Alright, alright.  I'm clearly in the minority this time.  That's okay once
in a while.

I still have the fears of an Indian woman I met at a party.  She's over here
on a visa while her husband learned American techniques for hand surgery and
she was worried about being a foreigner among the newly militaristic
Americans.  I can only imagine what visiting Musilims must feel like in NYC.
<shudder>

Military types don't ease my mind.  They always remind me of the dopey jocks
in high school who never had an original thought and completely followed the
herd.  Nerds don't easily cotton to that stuff no matter what the
circumstance.  (Would an fighter pilor even understand that sentence?!  I
guess Chuck Yeager would.)

Okay, if I think of Yeager doing the fly-overs it works for me.  Cool.
Thanks ladies, for helping through.

PS, Could this dislike have anything to do with the fact that the track
coach was the first person to give me a "D"?  I will never forget 9th grade
mechanical drawing.  Too many erasures.  (Like I'm supposed to be perfect?!
I love my computer.  I can revise and revise and revise and revise, just
like in the darkroom.  Did Eugene Smith make his first print perfectly?  He
did NOT!  Ol' Gene took a bottle of Scotch with him into the darkroom and
stayed up all night.)


PPSS, Does anyone remember the subtitle to the Stanley Kubrick movie "Doctor
Strangelove"?  As I recall it was:
"How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb."       Just had to sneak
that in.

  Not that I would ever buy such a thing, but this pretty much says it for
me:
