artist in 2010 and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 2011 for their song “As She’s Walking Away (feat. Alan Jackson).” Another standout achievement among the band’s extensive list of accolades, is their 2016 acceptance of the Recording Artists’ Coalition Award in Washington D.C. for their musical achievements and commitment to philanthropic causes.
Zac Brown Band is represented by William Morris Endeavor, SB Projects, communications and branding agency JONESWORKS, & Zac Brown Collective.

REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn
Born 1606, Died 1669.One of the great Dutch painters and printmakers of the 17th century, Rembrandt van Rijn is best known for his expressive use of light and shadow (also called chiaroscuro) in his many portraits. Raised in Leiden, he studied with Pieter Lastman (1583-1633) in Amsterdam, then returned to Leiden around 1625 and set up shop as a teacher and portrait artist. Sometime between 1630 and 1632 Rembrandt relocated to Amsterdam, where he spent the rest of his career. Though he had his detractors (some of whom considered him coarse and "low born"), Rembrandt was successful and famous during his lifetime, though he fell on financial hard times in his later years. He was a master printer and produced hundreds of group portraits and historical paintings, including The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp (1632), The Military Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq (1642) and Aristotle with a Bust of Homer (1653). His portraits -- including a lifelong trail of intriguing and rather frank self-portraits -- reveal his interest in psychological study and continue to be admired as landmarks in Western art. The Military Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq is also known as "The Night Watch" because it was thought the painting depicted a nighttime scene. When the painting was cleaned in the 1940s it became obvious that it depicted a daytime scene... He married Saskia van Ulenburgh (also Uylenburgh) in 1634.

Tuscany ca.1350 Joris van Son
1623-1667) was a highly popular Flemish Baroque painter of fruit and flowers, in banquet style on a plank, but also in garland form.
He seems to have been influenced by Jan Davidszoon de Heem, since his subjects follow his style quite closely. According to Houbraken his paintings were prized for preserving summer plenty in the middle of winter. In a poem by Cornelis de Bie, it is written that his fruits would tempt a pregnant woman. His paintings hang in many european museums, and the Dutch RKD has over 70 known works by him on record. He signed his works JORIS VAN SON. His students were Frans van Everbroeck, Jan Pauwel Gillemans II, and Norbert Montalie.Pehr Horberg
was born January 31, 1746 in Virestad parish in Småland, Sweden and died January 24, 1816 in Risinge in Östergötland, Sweden, was a Swedish artist, painter and musician. In 1769 he married the maid Maria Eriksdotter and they had three sons.
Pehr Hörberg birthplace Virestad is a small town and a village in Älmhult Municipality in Kronoberg County, in Småland, Sweden. It was formerly the central area of the old Virestad parish. The church in Virestad was built of stone 1799-1800 on the site of a former medieval church. Some of its treasures include a pulpit from the 1600s and an altarpiece by Pehr Hörberg. He died in Falla in Hällestad Bergslag, where he owned 1/4 of the homestead, and part of the village Olstorp, in Risinge parish, where he also owned 1/4 of the homestead. Both the fourth in Falla in Hällestad and the fourth in Olstorp in Risinge were mining districts estates, located in Finspång Municipality in Östergötland County. Hörberg got his "huts in an aiding position", so to his own satisfaction that he 25 years later wrote about Olstorp and the farm in Falla, that he had later acquired, that the estates were very importat for him.

Since Reagan, Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama all had larger margins of victory over their opponents in the Electoral College than Trump.
Trump defeated Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton by 304 to 227. Obama and Bill Clinton had larger margins of victory than Trump in all of their elections.
"Why should Americans trust you?" NBC's Peter Alexander asked after mentioning the fact. In response, Trump said he was simply "given that information."
"I was just given that," the president said, earlier revising his statement and saying it was the largest win of any Republican since Reagan, which was also untrue. Bush's 1988 victory was by a wider margin.
"Well, I don't know. I was given that information," he went on, adding his win was "a very substantial victory."
"Would you agree with that?" Trump asked.
"You are the president," Alexander responded.
"OK, thank you," Trump said. "That is a good answer."

