November 17th is a very special day!

A few
Deep Thoughts to ponder:
- The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
- Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
- Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.
- If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic.
- Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
May this day and every day be filled with :feather:
