Gentlemenses,

Once again I stand in awe of the inventive tales that are spun here. There is no way I can accompany you all in imagination. I am rather a plodding mundane person with a mostly uncool way of communicating. I am short and clear. That may come from a long association with the military. Also my hobbies and interests run along the lines of short and concise communication. Flying and firearms are not pastimes for being colorful or obtuse.

But you all are a joy to read. Even if I don’t know where some of the things come from.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.
