    Uh-oh... I've been doing thing backwards all day long today.

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I started to put "sometimes" after the quip. I can certainly think of times I wished I had been flawlessly inactive. But then those were just moments of "DUMB".

    Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.

    My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that.

    "Son, this is going to hurt me, more than it hurts you."

    Found in an old copy of The Realist mag, dated November, 1964

    Between 1950 and 1952, a bored weatherman, stationed north of Hudson Bay, left a monument that neither government nor time can eradicate. Using a bulldozer abandoned by the Air Force, he spent two years and great effort pushing boulders into a single word.

    It can be seen from 10,000 feet, silhouetted against the snow. Government officials exchanged memos full of circumlocutions (no Latin equivalent exists) but failed to word an appropriation bill for the destruction of this cairn, that wouldn't alert the press and embarrass both Parliament and Party.

    It stands today, a monument to human spirit. If life exists on other planets, this may be the first message received from us.

    Last few paragraphs on the page. After a bit of research it looks to be urban legend.
