Idle Thoughts of a Wandering Mind
NO MATTER THE PRICE
NO MATTER HOW NEW
THE BEST SAFETY DEVICE
IN THE CAR IS YOU
Burma Shave

A common mistake some people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof  is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
Douglas Adams

Always remember that happiness is a way of travel and not a destination.


Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the
places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you can!!


Vote early and vote often....for Possum Queen of course!!
(absolutely the best election money can buy)
