At random: Interests in submarines extends to royalty and presidents. The King of England and the King and Queen of Spain are among those who have made submerged cruises in submarines. As a result of a trip in an early United States submarine, President "Teddy" Roosevelt ordered extra compensation for personnel serving in the "Silent Service." President Harry Truman made a 440 foot dive in a captured German submarine. The first President to cruise aboard a nuclear submarine was President Eisenhower who rode the USS SEAWOLF out of Newport, Rhode Island on September 26, 1957.

NO GARBAGE FOR ME TODAY; I'M OFF TO CATCH UP WITH ROY AND JUNE ATOR AND SEE HOW MUCH LAUGHING WE CAN DO.
I've heard what a wonderful person Mrs. Ator is and I'm looking forward to meeting her; I first met Roy in Lansing Michigan a few years back when we both braved a Michigan blizzard to enjoy a cold beer together.

Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the
airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car backed out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. He was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call,
'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it
and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well,
and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to
other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not
let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too
short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ...

Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who
don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a garbage-free day.

Thanks for the bit of advice to reflect upon, Doc. That's something I can use right now.
