Stan’s Rule of Eight

“When searching for a particular item to purchase (in a foreign country) do not say you can’t find it until you have gone to (at least) 8 different stores.”

Of course in the US this rule does not apply, because if it exist, it can be found online.

My favorite Pogo Possum quote

“We have met the enemy and he is us.” If you don’t know who Pogo is, look here for the comic strip character: http://www.pogopossum.com/

If you are interested in seeing the poster where this line from Walt Kelley was used and the “rest of the story” go here

Dogs

Not my quote but a favorite of mine:  “Lord help me to be the person my dog thinks I am.”

Ideas

“Simple ideas, never turn out that way.”  Example:  The idea was to take the group to the beach.  Which meant getting a van for 12 people.  When the group of 6 was told, they in turn invited family and others, which meant we now needed a larger vehicle for transportation and a driver, which meant we needed to provide for his lunch.  Then someone decided to video record the day to show on the local TV station, which meant a team from the TV station would be going and could we stop by the TV station to pick up the camera and equipment and etc. and and . . .  well you get the idea for this one.
