How Many Ways Can You Do It Your Way?
Besides the original recording of the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, the cover by Elvis Presley became a favorite. Sinatra recorded this well-known song in 1969, and the song became one of his signature songs. In 1967 a version of the tune titled “Comme D’Habitude” was recorded by its co-writer, French singer Claude Francois. While on vacation in France, Canadian singer and songwriter Paul Anka heard it and decided to adapt the song for Sinatra, who at the time was thinking of quitting the music business. Anka wrote a whole set of English lyrics and when presented to Sinatra, we all know how well that worked out and got him back into the recording studio.

Into the Valley of Death
Aconitum, or wolfsbane, is beautiful to look at; the flower is also the Queen of Poisons. The flower does not have to wear a crown to be dangerous; you just have to recognize it. This flower belongs to the buttercup family. A few drops of juice from the roots, and you can experience heart failure and cardiac muscle paralysis as well as numbing and tingling.

Devil’s Manor
Fall had come to Oakdale in all of its colorful glory. The town of 1,000 people lay in a sheltered valley. Entering the town you came in past the brand new shopping center and once having driven all the way down Main Street you left the town driving past a large hill with an eerie looking mansion upon it. There was no drive to reach the house oddly enough but there were steep stone steps leading up to it. One could also go straight up the side of the hill. It stood there looking down upon the town and the people living there silent, shuttered and still. It had been that way for a good number of years it had even withstood the turn of the century.
