One trouble with living beyond your deserved number of years
is that there's always some reason to live another year.
And I'd like to live another year so that Nixon won't be President.
If he's re-elected I'll have to live another four years.
~ Rex Stout, novelist (1 Dec 1886-1975)
[Nixon resigned in 1974.]

| On yesterday's walk.Winter yet there was a bit of summer. |
Since the first four years of hell, I've been saying this: I want to live til history brings the idiot (and his minions) down. Today's quote from Word.A.Day, while not exactly the same, is close enough, and it does remind me that what we have has been before. When living through the time of Nixon, I remembered* the Teapot Dome Scandal and even Tammany Hall. There truly is not much new in the world, only people who think so.
For Today
*and wished more had done so. Instead of wasting the last 50 years being scarred from that time, they could have moved on. But hey, have the boomers ever moved on from being the center of the universe? Of course, some have, but many haven't trusted the government since.
Afterword: a day later.
