When things fit neatly together we feel good about them. The way words form sentences and sentences fit together to make a paragraph is an accepted format that would make us all cringe if suddenly it were any other way. We all resist change to one degree or another. In any change, things do not seem to fit the way we were accustomed to having them.
"Don't call it change, call it 'progress'", we are told. Does that really make any difference? Today's quotes are on the theme of progress. See how they fit together.

Humor
This weeks jokes consist of a series poking fun at us Southerners. I can laugh along with the rest of them.
A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck.
"Where's Henry?" the others asked.
"Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied.
"You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired.
"A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
