"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing". Thank Socrates for the idea and thank brown cows for this cup of knowledge: 7% of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. These the same people who stare at a glass of orange juice because the bottle says concentrate?

Memorial Day 2025 Just a thought. Don't use the word "happy" to label the day…Today is the day to remember those who gave it all so you can love it, ignore it, salute it, grill during it or piss and moan about it. Today is THEIR day. At least respect that. #memorial #military #service #life

What would you give up for your career? Time, money…or fashion? What suits you? An example: actors who play James Bond, give up their right to ever wear a tuxedo in any other movie ever again. You make sacrifices to show your best work…even those shaken , not stirred.
