@circles,

 

Before you read about Jonestown make sure your head is in a good place because the story is beyond tragic.


I just read the story...actually two different stories...and remembered that I did hear about this commune and what had happened....(don't know why I had forgotten)...trully a horrific tragedy...hard to realize he had so many followers.....

Wheelhouse....I had never even heard of this term until this fall.  Now, just about everybody says it.

I'm starting to hear 'hear's the thing' mentioned by hosts often.

I am living under a rock.  I have never heard the term Wheelhouse.  What does it mean?

It's a baseball term, but I hear many using it to mean something you may excell at or are interested in.  I'll use it in a sentence: "I knew he'd do well on "Jeopardy," because answeriing questions about history and trivia are in his Wheelhouse."
