Useless? Come on Horace, snap out of it.... the only time one becomes useless is when they are dead and buried in a box unable to fertilize the tree they planted you next to. Every time you hit 'send' is a another contribution to this circle of misfits.
There is a very short list in my head of core individuals on vortex for whom I would and do pine their absence. You are one of them... keep hitting 'send' ya useless old retired guy. -john "Walk any path in Destiny's garden, and you will be forced to choose, not once but many times. The paths fork and divide with each step you take through Destiny's garden, you make a choice; and every choice determines future paths. However, at the end of a lifetime of walking you might look back, and see only one path stretching out behind you; or look ahead, and see only darkness. Sometimes you dream about the paths of destiny, and speculate to no purpose. Dream about the paths you took and the paths you didn't take. The paths diverge and branch and reconnect, some say not even Destiny himself truly knows where any way will take you, where each twist and turn will lead. But even if Destiny could tell you, he will not. Destiny holds his secrets." -Neil Gaiman, "The Sandman: Season of Mists" -----Original Message----- From: Horace Heffner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 2:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:Happy trails, guys [snip] Sometimes I think I am no better than the lowest form of riverboat gambler.
