A voter: “Why only Muslims? Sometimes I wonder if Donald Trump has a jealous twin brother trying to ruin his presidential candidacy.”

Carson: “…the terrorists are like rabid dogs.”
An audience: “Good comparison. But what do you think America should do about the Syrian refugees?”
Clinton: “…It’s time to broaden the effort.”
An audience: “Oh so vague…”
Trump: “We don’t know who they are. Keep the refugees in Syria and give them humanitarian aid…”
An audience: “I don’t know. At least, that’s a clear statement, Donald.”
Mother Nature’s Whimsical Moment
Fire in the sky!
Mother Nature’s capricious moment of
turning the clouds into flames
right before the sunrise.
Difficult Goodbye
Saying goodbye to your be-loved one, whether it be a person or a tree, is always difficult. This apple tree graced my yard for nearly two decades since I grew it from a sapling. Even the cat loved it. But a disease got it last fall. I hope it will grow new branches next spring.
Books
Some books are to be tasted; others swallowed; some few to be chewed and digested.

Courage
Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.

The Lady in Black
I saw her last night standing outside
my window. The lady from my old memory,
when I saw her I remembered my old glory
I ran out to greet her but she was gone.
For a long while, I stood where she stood before,
envisioning her lovely face. Lady in black, why
did you have to run? What’s there to be shy?
I will wait for you until my time is done.
