The decidedly unmilitary side of me finds this appealing.

Asides from that, it's a great season.

So a friend of mine picked up a book that he's lent to me to read, and it is kind of a brilliant and painful read. Written in 1967, it's called South West The Last Frontier in Africa and it's 272 pages of a travel guide and Pro-Aparthied propaganda. Written by a South African civil servant Eschel Rhoodie, a man who illegally spent millions in public funds bribing western newspapers to write pro-Apartheid stories. All in all, not that good of a read, 2 Stars.

As soon as I could, I always took off on my birthday. The day before or the day after if it fell on the weekend. Now that I'm retired, every day is Saturday, so a lot of the fun in that is gone. On the other hand, I don't set my alarm clock, either.

I too take off my birthday. Recently I have noticed a strong desire to rage quit on my birthday, and since that would not be a good idea, i stay home instead.

How quickly an event's mood can go from "you were a hallmark of our town, we will never forget you" to "oh dear god, leave faster."

Cultural imperialism is a cruel thing.

It is not common knowledge that the dreaded bagpipe used to be a common musical instrument in Europe back in medieval times. Personally I don't think bagpipes sound that bad, but that's probably because I also tend to like the heavier church organ compositions.

It takes an Irishman to really play the pipes.

Because that is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Spock commonly did seem to be the more human character in the first Star Trek series with his dry sense of humor that was not supposed to be humor given his Vulcan roots, yet it was mechanical man Kirk who punched his way into the intimate embrace of many alien humanoids of the female persuasion. Kirk's sex appeal didn't work when Enterprise encountered that giant space amoeba, though.

And that is why Spock will always be my favorite Star Trek character (along with Bones).
