    -- GoodCelery!

    I liked that one. (sort understood it) :-)

    I am off on a "forced march" to a damn tech conference today and must be cut off from the net a while. Odd that, we will talk hardware and software for hours, but will not use any.

    If not, I would ask if you ever knew a fellow who self-inflicted a wound in Nam. I knew one, but he was not caught at it, but was suspected.

    Our nations history is one long, long saga of self-inflicted woes and troubles. Unfortunately, the myth-makers hide almost all of it and folks end up believing the opposite of the many lessons that should have been learned.
