This evening we get to join an elderly British gentleman, David Jason, as he travels around the West Coast of America.

Your most interesting recent tips are definitely appreciated!

Bonus: Awhile back, this video about the massacre (execution) of Canadian soldiers on June 6, 1944 was shared here on SDA. The SS Commander, Kurt Meyer, was later charged with war crimes for this incident. There’s a follow-up video of how other Canadian soldiers, in the days following, sought retribution against this SS Division.

What I didn’t realize until yesterday afternoon, when I added this bonus material, is that during the 75th Anniversary of D-Day (2019), I happened upon a beautiful ceremony in Bretteville-l’Orgueilleuse when local French townspeople personally thanked members of the Regina Rifle Regiment. For you, dear readers, I’ve uploaded the photos & videos I captured that day.

This evening we present Larry Elder’s 2020 film, Uncle Tom: An Oral History of the American Black Conservative.

Your most provocative tips are really appreciated!

Bonus: Walking through downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico yesterday morning, there was an older couple a few steps behind me. The salesman from one of those skin care stores said to them, “I have just the thing to fix those bags under your eyes.”

Maybe time to rethink his sales pitch?!?

Today, on the 45th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, SDA regular Denise takes over this edition of Reader Tips:

It was an ignoble death for the man they call the King. Forty-five years ago – August 16, 1977 – the years of prescription drug abuse and a truly dreadful diet took a final toll on 42-year-old Elvis Aaron Presley. “Like Elvis” is a song written by my husband, James Frazer. It offers a quirky, cautionary song for all wannabe Elvis impersonators, whatever their vice. There’s lots of unique phrasing to enjoy! Here are the lyrics.

Bonus: On August 7th/8th I (Robert) drove the 444 mile Natchez Trace Parkway from Nashville, TN to Natchez, MS. One of the highlights was stopping in Tupelo, Mississippi, at the birthplace of Elvis. Here are a few photo I captured there:
