Believe it or not, this was written by a man who does a lot of canning

from his garden crops. He gave me permission to share his thought with

others.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The

trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see

things differently. They are not fond of rules, and they have little

respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them,

glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore

them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.

And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because

the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are

the ones who do.

Jack Kerouac
