Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
- Mary Elizabeth Frye
If one of y'all can do that clicky thang I'd appreciate it
Butch ain't never gonna be gone.
I heard butch an that monkey was headed west with the ragtop down searching for the lost dutchman
So I'm tole

People still have desktops?

I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.
That’s it. No more reading!

Amen to that. Making craft Hooch is a labor of love. There ain’t no shortcut to perfection.

Thats like "extra cash". No such thing.
