A Simple Thought...

I wanted to post just a simple quote today...other than expound on things already said.

I feel this quote says it all much better than I could , even if I wrote all day.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.
Mark Twain

See what I mean?

Now let's get a fresh cup of coffee, my friend.

I would love some coffee. You might want to start another pot however, I might be here awhile.

Baby Sis said...

Pretty much covers it, I think. And wow!! 84 followers - you're a pretty popular fella, Bubba, and I'm not even registered as a "groupie". Love you -

Lol, I guess your name just went on a list somewhere. Gonna have to work on your newspeak Jim, before you become an unword.

JoJo said...

Good morning Jim,
yes that was a simple thought that does say it all.
Now pass the pot please and lets have another cup and enjoy all the company.
JoJo
BTW how are the roomies doing today?

Grandpa Eddie said...

Well said by Mr. Twain.

Hey Phelan...you are more than welcome to stay as long as you want! Always enjoy visits from my friends...Fresh pot is perking...

My thanks for coming by!


Hey Baby Sis...sure am glad to see you this morning. Yeah, I'm fortunate to have so many fine folks that drop by to visit.

So how is DH doing with retirement? I think it was a good move for him...and I'll bet he is loving it!

Thanks for coming by, Sis!


Hey Shiner...bet it won't be the last list I get put on, if you know what I mean? Before I become an unword, I guess I better move to the woods, huh?

Funny coincidence that 1984 has been on cable a couple of times in the last month! Wonder if that is a sign?

Thanks for stopping by!


Hey JoJo...glad to see you. I never got the pictures of your trip. Glad you had a good time, though!

Thanks for coming by for a cup, my friend!


Hey Eddie...Mr. Twain was an articulate fellow for sure. I have always enjoyed reading his books, even though many of them are considered "Not Politically Correct" by todays standards.

Hey, thanks for the visit tis morning.

Smart man, perfect quote. Knew there was a reason this MO girl loved the 'Hannibal' man...straight forward and right to the point, completely un-PC and funny to boot.

They don't make many like you and him anymore, HJ!

HermitJim said...

Hey Momma...my favorite Missouri visitor! Those are some kind words this morning for both Mr. Twain and myself.

Gonna make this old man's head turn, if ya aren't careful!

I really am glad you came by today!

Ken said...

...Mark Twain,quite the visionary!?...or is it,things haven't really changed,other than our perception(!)(?)...'Twains qoutes' are many,worth every minute of research...

HermitJim said...

I think it might be a combination of both, Ken.

Both Twain and Will Rogers are well worth reading, I think.

Thanks for coming by, my friend!

Leaving it, these days, a half-time job...
