It's The Journey That Counts!
Life's journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow! What a ride!"

​Quote for the Week Honoring Flag Day June 14
“The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of senti-ment, but of history.”
__ Woodrow Wilson

Obsolete Words
● tag = pine needle
Tag, meaning price tags or name tags and similar items, will won’t bite the dust very soon, but in the state of Virginia, a tag is a slang term for a pine needle. 
● spaz = klutz
In the US this word is somewhat benign – clumsy – but in the UK “it is a deeply offensive insult toward people with disabilities. So, maybe this is one that we should let go of.”
● drysalter = people who sell chemicals and things like glue and paint
The word has disappeared because the profession no longer existed after the early twentieth century. 
● whom  = a pronoun functioning as an objective case of “who”
On its way to extinction.
