“Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.”   —   Theodore Roosevelt

(#26 was one of our more rough and tumble Presidents.  But, he was also a champion of conservationism.  He was a war hero and a populist.  He’s one of the few Republican Presidents that Democrats can look up to, while many of today’s Republicans try to distance themselves from.  Funny world we live in.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  On this day, in 1965, Dr. Archibald “Moonlight” Graham died in Chisolm, MN, at the age of 87.  I thought that he was just a made up character for “Field of Dreams”.  Never knew that he was real!   —   YUR

“The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.”   —   Theodore Roosevelt

(Good ol’ Teddy!  The father of our national parks system.  He’s one of the few Republican President’s that today’s conservatives don’t seem to like, but liberals point to him as a progressive man of the people.  He must’ve done something right to get placed on Mt. Rushmore!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
