Last weekend, Greek Fest.

The sign roughly says, Greek Donuts.

The Donuts had honey, nuts, powdered sugar, and cinnamon.
Oh Greek coffee, the ladie's only warning, stop drinking when you get

Words of wisdom, have Bar-B-Que in the South, and

The American icon Uncle Sam was in fact based on a real man.

A businessman from Troy, New York, Samuel Wilson, provided the army with beef and pork in barrels during the War of 1812. The barrels were prominently labeled "U.S." for the United States, but it was jokingly said that the letters stood for "Uncle Sam." Soon, Uncle Sam was used as shorthand for the federal government.

The man himself looked nothing like the gaunt, steely-eyed patrician of popular lore. Uncle Sam was first portrayed in human form by cartoonist Frank Bellew in the March 13, 1852, issue of the New York Lantern.^[3] The Abe Lincoln look, along with the star-spangled outfit, was a product of political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who was one of the most popular artists of the 1800s. (Nast was also responsible for the popular images of Santa Claus, the Republican Elephant, and the Democratic Donkey).^[4]

Uncle Sam became a useful icon in cartoons, much like the John Bull character who represented the United Kingdom. John Bull and Uncle Sam have squared off in hundreds of political cartoons throughout the years.

The most famous image of the Uncle Sam persona was a World War I recruiting image that depicted a stern Sam pointing his finger at the viewer and declaring, "I want you". It was painted by artist James Montgomery Flagg in 1917, just prior to US involvement in World War I.

It has been argued by historian Glen Clever that the image of Uncle Sam was influenced by or even based on the character Sam Slick, created by Canadian satirist Thomas Chandler Haliburton.

Ended the Night seeing "Avatar" 3D in IMAX theatre, pretty good
