old proverb:

don't move
to the desert
if you don't like
low humidity.

..............

when viewing the Universe -
a mathematician sees a series equations;
a poet sees a string theory of words;
a burglar sees breaking possibilities;
a preacher sees a sea of souls to save;
a trucker sees a map to conquer.

all for One;
One for all.

"Keep America beautiful.
Grow a beard.
Take a bath.
Burn a billboard."

Letter to the editor, Iron Mountain News:

Somebody nice patriot snuck across the fence
into Historic Patchwork Farms,
recently bulldozed to make way
for garden homes (no garden),
Olympic-sized spa, soccer fields.

They altered the site's proud sign -
beacon of growth and progress;
changed it to say:
This was a pretty place -
YOU ruined it.

To that patriot, I want to say,
"Thank you!"