Singer, songwriter and musician Evan Ballard suffered greatly from bipolar disorder in his youth, and was unable to focus long enough to get anything recorded or distributed. Now a husband and a father, Evan has released his 1o track album, simply entitled “Lo”. The album meanders through shades of rich, luscious and warm soundscapes filled with engaging organic instruments, where acoustic pianos and guitars flourish in heavenly arrangements. It renders an unusual blend of alternative folk, art-pop, ambient and soul flavors. The common denominator, and element which ultimately elevates this album to a higher level, is without doubt Evan Ballard’s striking celestial voice.
At once powerful, yet still vulnerable “Lo” showcases Evan Ballard’s eloquent songwriting: profound and poetic, emotional and soulful, articulating life’s most complex feelings in a way we can all understand. Evan’s careful balance of sincerity, his ability to direct and unfold his narratives, and his savvy approach to building mosaic melodies make his music intoxicating. To sound this comfortable, Evan has obviously crafted the exact right album, at the exact right juncture of his life.
A truly great songwriter who tells stories which totally engage the listener, Evan Ballard is definitely one of those artists that makes the music he wants to make, and which is really a cut above the rest of his class. From the moment the dazzling high register of his crystalline voice, erupts on the album opener, “Whole” ft. Lois Ballard, you will be completely hooked to this album, and especially to Evan’s voice. This is a talent who deserves a huge following.
Riding in upon the sweetly picked notes of an acoustic guitar Evan Ballard gently leads into “Home”, where he also forges an impressive falsetto. “Favorite Song” is an absolute standout, and also features a dominant acoustic guitar, which is surrounded by rich horn motifs and an expansive music arrangement. This track would not sound out of place on any mainstream radio right now. It has a faint REM-like aesthetic, which gives it a strong nostalgic magnetism.
The piano driven, “The Time it Takes”, is another highlight, which forges all of the soul and captivating timbre of Evan Ballard’s vocals. His high register is infallible and built entirely on the premise of exquisite gorgeousness.
All of which is confirmed and surpassed on the sublime and slow-burning beauty of “A Part of Me”. Evan’s layered harmonies wash over “Moths” which is driven by the steady piano, emotional strings and a thumping drum beat. It’s another affecting performance to add to the series.
This is followed by the wistful “Never Say Goodbye”, and the resonant piano power of “Another Song About Death” w. Josh Frigo, where the harmonies truly enchant. “Almost Over” traps you in its lilting melodic currents and its achingly affective narrative. Evan Ballard’s melodic sensibility is way above par, even when he is transitioning a fairly plaintive arrangement such as album closer, “To Say Goodnight”. His voice is clear, pure, floating above the storyline.
It might have taken a long time for Evan Ballard to finally launch his recording career, but “Lo” proves that it was well worth the wait. He is an extraordinary vocal talent and a superb songwriter. Whether or not he desires, or achieves, the success he deserves, matters not. What matters most, is that we are able to share the wonders of Evan Ballard talents.

Nearly two years after it was razed to the ground, work on the construction of the Krumbiegel memorial, inside the Lalbagh Botanical Garden, has finally begun.
The reconstruction of the historical monument began in the second week of July, even though the Horticulture Department had initially said that it would begin early this year.
“One of the reasons for the delay is that we wanted to ensure that the reconstruction was true to the original structure in all aspects including dimensions and the colour of the facade,” said department officials.
The original 100-year-old Krumbiegel Lecture Hall was demolished after a portion of it collapsed during the rains in 2017.
At the time, the department was severely criticised for failing to protect an important part of Bengaluru’s history, after which officials decided to erect a memorial to G.H. Krumbiegel.
The new structure is coming up at an estimated cost of ₹98 lakh and is expected to be completed in 11 months.
Keeping the old design in mind, the Archaeology Department said the new structure will be identical to the old Krumbeigel Hall.
It will host a 100-seat amphitheatre and a virtual museum with audio-visual aides for visitors.
“A 20-minute short film on the history, horticultural richness, and the importance of Lalbagh, in both Kannada and English, will be screened for visitors at the amphitheatre,” said M. Jagadeesh, Joint Director (Parks and Gardens), Lalbagh.
Mr. Krumbiegel contributed immensely to the development of Lalbagh when he was the superintendent of the botanical park. He is also credited with developing and planning various other avenues in the city.
He had also left his mark as the curator of botanical gardens in other cities of the country including Mysuru, Ooty, and Baroda. He was intricately connected to the lecture hall, which then became a gardeners’ training institute. It became vacant after the new building was constructed for the institute, and over the years gave way to neglect.
The new virtual museum will feature the life, works, and achievements of G.H. Krumbeigel, Mr. Jagadeesh added.
Alyia Phelps-Gardiner Krumbiegel, the great granddaughter of Mr. Krumbeigel, will be visiting Lalbagh in the first week of August and take stock of the construction work.

