U is for Unique, yet United

I find it fascinating how a group of people will take a prompt - say, something featuring the letter U - and each find his or her UNIQUE take on it. At the same time, that collection of unique individuals can UNITE to make a most UNUSUAL whole, that being the ABC Wednesday blog each week.

It put in my mind the song United We Stand by Brotherhood of Man [LISTEN], clearly a group from the 1970s, based on their apparel.

The phrase "united we stand, divided we fall" likely came from an Aesop fable, though it has gained a lot of political currency in the past couple centuries.

Oh, if you haven't already, please check out the post UNDER this one, regarding comments.

    We're getting near the end of the alphabet, folks. What will V-Z bring. Also, I'm looking for a theme for the next round for my city daily photo ABC Wednesday. I've done A-Z city streets, neighborhoods, people, environmentally friendly, non-profits........... any ideas folks? The nice volunteers at ABC W, who diligently comment, keep me coming back. Hats off to you!

    Roger, we're leaving Friday morning for Brookings OR for the birth of our 12th grandchild. Will be gone for at least a month. Will probably get back in time to start the new round.
