And I'm talking about a something I thought of within a split second!
About the dino meme. A few years ago that same drawing had "philosoraptor" written on it and it was directed at me. Was that you?
Anyway, I took it as me dino's middle name. Dino Philosoraptor Allosaurus Esquire BS.
Picked up a Journalism BS with the GI Bill leaving the Marines. It really was a BS on paydays and for trying to for 7 years move up too.
Saw the writing on the wall when The Montgomery Advertiser's managing editor promised I'd have a job at the end of a hiring freeze.
After learning he hired someone fresh out of college for far less money, I'm now a well paid since 2005 a retired state employee of the Alabama Dept. of Corrections.
Really like Kennedy comment - keep hoping!
The news was good, but too true!
Will Rogers comment was spot on....
And follow me for more financial advise!
Thanks OGC...
LOVE the buying scientist one!!!!!!
you know why the roman roads are still working...
Because we don't drive on them!
If you've ever driven over a long bridge, or a "seamed" highway. With that annoying thump.
Imagine driving across a BRICK ROAD, doing 80mph.
Now, compare concrete, and they win. Were still putting RUSTING METAL inside of ours and watching it destroy the concrete from the inside. I cross my fingers for Carbon Tubing...
I do take issue with the one regarding the Roads.
It is not a matter of poor engineering; rather, it is a problem with a political source.
The politicians are the ones that set and approve the budgets and can be cajoled into both hiring contractors that do poor work (subgrade materials) and then follow-up with inferior maintenance.
