I close the door behind me - and end with this famous quote to leave you with.

"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969)


I will continue to drive my truck and enjoy my life - my exchanges of personal attacks and insults against my fellow man ends here and now.

You can always come back and post fun stuff ,
Like this :


A local priest was being honored at his retirement dinner after 25 years in the parish. A leading local politician and member of the congregation was chosen to make the presentation and to give a little speech at the dinner.



However, he was delayed, so the priest decided to say his own few words while they waited:



"I got my first impression of the parish from the first confession I heard here. I thought I had been assigned to a terrible place. The very first person who entered my confessional told me he had stolen a television set and, when questioned by the police, was able to lie his way out of it. He had also stolen money from his parents, embezzled from his employer, had an affair with his best friend's wife, and taken illicit drugs. I was appalled. But as the days went on I learned that my people were not all like that and I had, indeed, come to a fine parish full of good and loving people."



Just as the priest finished his talk, the politician arrived full of apologies for being late. He immediately began to make the presentation and said: "I'll never forget the first day our parish priest arrived. In fact, I had the honor of being the first person to go to him for confession."



Moral: Never, never, NEVER-EVER be late.

“The trouble with writing about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.” - Groucho Marx

Let us begin by committing ourselves to the truth to see it like it is, and tell it like it is, to find the truth, to speak the truth, and to live the truth. - Richard M. Nixon

Ok, I agree, I had to come back with one final post, one final quote before the clock strikes midnight - then its off 1,000 miles to Texas!

The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands . . . Their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.
Dan Marino, Sr.

Amen!
And that is my final answer -because Stone Cold says so!

Might want to stop by Walgreens or Lowes and pick up a box of N95 respirator masks. The ER "scrubs" masks are useless for something like this.

Obviously, Mr Marino never met Vince Lombardi.
