Like honest Abe once said…”The better part of one’s life consists of his friendships.”
Why can’t we be friends? Wait, We Can!!!

1633 – Galileo Galilei was forced by Inquisition to “abjure, curse, & detest” his Copernican heliocentric views (the view that the  planets revolve around the sun). I guess some people couldn’t handle the thought of not being in the spot light! However, Galileo can now relax & galiLAY out to enjoy the sun, which we now know, is the real star of the show!
Look who gets to say “I told you so!”