Posted by Blur Studio, the visual effects and 3D animation company co-founded by Deadpool director Tim Miller, the Kickstarter post credits backers who have pledged more than $441,000 to resurrect The Goon at now Disney-owned 20th Century Fox, where the project is "officially in development."
The contributions allowed Blur to "finish a full storyboard animatic of the film, complete with amazing voice acting, sound design, and music," a template that "sold the producers and studio on the potential of The Goon," the update reads.
Joining Powell and David Fincher (director, Fight Club, Gone Girl) as producers are The Chernin Group, who backed Fox's revamped Planet of the Apes trilogy, Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion, the Hugh Jackman-led Greatest Showman, Jennifer Lawrence starrer Red Sparrow, and J.R.R. Tolkien biographical drama Tolkien.
The supernatural-tinged crime-slash-horror comic follows the titular mob enforcer and psychopathic sidekick Franky, who encounter everything from zombies and mutants to ghouls, aliens, skunk-apes, and gang leaders.
A film was first entered into development in the summer of 2008, with Blur and Fincher announced as producers on the Powell-penned project. Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption, SpongeBob SquarePants) was announced as the voice of the Goon with Paul Giamatti (Sideways, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) announced as Franky.
Blur launched the crowdfunding effort and its goal of $400,000 in late 2012. In 2017, when appearing on Comic Book Shopping, Miller called Powell's script "f—king great."
"Normally in these things in Hollywood, the creators are often pushed aside. We didn't want to do that. We brought Eric right in, and Eric wrote the script, and it's great. It's just a hard one, because it's not Disney, it's not G-rated. So it took a while," Miller said, promising the movie "will happen" and the creative team has "never given up."

A government-commissioned report looked at the collapse of MG Rover
Creditors and former staff of MG Rover could have to wait for another 12 months before receiving any money owed to them, the BBC has learned.
The business, based in Longbridge, Birmingham, folded in April 2005, leaving debts of more than £1bn. Up to 6,000 staff lost their jobs.
Some creditors have been repaid but liquidators said their investigations into repayments had been "lengthy".
A former staff member said the wait was "totally unjust".
Peter Plisner, West Midlands Transport Correspondent
Former MG Rover workers form the bulk of the creditors to the collapsed company.
About 5,000 of them are owed money in lieu of redundancy entitlements. Some of the workers are in need of it.
Many are unemployed or in jobs that pay much less than they were earning at Longbridge.
According to figures released to the BBC, the average worker is owed £9,000, although the money they will receive will be less than that.
Soon after the collapse administrators suggested unsecured creditors were likely to get back 5p for every pound they were claiming.
The good news is that two payments totalling 6p in the pound have been made and a further payment is due.
Unfortunately, that payment will not be made until MG Rover is wound up and that may not happen for another 12 months.
Paul Inett said: "It is totally unjust we have been waiting for so long. People have suffered hardship."
About 6,000 people are still waiting to be paid, the BBC understands.
BBC West Midlands transport correspondent Peter Plisner said that according to documents he had seen, administrators had managed to get back £100m and some payments had been made.
Rob Hunt, an MG Rover liquidator, said it had not been easy and it was a complex case.
"The focus of our work over the last few years has firstly been recovering value from overseas assets.
"Secondly, dealing with over 6,000 claims worth £1bn," he said.
"Thirdly, we have a number of claims which we have to provide for and are not yet fully resolved."
He added that liquidators had always known it would be a long-running process.

