A tip of the cap to old 'Silent Cal'. Today's bloviators could learn somethings.

There is an old saying that goes: "Never Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand Is Doing." The Book Of Proverbs tells us: "A Wise Man Keeps His Mouth Shut And Is Sometimes Thought A Fool. A Fool Opens His Mouth Wide And Removes All Doubt." A good one Gershon. God Bless, JB

I love that second proverb you quoted, Judy!... Heard this today: I wouldn't say that my sister is chatty or anything, but the police pulled her over today and told here 'You have the right to remain silent.' Smiles, Gershon

Yep, I think so, Gershon. He was also a man who stood his ground...even if it was pretty shaky. That New England spine...or is it spinal tap??? ps. I visited his humble little village.

Ha, ha. I see that Mr. Coolidge was born in Vermont, close enough to New Hampshire, where I survived four brutal, and I mean brutal winters... It's so long ago, but I remember the last line of the (Dartmouth) song: 'And the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains.' Probably Coolidge borrowed some of that granite. lol. .. As for me I was 'in Dartmouth,' but never 'of Dartmouth.' For me, it was almost a total waste of $9,900. Actually not. I learned how to learn... But I've never been back. ($9,900 was the total cost Tuition, R&B, and Books for four years ending in 1972. Our class newsletter just confirmed that recently. Can you believe it?). Smiles, gw
