Heard from someone the other day. First time in a long time. Asked about the place, who's still around, who's gone. Caught up a bit. Promised to stay in touch better. Wouldn't let the weeds get so high again, so to speak. Mmmm Hmmm.

The people built a temple to justice and said. "It is good, let us find men and women of the highest caliber to sit in judgment of the public."
Their quest led them throughout the land to people informed of the law.
Some abused their appointed position, lavishing themselves with ill-gotten riches and growing corpulent as they feasted on the power entrusted in them.
Yet others cowered at the sight of the abusers and said nothing.
The people were shamed and asked for help from a mighty force to rid the temple of its rot. And they siad, "We must be vigilant to keep the temple clean and choose carefully those who will judge us."

The 44th President




I send my condolences to the Wyeth family.
Andrew,
We never met, though your work and visiting the places you made your art I feel I know you. I have made many trips to Brandywine, and to the Kuerner Farm and the area, trying to look through your eyes. Your work has been an inspiration for me and countless thousands. I’m sad to think we will never meet…maybe in another time. Good bye old friend. You will be missed
