She tells it like it is.
Nothing a man knows is correct.
Or the truth when arguing with your woman,
Exclusive Disjunction

A disjunction that is true if only one,
but not both, of its arguments are true,

and is false if neither or both are true,
which is equivalent to the XOR connective.

By contrast, the inclusive disjunction is true
if either or both of its arguments are true.

This is equivalent to the OR connective.

That's nothin'.

Yes, the photo is from the cover of my CD, 'For My Old Fans.'

This is the 'glamour' shot. I love it when my 'hair' blows back like that.
The fans are actually turning when it looks like they're doing
nothing.

Charlie, nice painting of that Clipper running down the wind with the stun sails out and a bone in her teeth. :) Back in those days they had nothing for fuel. They did fine until they hit the doldrums, where the wind was nothing.

Thanks, DD; The Nina, Pinta, and Sta. Maria was painted by my grandmother and hangs in my sister's house.
My grandmother was a painter in Pilot Point, Texas, where in a town of 1100, she was not nothing.

If memory serves;

She appears to be a fully rigged ship
or possibly a Bark rig might have a cro'jack,
or spanker.
on fore mast we have: decending

Skysail or moonraker sail
Royal or royal top galant

Fore upper top gallant
Fore lower top gallant

Fore upper tops'l
Fore lower tops'l

Foresail course

Oddly only one jib,
in this rig 3 would be normal.

No visible staysails between masts.
No stun's'ls outrigged on this one.
Needed for the doldrums

Same goes for Main and Mizzen masts.
Pretty rendering none the less.

Man, the trivia we will stoop to in order to avoid saying nothin'. On closer inspection, there do seem to be no stun sails out. The sails seem a little wide, and that threw me off. Charlie, Columbus' ships were smaller and tubbier, with fewer sails. And they are usually depicted with those big red crosses on the sails. Not having actual models, your grammy was probably looking at other paintings, from the much later clipper era. Looks like she was a really good painter, but not so great on the nautical lore. But I wouldn't let that detract nothin' from her beautiful painting. :)

Give Charlie's granny a break. Look at how high those seas were. It must have been difficult to paint whilst all around is heaving. I'd be heaving myself in that weather.
Charlie; You never told us that you were once a rock star:

Just how tight were those jeans?

She did paint it from a picture.
She took the picture from the actual lead ship, The Zorro, into a side mirror that said OBJECTS IN MIRROR APPEAR LARGER THAN THEY ARE.
And the sailors were smaller in those days, moreso looking for all the heaving.
The ship is where Zorro got his name.

She told me so, and if it's not true then it ain't nothin.'

Rather a Winslow Homer style to my eyes.
And that's a GOOD thing.
