Ran into the following quote from an army officer who was chasing the Apache 130 years ago. Speaking about travelling in some of the more rugged terrain in AZ:
" I defy anyone to make his way over this country without the aid of profanity."
Brought a smile. As some of you know up close and personal, 1/2 Italians from NY can wield profanity like a surgeon wields a scalpel....particuarlly during an encounter with the local "hosh" (cactii).

Humorous (but true) Quote
Favorite Quote - Will Rogers
Will Rogers is the source of my favorite quote:
"Be glad that we don't get all the government that we pay for.
"
There is something to be thankful for in this one!

Roger; Old Will was one of my favorite Aut/hum. If he didn,t say what I said he did then he should have. If you get the chance to watch his Auto. on T.V. Take it! Watch this guy with his LASS ROPE he can rope the same horse 5 times with five ropes He is a Wonder with a rope. He is worth watching. It also tells and show some of his old movies too. Thank you for sending me this I really enjoy reading it. My mother used to listen to him before I was born, He was her soap opera of the day. with the babies. Bill

I have relatives in Claremore, OK, and have visited there a number of times over the years. There is an excellent Will Rogers Museum in Claremore as he lived in the immediate area in his later years. Here is their web site if you ever get that way:
http://www.willrogers.com/index3.html
The museum was built in 1938 on 23 acres that Will purchased in 1911 for his retirement home, but he was killed prior to building it. He is buried on the property. The museum has been expanded several time over the years and is now 16.000+ square feet. It is a top notch museum.
Also, if you go to Claremore, check out the J.M. Davis Arms & Historical Museum close to downtown. It is the best gun collection I have ever seen with more than 20,000 firearms on display. Here is their web site:

Enjoy!
