WITandWISDOM(tm) - October 27, 2003 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." - Robert Heinlein Source: Quotes of the Day, mailto:rheamo@centurytel.net?subject=Subscribe_Quotes_of_the_Day ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: There once was an oyster, whose story I tell; Who found that some sand, had gotten into his shell. It was only a grain, but it gave him great pain; For oysters have feelings, although they are plain. Now, did he berate the harsh workings of fate, That had brought him to such a deplorable state? "No," he said to himself, "Since I cannot remove it, I'll lie in my shell, and think how to improve it." The years rolled around, as the years always do, And he came to his ultimate Destiny...stew. Now the small grain of sand that had bothered him so, Was a beautiful pearl all richly aglow. This tale has a moral, for isn't it grand, What an oyster can do with a morsel of sand? Think... What could WE do, If we'd only begin, With some of the things that get under OUR skin?

Francis was on his way to Brookings, Ore., to buy a new car Tuesday when he spotted the purloined truck headed the other way. He swung around and followed. "It was pretty lucky on my part and pretty stupid on his part for driving the truck around here," Francis said. He trailed the truck until the driver parked at a home and went inside. Francis, armed with a can of pepper spray, slipped into the truck and drove it away. "I knew the key gets stuck in the ignition, so I figured it would be in there. That's probably why it got stolen in the first place," Francis said. Francis quickly called the California Highway Patrol, and officers showed up to arrest a Folsom State Prison parolee.

One day as our 4-year-old daughter, Kimberly, was playing with her friends, I overheard her talking with a little girl she had just met. "I am a Filipino," said the girl.
