Last week I reviewed a book by one of my favorite authors, Libertarian Science Fiction master Robert A. Heinlein. This week I’ll share one of my favorite quotes:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
~Robert A. Heinlein

Welcome back from the Holidays! I hope that Santa was good to all, and that the New Year’s Resolutions you made won’t be too hard to keep. I’ve been a busy beaver and have a ton of stuff for y’all in the coming weeks… but here’s a quick poem by the great Alfred Lord Tennyson to start the work-week:
Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky,
the flying cloud, the frosty light,
the year is dying in the night.
Ring out wild bells and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new
Ring, happy bells, across the snow,
The year is going, let him go
Ring out the false, ring in the true!
