September Days
The holidays, the leaves start to change, it gets dark earlier, it brings in the fall, and so much more
September 1—Yesterday in the USA and Canada was Labor Day
Every day is a holiday somewhere, right? Labor Day was yesterday.
Parents' day, is today, when all their children are in school today.
Today and every day is Grandparents Day when seeing the grands.
Every day we can feel free to claim a holiday, or borrow
More from another place, country, culture or lands.
Better days come from celebrating the day we are in
Everyone suffered in 2001, when September 11
Reminds our people of just how short life can be
~
Death is not always predictable, as we can see
And living a long time is not a guarantee
Yet, we can make the most of our lives for the
Sake of our friends and family!
~
Fall comes in September during these days! The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, especially at night, and the produce from the garden is being processed for the coming days. We start to see similar times of daylight and darkness in the fall. Most of the fall is enjoyed by all.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
