Thought

“Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don’t change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.” • Woody Guthrie, American folk singer-songwriter (born this date in 1912, died in 1967)
