Quote & Fact...
Quote:
"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us."
"The longer I live and the more I read, the more certain I become that the real poems about spring aren't written on paper. They are written in the back pasture and the near meadow, and they are issued in a new revised edition every April."
~ Hal Borland
Facts: (Unique Town/City Names)
Maryland :
Savage - Not named after an abundance of savages striking the town, but from a man named John Savage. (Not acceptable language for today, however in 1685 that was what's they called the indigenous people.)
Funkstown - Originally named 'Funck’s Jerusalem Town', after James Funck. It became known as Funckstown after the Civil War Battle of Funkstown on July 10, 1863. (Lots of lives lost on both sides.)
