We’re all called to service at some point. In the United States we have a draft system, but we don’t have a “mandatory military service” like in a lot of places around the globe.

I’ve had a very not-sosubtle bad attitude growing about federal holidays for quite some time.

I’ve always prided myself on just being able to “get things done.” When I was in Boy Scouts, slaving my way to my Eagle rank - I think somewhere I just committeed myself to being loyal to whatever I’m doing.

I drive...alot. I’m not for business vehicles, and business expenses and all that recording and I certainly don’t think I understand completely the financial and tax implications of having a “business vehicle” and all that stuff.

I’ve been hearing a lot of talk lately about the “state of things” and how the world is much worse than it used to be. I suppose every generation always thinks that they’ve got it worse than every other generation.

I really like history I’ve spent a better part of half my life recording it. Personal history - community history - the things we come from are fantastically important - “those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.”

I really love 'lists' of things. I have lots of those tshirts that list things that are fun or funny, I make copious notes that involve usually multiple pads of paper with multiple different lists of things to do, things to remember and things to make sure not to forget.

No one really prepares you for how fast time seems to go past. Everyone must still be about 15 or so in their head - it’s really how it feels some days.

You guys - you guys, I’ve finally done it. I’ve cracked the code.

One thing I do very much appreciate about the internet is that it is an endless flow of technology and information. The bad part about that is - it’s the endless flow of technology and information that is the extent of human intelligence.
