​Many of you are familiar with Benjamin Franklin's list of moralities to
try to live up to.  The only one he acknowledged failing was humility.
With​

​his record of accomplishments it's little wonder that he kept a bit of
pride.

My own pride usually occurs in early September when my garden is producing
lots of tomatoes etc., and of course because of what happens on Sept. 21.
Sorry.
