🤗 Wayne’s words were often used by my late husband. Never knew where the quote came from! I should have guessed! 😉

I would be more worried about that ‘moderate’ air quality…. is it that bad?
You know, once again I’m ever so glad that I don’t want to/have to know IT ALL…. what I don’t know (such as air quality) doesn’t burden me unnecessarily.
In what context did J. Wayne quote this? A movie? – I feel we’re burnin’ our life span, too often!

no, moderate is not bad with regard to air quality – his character said it in his movie -‘the cowboys.’

I’m glad for you – and I have to say it: Although I don’t know the location of your home place, I LOVE the name, every time I read it, I smile. Ann Arbor = I think ‘Anne’ and ‘Harbour’….. 🙂

thanks, and the name came from the original settlers of the town, two men whose wives were both named ann, and the huge amount of trees, thus arbor. Ann Arbor. and it has lived up to its name with tons of parks and green spaces.

It’s called Spring Equinox, as others have pointed out. Interestingly enough over here (in Norway) it’s supposed to be the 20th this year, aka tomorrow. 🙂

As a kid I was a huge fan of westerns. I think “burnin’ daylight” was pretty common among movie cowboys. Kind of like “Howdy, podnuh.” Or “hankerin'” to do something. Hollywood cowboy talk. I’ve no idea if cowboys really talked like that.

I think it originated from Shakespeare, though not quite said the same way as the cowboys, that had a special feel to it )

Great to find out where one of my favorite quotes came from. Wonder if someone wrote it for him in a script? I write down those nerdy statistics every day in my morning pages. I pay extra attention to the air quality these days. Perfect balance is a rare thing. 😉 Enjoy the day.
