I have always enjoyed your contributions to the shooting sports and avidly read everything I see with your name attached. I recognize your scientific and engineering back ground and respect the discipline required that attends such a career.
I am the poster child for drivel. I never had a real job, most of my income came from being a peace officer for 43 years. I dealt with the irrational, unpredictable, odd, mentally challenged, angry, evil, every day ordinary and mundane. While being taught to be an instructor in Verbal Judo, The Martial Art of the Mind and Mouth by the founder, Dr. George Thompson, he said peace officers often have to do the thinking for people that they would otherwise do if they were not impaired by any number of factors. Not much hard science there, mostly the ability to think on one's feet when thrust into the unknown over and over again.
So I tend to digress. I wax poetic about a variety of topic brought to mind in an ADD, oh look a squirrel sort of random sort of way. Perhaps I should make better use of the Thread Drift thread.
Hey fiver, is there a 12 step program for thread drifters?
