America offers liberty (freedom) and fairness when compared to other actual countries (rather than being compared to an Utopian ideal): How many political Islamist (Sharia Law ruled) nations can be proud of a woman fighter pilot who can save lives with skillful means? #Merica rocks! https://www.wsj.com/articles/southwest-captain-former-navy-pilot-praised-for-calm-amid-catastrophe-1524065513 (at United States)

“...if you aren’t willing to suffer, you can do nothing. You can sit and die....” “Nie chce byc malym szarym czlowiekiem,” he told me. “I do not want to be a little gray man.” This is a common expression in Poland — and a good motto for us all.

So, I was telling our lady chicken what I read that Tim Cook had said, while stooping in their aromatic coop —- “You have to find the intersection of doing something you're passionate about and, at the same time, ... is in the service of other people," and that “...Our purpose is to serve humanity." —- In response, the hen chirped, “Go to bed! Off with the lights!” Well, OK, then. Too bad I didn’t take a video. No one will believe me now. (at United States)

It’s my lucky bun day. tGif. I traded a mini-“pineapple” bun and three Georges for ceramic mug, with lid, filled with hot loose tea that paired nicely with the chewy buns, on a cold rainy afternoon in Oakland Sina-town. (at Chinatown, Oakland)