The shares of Petrobras have another bullish day on the Stock Exchange. The ordinary shares of the state-owned company, PETR3jumped 0.91%, to R$ 29.82, while the preferred ones, PETR4, rose 0.98%, to R$ 26.71, at 11:30 am this Friday (26). In the year, assets accumulate increases of 18.5% and 22.5%, respectively.
According to analysts, the optimism with stocks in recent weeks is due to four factors:
- disclosure of the new pricing policy for fuels;
- positive result in the first quarter of 2023 (1Q23);
- announcement of dividends in the amount of R$1.89 per share; It is
- local mood improvement.
On May 16, Petrobras announced a new fuel price policy, which put an end to subordination to the import par price.
The analyst of Empiricus ResearchRuy Hungary, says that, despite being “a little gray”, the measure excluded a scenario of selling below cost price, which would imply “big losses”.
Júlio Borba, analyst at Benndorfalso points out that the policy removed a greater perception of risk from the market in relation to the new management of the state-owned company.
He also points out that the performance of the shares is linked to Petrobras’ profit of BRL 38 billion in 1Q23, disclosed at the beginning of the month. In addition to the second highest profit in history for a first quarter, the drop in lifting cost and dividends of R$ 24.6 billion were the highlight of the balance sheet.
In addition, analysts associate Petrobras’ highs with the optimism of the local market. B3’s main reference index, the Ibovespa (IBOV) high sum of 5% in the accumulated of the month.
Will you go higher?
The Empiricus analyst claims that Petrobras shares already embody “quite great pessimism”, trading at less than 3 times earnings. “All it takes is for the new dividend policy and the new investments not to be too displeasing for shareholders to continue profiting from the thesis”, he says.
The state-owned company has the potential to provide returns to its shareholders via capital gains or through dividends, according to Hungary.
Borba, from Benndorf, also points out that keeping fuel prices close to market prices and a good diligence of investments are also great drivers of value to the thesis.
On the other hand, the risks for the company stem from possible political interference that harm the results, evaluate the analysts.
They highlight possible uncontrolled investments with no prospect of good returns, significant interference in fuel prices and the payment of only mandatory minimum dividends.
Is it worth taking a position in Petrobras?
Empiricus has a Buy recommendation on the shares of Petrobrasbut focusing on dividends.
“Even considering a worsening in capital allocation and dividend policy, the company should still deliver good yields for the shareholders”, says Hungary.
Benndorf, on the other hand, downgraded the state-owned company’s assets to “neutral”, with a target price of R$32. attractive in the medium term.
“We prefer to wait for the next movements of the new management to define whether we have a more optimistic bias with the marry“, says Borba.

San Antonio Proposal Could Bar Christians From City Council
Churches across San Antonio are expressing outrage over a proposed anti-discrimination law that would protect LGBT workers but would not provide a religious exemption and would effectively prohibit anyone who opposes homosexuality from holding public office or getting a city contract.
The proposed change would add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the city’s discrimination ordinance. It would protect gays, lesbians, transgender, and veterans – a move that had critics accusing the council of playing politics with the military.
“No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, age or disability,” the ordinance reads.
Critics argue that the ordinance could ban Christians who believe homosexuality is a sin from serving on the city council.
They also believe the ordinance would also ban the city from doing business with anyone who fails to espouse politically correct views and businesses run by people of faith would be subject to criminal penalties if they refused to provide services that conflict with their religious beliefs related to homosexuality.
“It’s extremely dangerous,” said Ken Klukowski, of the Family Research Council. “This is a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution and the San Antonio City Council looks like a bunch of anti-Christian activists.”
Klukowski said if the council approves the ordinance they would be guilty of “viewpoint discrimination.”
“If it’s passed, any person who has either expressed any belief in favor of traditional marriage or in terms of Judeo-Christian morality regarding sexuality in general, verbally or in writing, could be barred from participating in public life on that city council,” he told Fox News.
Councilman Diego Bernal and Mayor Julian Castro are pushing for the proposed changes.
“To say that you agree with this ordinance,” Castro told the San Antonio Express-News, “is to say that you do not believe that someone who is gay or lesbian ought to be discriminated against in the same way that an African American or a Hispanic or a woman shouldn’t be discriminated against.”
Bernal did not return telephone calls seeking comment. But he told the Express-News that he did not play politics by including veterans in the ordinance.
“No one wants to vote against veterans — I get that,” he told the newspaper. “I didn’t include veterans to be some sort of shoehorn or Trojan horse for another group.”

