Little late getting the Tuesday quote up but here goes:

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”

   -Plato (427-347 B.C.)
   Philosopher and educator

    Now, I am pretty sure that not EVERYONE I meet is fighting a hard battle, but the next time you come across someone who is acting like a jerk to you, stop and think before you react.  Did something bad happen to them today? Did their boss just yell at them? Is somebody in their family sick? Are they sick?

On a side note, what an awesome beard Plato had! Wish I could grow one like that.

Crap, I forgot to post a picture yesterday because it was the 4th. Oh well, Happy Late Independence Day and let’s get to this week’s pic.
You are surely saying, “Dang, TC, that is one sweet-lookin blue watch you got there.”

And you would be right, my fellow toddcarruth.com reader. That is one sweet-lookin’ blue watch that I have in my possession on my hairy lightly sun-kissed wrist. On the flight over to the Big Apple, I was reading over the macro lens info on my dropped-once digital camera and decided to take a picture of the aforementioned sweet blue timepiece. I really like the short depth of field and I plan to test that “100 meters” listing just below the FOSSIL, the next time I scuba dive off the coast of Costa Rica.

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

Humorist and writer
