Dear Editor:

I just received a letter from a friend with what he called "Truisms." I would like to share these with you.• The nicest thing about the future is that it starts tomorrow.• Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.• If you do not have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.• Seat belts are not as confining as wheel chairs.• How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?• A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you are in deep water.• Why is it that at class reunions, you feel younger and everyone looks older?• Scratch a dog, and you will find a permanent friend.• There are worst things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 a.m. It could be the right number.• I have reached the age where "happy hour" is a nap.• The trouble with bucket seats is that not everyone has the same bucket.• Don't let worries get the best of you. Remember Moses started out as a basket case.• Each and everyone sitting on a commode will cause the door bell to ring.• Whenever I watch world news, I see white plastic stackable chairs. I wish I had that world patent.• Smile, it's good for you.From the pen of,K. TregerLehighton
