Today is Big Whopper Liar Day. Do they really need a day in which to celebrate lies? Is deception something we should aspire to? I don't think so.

Tomorrow is September 11th, but since I don't usually post on Tuesdays, I'm going to share this incredible video of Alan Jackson's Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning.
Take special note of the snow scene represenation toward the end with the angel watching over the fireman.
