With all the George's passing away, it occurred to me that as I was going through the lists of Deaths on wikipedia's "August 26" information page (due to this date cropping up numerous times), that I had come across one of the authors of "Curious George" (Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey), who had passed away on this day, note the following from his wiki page:
According to one etymology source, the name Rey comes from the origin : someone who lives in a marsh land... or someone who grows "Rye". Note the following excerpt from Rye's wiki page ... that connects with our previous post re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye:
Hans Augusto Rey (September 16, 1898 – August 26, 1977)Audd don't you agree: his middle name being August, and he passes away in August. Note as well, the twin 77 in the year he died. Since his first name is a form of John, this is an addition to the "John/Jack/Jay/J/Hans... " pattern-cluster.
According to one etymology source, the name Rey comes from the origin : someone who lives in a marsh land... or someone who grows "Rye". Note the following excerpt from Rye's wiki page ... that connects with our previous post re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye:
Agronomy[edit]
Winter rye is any breed of rye planted in the fall to provide ground cover for the winter. It actually grows during any warmer days of the winter, when sunlight temporarily warms the plant above freezing, even while there is general snow cover. It can be used to prevent the growth of winter-hardy weeds, and can either be harvested as a bonus crop, or tilled directly into the ground in spring to provide more organic matter for the next summer's crop.
Note this excerpt and photo from Curious George's wiki page :
The White House 2003, Curious George theme with the Barbara Bush portrait.
And now to make it a little more mysterious in the tv show "Curious George, A Christmas Monkey" (2009). George and the Man with the Yellow Hat are sending out Christmas cards. The Man with the Yellow Hat signs the card with a "W" then George puts his hand print on the card and seals it. What could the "W" be for? [4]
I know what the "W" is for... I wrote a post on it that also involves George W. Bush, note the excerpt from my May 17, 2010 Toumai post entitled
The picture shows Borel sporting a star emblem on his jersey helmet, and with his right hand raised to, forms an obvious "W" (like the "W" that George W. Bush has been known to make, supposedly the W in this case if for "Walker"-- middle name).
I decided to put the picture up of George Bush making his famous W.
I do think that the inner twin world would like to communicate something in all of this, and it has to do with his surname "bush"... which is obvious, and considering my previous post concerning "alders", this is meaningful. And alders are not just trees, butt shrubs as well... or "bush" if you will. Note the etymology :
The White House 2003, Curious George theme with the Barbara Bush portrait. |
bush (n.) "many-stemmed woody plant," Old English bysc, from West Germanic *busk "bush, thicket" (cf. Old Saxon and Old High German busc, Dutch bosch, bos, German Busch). Influenced by or combined with cognate words from Scandinavian (cf. Old Norse buskr, Danish busk, but this might be from West Germanic) and Old French (busche "firewood," apparently of Frankish origin), and also perhaps Anglo-Latin bosca "firewood," from Medieval Latin busca (whence Italian bosco, Spanish bosque, French bois), which apparently also was borrowed from West Germanic; cf. Boise.An addition to the "Fire wood" pattern-cluster. And note this other etymology:
bush league (adj.) "mean, petty, unprofessional," 1906, from baseball slang ...I get the inner twin sense of communicating that even George Bush was under their influence... as well as mean, petty and unprofessional people... all good and bad culminating to bring us here at this precise point in time.
