Sorry.....

....but I couldn't resist a second post, today.

Did you know, that if you are mowing around a metal swing set, and you are pushing those annoying glider contraptions up with one hand, while attempting to mow with the other, that you can get a shock?

Actually, this is not the first time it has happened to me. *sigh* I think it has something to do with spark plug/glider convergence, but hey, I'm no rocket scientist. *resolves to take more care in future*

Ran across more great passages in "Winston and Franklin," today.(page 40)

On Friday, September 1, Hitler invaded Poland. Democracy itself was in danger around the world: economies were in collapse: communism and totalitarianism seemed to have much to recommend them. There was even talk of revolution in America. John Maynard Keynes was asked if there had ever been anything like the Great Depression before. "Yes," he said, "it was called the Dark Ages, and it lasted four hundred years."

and this,

Churchill liked to send his new books to friends and to those he hoped would be interested in his work. Many appreciated his thoughtfulness: a few evidently did not. After receiving the last of Churchill's Marlborough volumes, the duke of Windsor wrote him: "Thank you so much for sending me a copy of your latest book. I have put it on the shelf with all the others."

And, the really sad thing is, probably none of these guys ever got to mow the lawn.
