Proof Positive There Is a God

Sure, the earth, the stars, the infinite universe, hardshelled crabs, popcorn, but Lordy, Lordy, this is what I'm talkin' about...

Why You Should Never Kiss Your Cat on the Lips

Mark Twain

~ "Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."

~ "Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."

~ "Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."

~ "Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example."

~ "Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."

~ "Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company."

~ "I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough."

Friends

Fall

Despite its signal that winter is soon to come, the fall foliage is always a treat for the eyes.

As autumn approaches, the amount of available sunlight decreases. This signals the tree that winter is approaching and that it is time to begin the process of shedding its leaves. As a result, the production of chlorophyll ceases and breaks down. Because of this, the green color of the leaf disappears allowing the other pigments to show off their hues.

A maple leaf loses its chlorophyll and other pigments become visible.
