Quakertown was originally settled by members of the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers. The settlement was not officially known as Quakertown until its first post office opened in 1803.

There's always intensive patio-based container gardening, BiUK. Help you taper off the obsession rather than do it cold turkey.

Finally got a chance to read Cab Calloway's autobiography; seems the feud with Dizzy wasn't as bad as all that. Or at least Cab mellowed with age & embraced the bop. ... still, i'm sure CC would have been a bastard to work for.

Brilliant dude, though.
