Big O's Comments

Analog is easier on the brain. A quick glance can even clue you in as to how much time you have left to complete a task. Then again, I bet not many could even read a sun dial or know how to tell time on a sunlit day w/o a watch.

The things you really need produce, dairy, meat are around the store perimeter. I usually shop clockwise. Messes other people up, but too bad. Then hit the aisles for the other things on my list like canned goods, paper, etc..

We've used the Auto-Train from FL to VA and back a few times. It cuts out a lot of the boring/tedious I-95 driving. MrsO likes that she can bring more clothing options in the car, but does not care for sleeping in the upper bunk of a roomette. Being 6'3", I like the 6'4" bottom bunk. Lately we fly up and rent a car.

I'm a "junior." Even though James was the #1 baby boy name in 1939, my parents gave me the moniker. Had a family nickname for years that I hated. My friends in school and college called me by my middle name, Otto. It posed a problem once when my wallet was stolen and when I got my replacement driver's license, it had my Dad's traffic violations on it. Another time my Mother "accidentally" opened a letter from an old girlfriend addressed to me that had some very personal information in it. Future parents---please give your children different names.

Back in the day on the original Jim Rome sport's board, a member made up similar baseball cards for the board's denizens. All in good fun. I still have mine and others.

Rminds me of the time seeing robins floundering around on the campus at the U of Maine. The birds had eaten European mountain ash fruit that had fallen to the ground and had fermented. Drunk robins.

I might add that if you are working in a factory, it's not a good idea to go to a nearby diner for lunch and have a couple beers before you go back to work. Someone told me that. (-:

My new part time job is at Florida Southwestern State College on the event staff at the new sport's arena. I have to wear a T-shirt in that yellow-green color. It says EVENT STAFF on the back. I've found that people treat me differently, in a positive way.
Actually I'm nothing more than a glorified bouncer, with uniformed public safety people
around in case I need them.

And this reminds me of a character in the movie "Teachers", although he was a bit loonie. When that movie came out, everyone on the staff at the school where I taught had me pegged as the Nick Nolte character. True that.
