Cherries Jubilation

I'm away from my blogspace for a few days and so I'll leave you with the first fruits of the year's harvest and a few delightful quotes.
For those of you who don't know, I'm a mapmaker by trade (computer-mapping, or GIS). And so I'll begin with one for the cartographers out there:
Tobler's First Law of Geography
If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
P. J. O'Rourke
When you are right, you cannot be too radical; When you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Weaseling out of things is good. It's what separates us from the other animals....except weasels.
Homer Simpson
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.

Are those your cherries, Dan?
From our front yard. Pretty tart - too sour for eating fresh, but makes a nice cherry crisp...or maybe a rhubarb-cherry pie? mmmmm.....
I just completed my first semester at a local junior-college, Dan.
IT/GIS is my major.
Now, THIS is getting spooky, Daddio.
I think it's a sign that you should follow me in rejection of what passes as "conservative" ideology these days...
LOL!
As long as you'll join me in rejection of what passes as liberal ideology today, Dan.
LOL, again.
These kind of cherries were called pie cherries by my Grandma. Mark and I used to pick them every summer, competing with the birds, who loved them.
Did you know that my Ph.D. was in geography, Dan? I'm coming thru Louisville in July. I'll keep you up on my itinerary. Let's get together and talk geography. George eats old gray rats and paints houses yellow!
Yah! Pie for everyone!
I've got enough for cherry crisps (my favorite form of baked cherry) for all of you who stop by. Bring some rhubarb and we'll make it a rhubarb/cherry crisp.
George Eats Old Gray... an acronym to remember how to spell geography?
Yeah, Kevin, by all means, let's get together.
Anything with cherries and crust works for me. :) Next time I'm in Louisville I'll stop by.
