Mark Twain alias Samuel Clemens the writer behind Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn...

Ah yes I know the author and here's another Mark Twain quote to remember...

"Never pull off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."

Reminds me of a Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? Episode Nine: Chapter and Verse...When Ivy and Zack just take a 'smooth landing' on the picket fences where Tom Sawyer trick his friends to do whitewashing the fence.:halo:

  1. "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

    – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.

Traveling is much easier for everyone at ACME these days, now that we have the C-5 Corridor. But if you ever get tired of The Chase, think of this great quote I found...

"The world is like a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."

St. Augustine

    I just heard on the news they're going to have to remove the Sakura trees in Washington because of damage to a sea wall. They have to build a sea wall and replant new trees.

    @Lucy ... don't know if you really want wolf spiders in your home... I'd go for jumping spiders, they can't bite... wolf spiders are the fast movers, and they can bite.

    ((Will lose my ACP internet towards the end of the month, unless anyone knows about it ending sooner. Trying to switch my Lifeline phone to a better provider that doesn't shut me off after four and a half gigs of data, nothing but failure so far and "call here" and "it's on their end" and the back and forth crap... in the morning, it's time to demand the supervisor and might even get to harsh language (after three days of that). I plan to use the Lifeline phone tethered as Internet source, share that to my own router... I've done it before (it's messy, and not 100% effective, but it works). ))

    ((The 'net is the main way to apply for jobs now, so I need that, and I've moved/changed Lifeline providers before without an issue, so no idea what the problem is. I have active Verizon through ACP, active Lifeline through Airtalk... is that somehow the issue? If anyone knows, please let me know before I tear someone a new one (ya know what I mean). After three days of this, and two days about a month ago, I'm ready to walk there with katana in hand.))
