Made me laugh... hell of a place to lose a cow

I was watching a PBS special on the National Parks and a quote made me laugh...

Ebenezer Bryce was a pragmatic man, constructing roads to facilitate lumber transport and surveying the route for a 10-mile irrigation ditch from the top of the plateau to the valley that would later lead to larger, more permanent settlements. If he had romantic ideas concerning the land on which he struggled to survive, they are lost in history. All he is known to have said concerning this striking scene behind his home is, "It's a hell of a place to lose a cow."

Wise Hen

The hen is the wisest of all the animal creation because she never cackles until after the egg has been laid.

--Abraham Lincoln, January 1863

Education

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

Always.... Right?

Just because it has always been done that way, doesn't make it right.

Being Present

Your children need your presence more than your presents. ~Jesse Jackson

Woman was created...

Woman was created from the rib of man.
She was not made from his head to be above him,
nor was she made from his feet to be trampled on.
She was created out of his side to equal him,
under his arm to be protected by him
and near his heart to be loved.
