Today is Friday, August 31, 2012. Hot and humid again, many schools letting out early. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 50 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for an Angust total of 61.3 miles. My weight was at 162.6 pounds.
QUOTE from George Bernard Shaw: "He knows nothing and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career."
One of the BLESSINGS of living in America: On August 20th I wrote in this BLOG a Letter I had ready to send to the editors of the Anamosa and Monticello newspapers. Yesterday it was published in the Anamosa Journal-Eureka. To be able to express my views in writing in a newspaper is one of the guarantees in the First Amendment. This amendment uses these words: Congress shall make no law......; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press........ That is why I was able to get my letter published in the newspaper. What a great country to live in. In many countries in this world I wouldn't be able to do such a thing. God Bless the First Amendment and God Bless James Madison for formulating the first Ten Amendments to our constitution - which we know as the original Bill of Rights.
HUMOR for today: I think this is a true story. A Baptist minister in Texas was conducting Easter service. He called the kids to the front for the children's sermon. The minister said,"This is Easter Sunday and today we're going to talk about the resurrection. Does anyone know what the resurrection is?" One little boy raised his hand, and the pastor said "Please tell us what the resurrection is."
The boy proudly answered in a clear voice. "It is when you get one lasting more than four hours, you gotta call a doctor." Laughter engulfed the congregation and the minister forgot about his sermon.
