Hail to the chief

by chuckofish

It is our custom to remember Ulysses S. Grant on July 23, the day he died in 1885.

Maybe I’ll swing by White Haven today and walk through the grounds.

As Mark Twain said: “The greatest man I have ever had the privilege of knowing personally. And I have not known a man with a kinder nature or a purer character. He was called the Silent Man — the Sphynx — and he was that, in public, but not in private. There he was a fluent and able talker — with a large sense of humor, and a most rare gift of compacting meaty things into phrases of stunning felicity.”

Let’s all take a moment.

And don’t you just love stories like this?

Have a good day! The heat has broken here–enjoy!
