This lit off so many paths...fantasy, sci fi, geometry, physics, adventure. I ended up with a BA in theoretical math, MS in applied physics, and became a Navy flight officer.

When I was 12 we had a local library. I had to get 8 books at a time because my brother and dad were voracious readers.

USS William Clinton (CVN-82) will be more massive (100 ktn), strike farther and harder (with embarked wing), and will have more endurance (nuclear vice conventional) than any trump class BBG ships.

I guess size does matter.

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go.

I'm not sure if I'm the one owing the favor or getting the favor.

Idle thought - If the US was a parliamentary system, how many No Confidence votes would have passed in the past ten years?

Charge, field, and force are three different things.

Oh, and read the book before class.

One of these days they'll learn.

The air is warm and the sun is shining. Today I'll get away from doomscrolling and work myself a sweat.

To quote Doug Adams, it's time to take my brain out, put it on a hook, and let it dry out a bit.
