Uncle Roger wrote: What exception? In high school I actively collected science fiction books since computers weren't affordable yet to a high school kid -- I wore a slide rule on my belt because (1) I used it (2) that honestly was the easiest way to carry a Pickett and (3) the HP-35 came out in my junior year of high school priced about $395.00 more than I had on hand. But I've done my share of drugs, not much -- at my wasted peak back when I was in the USAF [74-78], I sometimes did cannabis twice in a month -- I'm not fond of it since it has the effect of reducing my paranoia and as an Angeleno presently exiled to New Jersey -- I'll move home when salt has been sown in the ruins of Sacramento I _like_ being aware of what's behind me; and I still do my share of liquor, mostly in the form of beer, although I did have a keyboard ruined once when a cat jumped onto it upsetting a can of Midnight Dragon Ale on the way, but it was just a nameless cheap PC compatible keyboard (if crap like that becomes collectible except by _weird_ specialists, I'm going back to slide rules, though I still have the inert hardware) and yes, I've ended up in jail a time or two, though never for crimes against persons or property -- an activist takes his risks and knows what the risks are. I've been addressing you as _Uncle_ Roger and you're _ten years_ younger than I am? I better go take a nap. People my age shouldn't be processing their email at almost three in the morning, especially if they got up for work at the previous six AM. -- Ward Griffiths Dylan: How many years must some people exist, before they're allowed to be free?
