Back from a weekend in Narragansett RI for a Corvette show and seafood. (Narragansett beer still disappoints.)
If it can be solved, there's no need to worry, and if it can't be solved, worry is of no use.

In case you've missed the "Daily Download" I was in Vermont for three days to attend a wedding reception of my daughter's best friend from HS, baby sat the new guy, bought heady Topper Beer from Alchemist Brewing in Stowe. Drove four hours in rain and more rain. Here I am in beautiful downtown Skowhegan, ME.

A man may be a fool and not know it, but not if he is married.
H. L. Mencken
While searching for the quote I ran into these:
It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron.
H. L. Mencken
The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.
