And also that you're not young

Today is Senior Citizens Day in Oklahoma.

"The only good thing about old age is you're not dead." -- Lily Tomlin.

Armed Forces Day

"The existence of the soldier, next to capital punishment, is the most grievous vestige of barbarism which survives among men." -- Alfred de Vigny.



Also on this day, in 1763, James Boswell met Samuel Johnson.

"That he (Boswell) was a coxcomb and a bore, weak, vain, pushing, curious, garrulous, was obvious to all who were acquainted with him."
