For those open to serendipity

You can't tell a hotel by its room service.

You can't read a book by its color.

You can't stop the bulldozers.

Valley Daze staff on strike

Sorry. The guys back at the printing presses refuse to work until we get a comment. They just won't budge. What's a boss to do?

This photo has nothing to do with the strike. It's just cute.

A right gude-willie-waught

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin’ auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gies a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willie-waught,
for auld lang syne.

-- Robert Burns
