    we have a five year old in the house. Started kindergarten on Monday and I gave him a buffalo nickel when he got on the school bus. Told him it was his lucky nickel and to look at it and remember me if he got scared his first day at school..... Well I am an old guy and forgot all about it. Helping him with his bath tonight and find him washing his lucky nickel..... I am just fine if this one gets a “details” grade due to cleaning.

    Randy - my hat's off to ya sir ! ;)


    Hmmm - do you remember the '60s ? Attitudes weren't much different then. :)

    Your day is coming ! :)

    And then ya have stuff like this -

    An Assyrian clay tablet dating to around 2800 B.C. bears the inscription:

    “Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”


    Or this -

    Naram Sin, 5000 B.C.

    "We have fallen upon evil times, the world has waxed old and wicked. Politics are very corrupt. Children are no longer respectful to their elders. Each man wants to make himself conspicuous and write a book."


    And I can not think of a more appropriate time to post this. The question however is this - how many will heed the lesson ?

    “Echoes”


    Many people there are
    in this world of ours
    Who search for things
    they cannot find
    They pay no heed
    to the echoes of time

    Some search for love
    and some search for truth
    And then there are those
    who seek the fountain of youth

    Some seek out pleasure
    but find only pain
    And some seek the sound
    of a choral refrain

    Many places they'll look
    but they'll seldom find
    The answers to questions
    or peace of mind

    These things that they seek
    they won't find in bars
    And nor will they find them
    above in the stars

    Some folks will tell you
    these things can be found
    If you'd open your eyes
    and just look around

    But the wise man will say
    with his eyes all aglisten
    Just open your ears
    sit down and listen

    Most they will scoff
    and some they will laugh
    And when the laughter is over
    they'll order a draft

    But a few they will listen
    and soon they will find
    That the answers lie waiting
    in the echoes of time​
