[JOHN ADAMS]

I too am humbled. But I also got an immense kick out of part of his explanation for how he made it out “The bottom line is that that just was not my day to go.” We’ll put that in the “mild understatement” file.

~~~~~
Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Thy book they were all written,
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.

Psalm 139:16

[Fungi]
