Not to prolong my preaching here, but I think angry and judgmental has become the new normal. As an oldster, I don't get the tattoo rage or the skull and crossbones Tshirts or the ear-rings in the tongue. Hopefully, I'll do cement in the morning for a project that might generate electric power from biofuel before I'm 200 years old. I'll count on Linux somewhere in the feedback loop because what else is there?? I feel lucky for opportunities never imagined, and really wish to hear what some others imagine.
