Thanks guys, it was a good one. After a week of rain and projects that required driving the Blazer I finally got the Blue Streak out today (I was suffering withdrawal tremors the last two days.) The wife and I had a very nice evening following a very profitable day. Today some youngster (30 or so) asked me which birthday it was and I had to stop and think about it. I guess I really am getting old. Another minute and they would have had to cut me down and count the rings to get the answer. Off to the Straw Poll tomorrow.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
