“Stupid is as stupid does.” And a box of chocolates wouldn’t have helped much. The chocolates just would have melted.
As you may know, “Stupid is as stupid does” were words uttered by a fellow named Forrest Gump. Mr. Gump, as you also may know, was featured in a film of the same name. Tom Hanks,...
Before we get to the good stuff this week, allow me to share a special moment of living in rural America which we experienced last Sunday evening...
Yours truly was busy doing something important on the computer. Unexpectedly, a familiar, and unpleasant aroma, filtered through our humble abode....
