Milne muses

“Where so fitly as on a sundial can it be insisted that it is really our planet, not the sun, which is doing all the work? I meet men and women who don’t believe it. They talk about the sun rising and setting, which is ridiculous language to use of a stationary object.”~A.A.Milne pic.twitter.com/irGXPiz3BB

Sunday soapbox

Sunday’s soapbox is yours to use as you will – within the bounds of decency and absence of defamation. You’re welcome to look back or forward, discuss issues of the moment, to pontificate, ponder or point us to something of interest, to educate, elucidate or entertain, amuse, bemuse or simply muse, but not abuse.

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. – C.S. Lewis
