The Continuing Conundrum of the "CN" Cuff Links

[Bob_the_Bartender]

Hey gang,

Barnabas was sure quick to surmise that those "CN" cuff links belonged to the mysterious Claude North.  Nevertheless, shouldn't Mr. B. have given some thought to the possibility that "CN" might have been some other person?

For example, how about the Parallel Time counterparts for these good folks:

1. Chuck Norris - the renowned karate maven
2. Carry Nation the great temperance crusader
3. Chester Nimitz - heroic Navy admiral
4. Charlie Neal -former Dodger second baseman
5. Czar Nicholas - deposed grand ruler of Russia

Can you think of any other possible "CN's" that may be tied to Roxanne, the enigmatic young woman with the same Jane Fonda "shag hair" style look from the flick, "Klute"?

Bob the Bartender, who wonders if PT Collinsport already had "CNN" on their cable system?

Carrie Nye....actress and married to Dick Cavett.
She and her husband recently directed the restoration of their fire-damaged historic house on Montauk....she'd be excellent to have around to supervise the rennovation of that very peculiar room at Collinwood....and she probably has at least ONE blouse with French cuffs!

Carrie Nye, of course!  I happened to be watching that PBS program on the restoration of her house out on Long Island and who (or whom?) do I see standing with Ms. Nye on the porch of her magnificent home?  Why, none other then the late, great Louis Edmonds!

Apparently, Mr. Edmonds was a longtime friend of the Cavets.  It was both terrific and sad to see Mr. Edmonds appear on the program, knowing that this was probably his last appearance on television back in 2001 before he died.

Leave it to me to read all about the PBS program AND the house restoration.....and then completely forget to either tape or watch the thing.....Grrrrrrrrr!!!

Now I'm even madder than I was before.....thanks, Roberto.

Wow! other folks know about Carrie Nye. . well i guess that head turning moment in Creepshow did win her a lotta fans! I read about the house in Architectural Digest .. .i guess it's interesting but also a bit pretentious i thought, perhaps the video would change my mind. . .

2. Carry Nation the great temperance crusader

And Carrie Nation would have been wearing cuff links because? 

Are you trying to imply that she was preaching temperance because of frustions in a certain other part of her life?

I read about it in the Times, so I don't know what A/D could have said to make it sound pretentious.  The original house was part of a historic planned community and no choice would have been permitted except as close a reconstruction as possible to the original.  For which, I'm certain, the residents of Montauk are profoundly grateful, given the House Horrors routinely built out there.

I guess that I'll just have to toss those old tried-and-true I-Ching wands on the table, to hopefully see what Ms. Nation was all about.

And here it comes... the 48th Hexagram,  the hexagram of high moral rectitude, of course! (What else?)

PS to Raineypark: Sorry about that!

Gee, I hadn't heard of that hexagram before - but isn't it funny how the right hexagram always seems to come up when it's needed?
