Stormy Weather

Stormy Weather

I love cowboy stories, crickets and grasshoppers, a walk in the tall grass and stormy weather that kicks in suddenly. That is why I love Kansas in the summer.

Here I stand

Hier stehe ich und kann nicht anders!
Gott helfe mir,
Amen!
I cannot and will not recant anything,
for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe.
Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God.
Amen.
Martin Luther

Here I stand

April 2, 1521, If you're Martin Luther, appearing before the Imperial Diet and the Holy Roman Emperor, saying "Here I stand," you're making history. If you are a white egret standing on a post in Galveston Bay, taking a poop, you are just pooping. 

So context makes all the difference.
