BILL'S  MUSINGS!!!!!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:   Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits.
                            --- Thomas Jefferson

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:  Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.       -- Will Rogers

TRIVIA:  Today  Ballpoint Pen Sales Day? In 1945, the first ballpoint pen went on sale, 57 years after it was patented. New York's Gimbels Department Store described the new pen as a "fantastic... miraculous fountain pen ... guaranteed to write for two years without refilling!" On that first day of sales, Gimbels sold out its entire stock of 10,000 pens at $12.50 each!
