Everything looks better looking backwards. But now is easily better. We had to go to the library and check out actual books, we had to research in the physical encyclopedias, cars were less comfortable... Heck, I'm on a hand-held computer we call a smartphone... :)
When I was in grade school in the 60s, we had a math problem... "how old will you be in the year 2000?" I calculated 42 and thought "OMG, I'll be nearly dead by then"...
Daughter was given a laptop at admission to the Air Force Academy in 1996, but I was envious... Didn't get my first laptop until about three years later.
Had a '65 6-volt beauty (paid 500 in '77), and never even heard of slug-bug until years after I sold it in '88.
Fuck off, Russian propagandist!
Well, one of Trumps many reckonings is proposed for the 8th, so I may be out buying liquor to celebrate.
And the response...
Water contains two elements, hydrogen (very explosive) and oxygen, which can make almost anything burn. You'd think tossing a match into a body of water would end all life, for the amount of stored Oxygen and Hydrogen. It won't because it is essentially ash. Inert. It takes a large amount of energy to separate the Oxygen and Hydrogen from each other, before either could be used again. That is the problem. That's why we don't pour a gallon of water into a tank and head across country.
That is true and key. Voters do need to show up, this time as much as ever. If we had 50 M votes more, a huge lopsided victory, maybe, just maybe, the monster could be shoved back into its closet.
These polls are bullshit. Trump lost by 10 M votes, and he hasn't converted any new friends. No new love for the man. Only deserters.
Helpful! Not a mistake. "honey, a pound of butter, the orange box, NOT the blue box"
