That is a great story. I think my tenure is over, partially by choice, partially by age, partially by concern for other people. If it is at all true that there are many young people without jobs and college debt, I would rather have them take the seat I occupied during the years I put lines on paper. Hanford would have been a good place to retire, had we done that route of career. I started my employment in the engineering field as a pencil pusher and exited (laid off) as a pencil pusher (AutoCAD), physics/math degree. I liked what I did, we had fun in life, but this planet is too messed up to desire any more of this jazz. I consider the years of employment that I knew to be somewhat of a haze out of which I have escaped. No income, tiny tiny savings, not old enuf for 'entitlement' retirement, no retirement, old, decrepit - it's time to be happy to be gone, really, but that is not a call I make myself, so I hang around. The haze that income and retirement is required for this american life is a trap we refused 40 years ago, which has come to roost, so be it. Let the hippies die in the dark. mao mao _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
