Will Rogers.................

If we lived in the west, today we'd be celebrating Will Roger's Day. So many famous quips and humorous looks at life have been attributed to this insightful man in our history.
This holiday is celebrated in Oklahoma to honor the trick-roping cowboy and all-around entertainer, who was born in that state in 1879. He thoughtfully poked fun at all aspects of Americana. One of my favorite and most fitting for this time of year is:

“I don't make jokes. I just watch government and report the facts.”. 

I think I'd enjoy celebrating Will Rogers Day a whole lot more than Martin Luther King Day :-)

 

–Will Rogers (1879–1935)
