TREES

     At the timberline where the storms strike with the most fury, the sturdiest trees are found. 

                                                      Anonymous

                     I've seen this one many times. It's beautiful.

WRITERS

 Yes, I suppose some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.

                                                          T.S. Eliot

 There could be some good debates on this one.

POST SCARCITY

       I will be missing in action for a while. I broke my clavicle so i'm in a sling and typing is a challenge .try typing with your left had when you're right handed . i will be back. I missed the bottom step on the stairs.

  

ROADS

 If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.

                                                                Lewis Carroll

This one is a bit tricky because we think it will end with something else.

LEADERSHIP

     Leadership is the intangible, and therefore no weapon ever designed can replace it.

                                                                            General Omar Bradley

                    Seems like only yesterday that General Bradley was leading.

TIMES ARE CHANGING

           In times like these it is good to remember that there have  always been times like this.

                                                              Paul Harvey

             I always listened to Paul Harvey's "And that's the rest of the story."

THIS OLD BEAN WILL NEVER BE 86 AGAIN.

      That's right . I recently turned 87.  86 had a nice ring to it. It was a nice number.

     However,  87 is what it is. I enjoyed being 86 and I will enjoy 87 as well.

    The hardest thing about being 87 is to wrap your head around the number. It's hard to realize one is 87. We have it in our head that we are much younger. Do you think your much younger than you actually are? I have been guilty all my life and looking at people in their 80' and think they look old. Once in a while it hits me that I'm in my late 80' and I look just like those old people. 

    In reality, I'm in excellent health and am thankful that I am fortunate to have the good health.
