The printed page never flinches, it never shows cowardice; it is never tempted to compromise. The printed page never gets tired; it never gets disheartened. The printed page travels cheaply- you can be a missionary for the price of a stamp. It requires no building in which to operate. The printed page works while you sleep. It never loses its temper in discussion. And it works when you are gone from the scene. The printed page is a visitor that gets inside the home and stays there. It always catches a man in the right mood. It speaks to him only when he is reading it. It never answer’s back and it sticks to the point.

Any of you have animal/pets that you keep and not to eat?
We have chickens and ducks. The chickens have held their own for a while now, but I went out to find tuffs of feathers agian this morning from our all white mama duck.
I am so tired of the loss of animals this year. Not only two ducks that we have lost in the past month, but also two dogs ( one of cancer, and my moppy little one wandered off in the snow in January, never to be found) and my oldest cat (18) this year. We have two more dogs that are 15. I don't need to say more about that either.
Sorry for a gloomy outlook from me this morning and thanks for letting me bum on you all.
