But no comment from you regarding the "Yeah, **** your country, duck the

Real critical thinking. D'uh.


I said "many". "Many" doesn't mean "all".

After hearing the implication that I am an uneducated moron often
enough, I do tend to lash out. That is particularly true when it is
coming from someone who is living on the margins of success.
Somehow hearing a guy in his 70s saying he enjoys standing in the rain
waiting for a bus is rewarding, defies logic.


Yeah, my comment wasn't intended to be derogatory of you. I have a lot
of respect for what you've accomplished in your life. I was just
trying to avoid a Harry trap.




Who is standing in the rain waiting for a bus?

I suppose it never rains in DC. It certainly did when I was there ...
standing in the rain waiting for the bus.


Oh. Well, the commuter buses pretty much are on schedule and frequent.
One of my downtown clients is on K Street and another is on L Street.
The K Street client is on the corner opposite the bus stop, and the L
Street client is a block and a street away. If it is pouring, I simply
wait in the lobby of the K Street client's office building until I see
the bus coming.

And, of course, we're allowed umbrellas and raincoats up here.

The work I get to do, I suspect, is a bit more exciting and mind
challenging than hanging around in Estrogen, Florida, clearing lots and
rebuilding pool bars.

Your wife calls that rationalization. If you can keep convincing
yourself, go for it. I like being able to say I don't feel like
working today I am going for a boat ride.


I like working with the smart people I work with...rec.bloats is not a
place for intellectual stimulation.

Be truthful Harry, if not for the intellectual stimulation, you wouldn't be here.
