    Platinum rule: “Treat others as they wish to be treated.”

    I was driving my new truck through a small town and got pulled over for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign. The officer spent most of the time asking questions about my truck and then gave me a warning ticket.

    My grandmother Anna was born in 1890. She too was the only grandparent I ever knew. She lived to be 95. The other three died of illnesses before WWII that would have been curable had they occurred after that war.

    Pardon me. I should have written that’s it’s a misinterpretation/misuse rather than a misquote and is taken out of context. Here’s a source with the quoted phrase and the larger context. >

    A typical misquote of Shakespeare. The actual phrase is more along the lines of: “If we would lose our freedoms, we must first kill all the lawyers.” The rule of law is what undergirds all of our freedoms. Absent that, we have no freedom. BTW. I am not a lawyer, nor am I related to any.

    I put up six indoor artificial trees this year. It takes me awhile, but I’m retired so the time is not that important. Each one has a different theme. One is family heritage, one for art glass ornaments mostly made by my wife, one is travel, another is faith, one is Santas, snowmen/women, and animals, and the last is hand crafted and Hallmark collectibles. The two common elements are lighted toppers and strings of red/green/white wooden bead garlands.

    Someone who eats in a university cafeteria and expects mom’s home cooking truly does need an education. I spent four years living in on campus dorms during the latter part of the 1960s. Two in one run by the school and two in one that was privately operated for-profit. The first had decent food with adequate variety while the second was truly exemplary.

    That’s a pretty realistic looking balsam spruce. That was the type of Christmas tree we had for most of the 1950s. They’re sparsely limbed so great for displaying ornaments.
