    Default I hope everybody has a wonderful new year...

    While many people have strong feelings about the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump, we can all set them aside for just a moment and hope that we'll all have a wonderful new year.

    Then we'll all get right back into it.

    I hope you all enjoy the board.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Happy New Year to you.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    It's official. This year is going to be a weird one. Not long after the ball dropped something messed up happened. I now know what has been getting my dog so excited. Since we live in a wooded area, we have a mouse in the house. Went into the restroom, and a little mouse was in the toilet bowl, and couldn't climb out. WTF? Why me? Don't have the heart to flush it. Don't have the heart to just kill it.

    Hey, Happy New Year to you as well.

    Who knows, maybe we'll be attacked by aliens this year and render all this political squabbling moot.

    I actually cleaned it up, and let it go in the garage. Yeah... I can't believe I did it either.

    Was that supposed to mock me about the mouse? I physically handled the mouse if he must know. I'm just not a brute that could kill a youngster just because it's a rodent.
