I found a book in the library, "actually a stand with all kinds of reading material on it that sits in the bathroom", today that was laying there opened up to this page. There it was laying with a copy of Mad Magazine and one of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" publications. I had no idea that my daughter had such good taste in literature as I read this worn old paperback from the 1980's. What I was reading was pretty much relevant to the happenings today, so here's a picture of it...

As the time draws near for the exit of Bu$hco I would like to wish a happy, democratic, truth filled, peaceful existence to all and a small reminder to love your brothers and sisters, as well as any other critters, and especially plants...G:

taught death some manners.
