I don't know how I can solder a tiny wire the width of a hair with no
depth perception. I just don't have it.....???

Don't feel bad Larry, I have been Color Blind since I was 12 years old...
For a RadioMan & Telecommunications Tech, that makes kind of HARD to do
Color Codes, and 500 Pair Wire Splices. I just compensate by ALWAYS
having a very Bright Flashlight in the toolpouch, and with Color
Corrective Glasses, for the last Decade, I can get along.....

No alcohol, and the women were recognizable only by imputation - they
were the ones scurrying about covered head-to-toe in burlap or some
such. Never saw a pair of female eyes. The men had a neutral
countenance at best. But nobody cut my throat.


When I lived in Iran (late 77 to 79) the women were quite "Westernized"
until towards the end when it became apparent the mullahs were going to
take over and a purge of whoring females might become reality. After
that, it looked like Jeddah, all of them in burkas.

While in both Iran and later in Bahrain, my Iranian and Arab friends
would invite me to their homes and, at first, I was quite astonished at
what their women were wearing UNDER those "burlap" burkas! Spike heel
shoes, French cut clothes any Paris prostitute would have been very proud
to own! That's why they had 'em covered up....to hid them from the REST
of us!...(c;

In Tehran, once in a while I'd get a raised eyebrow in the company of my
New Zealand girlfriend, Ann, whos departure from my life was the absolute
worst stupid thing I ever did....not following her home in '79 from
Tehran. If anything New Zealand comes on the screen, I fell awful for
hours over "what could have been". We lived together, but kept it
discreet in Tehran under the Shahanshah. We would have been stoned to
death (I have many recent stoning videos from Iran) now. They beat a
twenty-something couple to death with big stones after burying both of
them up to their chests and packing the dirt in so they could not escape.

I don't want "Freedom of Religion". I want "Freedom FROM Religion"....

Even if it's just a kiwi fruit?
But I know what you mean.
