I have not done much this week, but I am still on the green side of the grass, at least.

Abraham Lincoln Stories
STOOD BY THE "SILENT MAN."
Once, in reply to a delegation, which visited the White House, the members of which were unusually vociferous in their demands that the Silent Man (as General Grant was called) should be relieved from duty, the President remarked:
"What I want and what the people want is generals who will fight battles and win victories.
"Grant has done this, and I propose to stand by him."
This declaration found its way into the newspapers, and Lincoln was upheld by the people of the North, who, also, wanted "generals who will fight battles and win victories."

Thought for the Day

If the "eco crazies" realize that we "Old Farts" produce a considerable amount of methane every day, there is a possibility that they may put us on their elimination list.