CHELTENHAM — It was fitting that after Mount St. Joseph’s only two regular season losses came to Cumberland Valley and Spring-Ford, a loss to the very same Spring-Ford team would set up the Magic for a state playoff game against the only other team which defeated them this year.
Unfortunately, for the Mount, there would be no revenge handed out to Cumberland Valley in the rematch of the two teams.
The Magic watched as their season came to an end following a 35-34 loss to the Eagles, who went up early and trailed until the end in a PIAA Class AAAA first round playoff at Cheltenham High School on Friday night.
The Mount made several pushes for a comeback in the second half, but ultimately came up short, as its hopes at playing for a state title quickly faded.
“The first game of the year was no factor, but we kind of knew each other a little bit because we played each other two years in a row,” Mount coach John Miller said.“This game showed the characteristic of this team this year, never giving up.This was really our first close loss of the year.It seemed like we kept winning all the one-point and overtime games the entire season, so it’s always hard to lose like we did tonight.”
The Magic got the first basket of the game, but it didn’t take very long for the District Three’s fifth-seeded Eagles (23-6) to go on top, eventually outscoring MSJ 15-9 in the first quarter.
After the Magic were able to keep things close in the second and third quarters, remaining within two possessions going into the fourth, they got a surprising spark off the bench from sophomore Mary Kate Ulasewicz, who drained a three-pointer to give MSJ some momentum.A minute later, junior Carly Monzo hit a basket while getting fouled to bring the Magic to within three points.
A basket by junior Alex Louin in the final minute brought the Magic to within one, at 35-34, which was as close as the Mount had been since the opening minutes of the contest.
Following a turnover by the Eagles with only 3.3 seconds remaining, the Magic had one last chance to win the game, but a miracle three-point attempt missed high and Cumberland Valley was able to hold on for the victory.
“We realized we were a different team than when we played them before,” Louin said.“We were playing more composed and had more confidence in this team.At the end, I think our defense really kept us in the game and everybody stuck their man and didn’t let anybody get free.I think a couple shots, a couple calls went our way and it could’ve been ours.”
“We just couldn’t execute and get a good shot up at the end,” Miller said.“But once again, it was really characteristic of our team to never give up.We just ran out of time.”
The Magic were led by Louin’s 11 points and seven rebounds.Monzo added eight points, four rebounds and two blocked shots, while Ulasewicz added five points.Senior Meg Geatens added five points and three rebounds.
Despite the loss, Miller, whose team won the Catholic Academies League championship last month, is still very happy with this team’s performance this year.
“We went undefeated in our league and it’s a very tough league,” Miller said.“We went all the way to the district championship game in quad-A when we’re really a three-A team.We lost to a very good team tonight by one point and they have three Division I players.I’m extremely proud of the girls.”
The Magic finished their season with an overall record of 26-4 and will return three starters — Louin, Monzo and freshman Libby Tacka — to next year’s team.
“Next year, we just want to come back and make a run in states,” Louin said.“We have a lot of returning players and I think this team has a lot of potential.”

(July 2, 2019 – Beaumont, Texas) Beaumont Animal Care would like to remind everyone that while you are out having fun with your family this 4th of July, remember your pets and to keep them safe this holiday. According to Matthew Fortenberry, Animal Services Manager, “The day after the 4th of July is one of our busiest days of the year with people looking for their lost pet that ran away during a fireworks display”. Many animals are “sound sensitive” and try to run and hide or “escape” from the loud explosions associated with fireworks.
Beaumont Animal Care offers these tips to help keep your pet safe:
– Make sure that your dog or cat has on an identification tag, either rabies or name tag.
– If your pet is micro-chipped this is a good time to make sure the chip is registered with your current address and phone number.
– Leave your pet home when going to fireworks shows.
– Move outside pets indoors during the fireworks displays.
– If your pet does stay outside make sure the fences and gates are secure.
– Provide a crate or kennel for your dog and possibly cover it with a blanket for security.
– For inside pets turn on music or a fan to block out the fireworks outside.
– And lastly, do not shot guns in the air. This is dangerous for both animals and people.
Remember these few tips and have fun this 4th of July. In the event that your animal does escape, monitor local social media sites and please call your local animal control first thing on July 5th. In Beaumont, you may call (409)838-3304.

In a strange and wonderful happening, award winning, globally published poet Charles Bane Jr. read my book! His words are below.
There is a strong narrative line of young people’s literature from Great Britain that courses over empire and into the modern day. You can trace it with your finger, from Lewis Carroll to Kipling, to William Golding, and J.K. Rowling. The Summer Sacrifice by Holly Hinton takes its rightful place beside them. Hinton exceeds Rowling in her grasp of the fragility of the adolescent psyche. The present world is often terrifying to a sensible adult. Hinton reflects its effect on youngsters in a powerfully imagined world that hums with poetry. In its pages, in the words of Yeats, a terrible beauty is born.
Adolescents are in search of identity. Hinton grasps it, profoundly, and in The Summer Sacrifice, a character can morph into something longed for and realize “the significance of her growing reflection just in time…I found you, nose…I quite like you face.” Herein lies empathy, barreling adventure and an iconic heroine, Jamie Tuff.
But herein also lies the greatness of British storytelling and proof that it is imperishable.
Charles Bane, Jr., award winning author of The Chapbook, and Love Poems; creator of The Meaning Of Poetry series for The Gutenberg Project, and nominee as Poet Laureate of Florida.

