A Word of Advice

Sometimes a glass of orange juice and a bowl of frosted flakes is just that, a glass of orange juice and a bowl of frosted flakes.

Then, there are times when the orange juice is a little spoiled and the frosted flakes are stale.  In this case, I believe that it is best to look to the words and advice of Thomas Paine.  Mr. Paine was a person who often said smart and nice things.  This time is no different.

"These are the times that try mens souls.  The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

If you have ever drunk spoiled orange juice and eaten stale frosted flakes, then you know how accurate Mr. Paine's statement is.  So, my advice, give your love and thanks to those winter hardship patriots.  Those brave souls that endure the hardships of spoiled orange juice and stale frosted flakes.
