| | 1) Reminds me of a FOR BETTER OR WORSE comic by Lynn Johnston, 7/22/88.
Two boys(a. and b.) walking along talking with their hands in their pockets:
a. Summer camp! They've gone and put us in summercamp. Man What a bummer!
a. I mean, if it was like the movies, it'd be a blast! Like, you know "meatballs" and stuff like that!
a. But it's gonna be dull man! Why can't life be like it is in the movies? Why is real life so x#@& dull?!!
b. ...I guess it's 'cause we hafta be our own writers.
2) When I earned my BS/EE degree in Boulder in 1957 I signed on at the National Bureau of Standards to spend a year in Antarctica doing "science" during the International Geophysical Year.
Boarded http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wyandot_(AKA-92)
about Thanksgiving sailing to Africa, across the Equator, and into the ice.
About a week after leaving Norfolk I was studying in my upper bunk and wrote in my diary:
"I don't know if I have Free Will but life will be more interesting and enjoyable if I assume I do."
And that has made all the difference. Dale
