Scientist, veteran, human, and probably some other stuff, both good and bad. It's all a matter of perspective. I thought my grandfather already beat the Nazis.

What the fuck? Everyday it seems they find new ways to sink a little bit lower. At this point, there is no bottom.

They cancelled the annual snowboard race up here on Baker due to low snowpack. This portends a bad fire season I'm afraid.

Have you seen this petition yet? Hold Congress Accountable: No Pay or Benefits During Government Shutdowns

Perhaps not being paid would provide some incentive to shorten, or ideally, prevent shutdowns. Since most are independently wealthy, I have doubts, but it's a start. c.org/STK7ftxghG

Mike Johnson says it's "futile" to bring House back during shutdown The speaker signaled he's willing to blow through the November deadline.

The point is that they continue to get paid during the shutdown and should be a work out of deference to the workers not being paid. It's time they earn their paycheck.

Is There Any Hope? Has the plane already crashed?

I love reading James Fell and this is great reminder that even when everything seems to be going sideways, we shouldn't stop trying. It sucks that we're in this situation, but we must persevere.

I took a job with a startup about 5 years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made. It has had its stressful moments, but I regret nothing. Best of luck!

It's like that old saying in the NBA that you can't teach height. That's why seven footers go early most of the time.
