Today is Simplicity Day with thoughts of South Dakota.

We're celebrating the birthday of Henry David Thoreau who was born July 12, 1817 and today we celebrate his thoughts about the good life.

 

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

Here's the only place I've found to "front the essential facts of life".  The South Dakota prairie.
