According to something I heard recently, the Egyptians were able to desalinize the sea water, grow veggies and live fairly comfortably on their voyages to such as South America (long before all those European Johnny Come Latelys started "finding" North America). Best regards, RA1

I know it is human nature to explore, but life in space is terribly hard on the human body (everything is hard on the human mind). Did Chris and the gang or the Vikings or the Egyptians really face comparable hardships? Yes, death is death but the suffering leading up to it can be decidedly different. Best regards, RA1

I play with those gals (or very similar). Best regards, RA1

Some people will do anything to get it up. Best regards, RA1

I quite agree that establishing a permanent moon base makes the most sense. I don't know if there are enough private bucks to do this and when did the government make sense? Best regards, RA1

My urologist told me that 50% of all impotent men are not, except with their wives. Best regards, RA1

MsG- Of course I remember testing tubes. I also remember wondering why all who stuck their hands in there did not suffer the fate mentioned by lookin. It was a thrill to have your pop come back with more than one replacement tube. That kind of made the whole exercise worth while. Naturally, whatever improvement was extant with replacing tubes was simply temporary. Something else failed or was less than 100% soon. How did we survive those early days? And this was way before color. Best regards, RA1

I once saw VP in the terminal at MEM. He was standing around talking to a few gathered around him. I didn't get out a yard stick or any such but he appeared to be about 5 feet 5 inches tall. Doesn't matter, of course, I still enjoyed his performances. Best regards, RA1

That is quite a shag. Nine feet thick. Don't forget adjusting the rabbit ears, banging on various parts of the cabinet to straighten the picture, knowing from memory which knob was the vertical hold and which the horizontal, etc. Best regards, RA1

On the whole I think I would rather have a Snickers. Best regards, RA1

Somehow I do not think this is the beginning of a reproductive cycle. Therefore it will never be "ova". Best regards, RA1

To repeat myself: My doc who is a "real country doc" said to me, "don't worry unless you feel BOTH of my hands on your shoulders". Best regards, RA1

I have heard this kind of admonition many times over the years to include the likely urban tale of a guy taking a nap on a park bench in Rio and waking up minus a kidney. These words of wisdom apply anywhere in the world and basically at all times. Best regards, RA1

I agree with Zip's definition of executive (also leader), at least during business hours. However, when the owner of a small business tells me he wants to work smarter, not harder, I have to think he is only half right. You have to do both. Best regards, RA1

Today I need an anti-Fleet. Must have been something I ate. Best regards, RA1

AS- When did you work for a Japanese conglomerate? Best regards, RA1

I understand that completely and do not disagree at all. Best regards, RA1

It must be an executive's desk set. There is no sign of work materials or equipment (other than the comely lad). Best regards, RA1

Surely thou jest (jesteth?). MS. Enders, indeed. Best regards, RA1

Insomniac? I have some of my most brilliant thoughts late at night but then I wake up and cannot remember them. Best regards, RA1

I suppose MA citizens aren't as progressive as some might think. At least not the ones serving on this jury. As in all US death penalty cases, it will cost more to put him to death than have him serve a "real" life sentence. Therefore it is vengeance or revenge, not economics. Whether or not it is justice will have to wait upon the ages to make that determination. Best regards, RA1

Too many years of watching the sun rise in the east and set in the west. I am now a permanent squinter. Best regards, RA1

I also hope things swing around and you are able to enjoy your visit. Best regards, RA1

Idle hands are the devil's workshop. I hate that. However, it does seem to be pretty much a world wide problem obviously to include the US. Best regards, RA1

Ditto to AS. :) Best regards, RA1
