We hear alot these days about Progress.  I live near Branson, Missouri and the very reason people have moved to the Branson area is because of the beautiful Ozark hills, and the music.

The other day a friend and I drove to the Branson hospital to see a mutual friend who is having problems with a knee.  As we were coming down the long hillside on the West side of town you could see a lot of progress.  My friend I was with had just said a while before that, “The very reason people have moved here is for the beauty of the hills, and the progress has leveled some of those hills, filling in valleys to build buildings and parking lots”.  The progress you see coming down that hill is the cuts in the side of a hill and white limestone.  I guess that is progress.

Do you know what the opposite of Pro-gress is?  Con-gress.

See.  I do know how to laugh once in a while.
