"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit." -
Ralph Waldo Emerson

K. Gibran

John Muir
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
The Scots of course insist that the pipes produce music. But the point is after all not too important. For those who love them, the pipes can evoke more vividly than any other instrument, high emotion, they can inspire valor, and tell of tragic tales of battles long ago.

If something goes wrong I usually just say . If someone is in a foul mood I usually ask "Who p---ed in your cornflakes"? If I am really annoyed with some one I tell them to "Eat s--t and die."
My Grandpa's favorite saying when ask how he was " Well I got up this morning I checked the Obituary my name wasn't there, so I put on my pants and went to work ". I love that one so much I use it.
Once years ago when I was on a service call to a Meat Packing Plant and we were outside having lunch, one of the workers must have been making racy remarks about some women sitting near by because I heard another guy say "Jeez will you get yer Brains outta yer B--ls." I rather liked that one at the time.
