Mugs’ Musings- MugsOBrew: Of course, it all is dependent on being really important, much more important than all the rest of us...which owning an SUV indicates. November 2, 2009

- MugsOBrew: Parking in a fire lane at the supermarket while you get 2 bags of groceries is OK now, if you are really important, or own an SUV, I guess. November 2, 2009

Memorial Day Sonnet
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember what my freedom cost,
By those who gave their all to keep me free,
Whose lives were sacrificed, but never lost.
I will remind myself of what they did,
And keep them dearly cherished in my heart;
Their honor never from me shall be hid
And I will know they always did their part
To save our nation and its people here,
To pledge their lives in defense of our ways,
To show that freedom always outlives fear,
And sacrifice is hallowed all our days.
If Liberty means anything to me,
I will remember those who kept me free.