I’ve always been a fan of packed lunches and in the past, I’ve written about the fact that I could make a healthy and filling packed lunch for around half the price of a school dinner which has saved me a fortune over the years.
With both of mine in senior school from September, I’m no longer going to be making packed lunches but I’ve just made a final batch of our favourite home made packed lunch cake so I thought I’d share the recipe with you on here again and update the costings for 2016 to show that it’s still a very frugal way to get something sweet into your child’s packed lunch.
Here’s the 2012 version:
These days the cake costs me £1.25 to make in comparison to the £1.05 I worked it out to be back in 2012 but the increase in cost is more due to the fact that I had to slightly up the quantities as I replaced the silicon baking tray I used to have with a slightly larger one. Most of the individual costs have actually gone down when you look at how much they were then and how much they are now which was actually quite surprising. *
How to make packed lunch cake
200g self raising flour = 6p (Value flour 1.5kg for 45p)
200g sugar = 12p (1kg for 59p)
200g butter or margarine = 44p (Stork Margarine 500g for £1.10)
3 eggs = 45p (Free range eggs 6 for 89p)
Vanilla essence = 3p
Icing Sugar = 15p (£1.55 for 1kg)
- Cream the margarine and the sugar together in a mixing bowl..
- Add the eggs and the vanilla and and give it a good mix.
- Bit by bit, stir in the flour
- Pour the cake batter into a greased baking tray (I’m a fan of silicon bakeware for this cake).
- Bake your cake in a preheated oven at around 200 c until your cake is looking golden on top – I’m not going to specify a time as it depends on the size of the cake tins you use and the thickness of the cake. I start my time off at 15 mins and take it from there.
- When the cake is completely cool, mix the icing sugar with some water and ice the top of the cake. The icing sugar mix needs to be not to runny but not too stiff as you want it to spread easily but not run straight off the top.

There are other ways, though, to score great deals this Thanksgiving and one of the best is to be flexible with your dates. In the chart above you’ll see that flying on the holiday itself and returning on Black Friday or the following Tuesday, 11/27 will save you over $200 versus returning on Sunday, 11/25. As long as you’re at the table in time for dinner, flying on the holiday is a great option for the price and the lack of crowds!

Travel Thursday is a weekly bookish meme that combines two of my favorite things: reading and traveling. The goal is to choose a book that took you somewhere new (or somewhere you’d like to visit again)!
I would love to read more about everyone else’s literary travels as well! So here are some general guidelines for Travel Thursday if you’d like to participate!
- Every Thursday (or any Thursday you want to participate), choose a book that features somewhere you’d like to travel to! It could be somewhere you’ve never been before or somewhere you’d like to visit again.
- Include a description of the location and why you’d like to visit!
- Link back to me so I can find new blogs to follow (and add new places to my travel bucket list)!
- Author: Paulo Coelho
- Series: N/a
- Year of publication: 1988
- Genre: Fable
- Setting(s): Spanish pastures of Andalucía, Tarifa (Spain), Tangier (Morocco), Sahara Desert
- Goodreads Synopsis:
Paulo Coelho’s enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago, who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids.
Along the way he meets a Romany woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the right direction for his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or whether Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path; but what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of treasure within.
Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
Thoughts and Photos
I read this one in high school, and it remains to be one of my all-time favorite books. It’s so simple and beautiful and moving, and I had never read anything like it before (and never have since).
After doing some research to refresh my memory on the settings of this book (I remembered Spain and northern Africa, but not any details other than that), I’m realizing that I actually ended up repeating a small part of Santiago’s journey while studying abroad in Spain! I went to Tarifa (the southernmost point of Spain), and from there traveled across the Strait of Gibraltar to go to Morocco (and specifically to Tangier)! However, I did not go on to trek across the Sahara in search of buried treasure, so the similarities end there. This book is definitely partially responsible to sparking my love of travel and for making me less afraid of adventure, and for that I’m really grateful.
Here are some images inspired by the settings of The Alchemist!
I didn’t spend too much time in Morocco, but I really enjoyed the time I did spend there! And I’m not sure if I’ll ever make it to the Sahara Desert, but I did get to ride a camel on a beach in Morocco! So that might have to be close enough. As for Andalucía, I studied abroad in Sevilla and lived there for several months. Every place I went in Andalucía was beautiful and had incredible food and culture to experience. I’d highly recommend traveling to that region of Spain, and I can’t wait to go back and explore it even more! I also highly recommend The Alchemist for anyone wanting to experience a little wanderlust!
I wonder… Where in the world will my next book take me?
