Quite a joke
An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Bubba:
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love, Dad
A few days later, he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad:
For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES.Love, Bubba
At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local Police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.
That same day, the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad:
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. It's the best I could do under the circumstances.Love, Bubba

Why did writing systems evolve from RTL ot LTR?
"Many languages that existed before the invention of ink were written right to left since this is the more natural for right handed people to hold a chisel in the left hand and the hammer in the right. After ink became the main method of writing, writing from left to right became preferable since it avoided smudging the ink."......Wikipedia

Obama Shouldn’t Hate the Filibuster - Susan Milligan (usnews.com)
Obama Shouldn’t Hate the Filibuster - Susan Milligan (usnews.com)
“There are a couple of things that have changed in our politics that are gonna have to be fixed"“One is the way the filibuster operates. As I said, that’s just not in the Constitution.”
"What [the American people] don’t expect is for one party, be it Republican orDemocrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet."

Quotes from Buscalia
"It is when we ask for love less and begin giving it more that the basis of human love is revealed to us."
"People are not here to meet your expectations."
"A person can not give what they do not have"
"This loving person is a person who abhors waste — waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever."
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
