All in all after thinking about it, I think we should have just gone from 2019 to 2021 and just skipped it. We’d all be better off. Who would have known anyway? The year that will live in infamy. ---

Some good, some bad. On the good side, my second grandson was born a couple weeks ago, and he’s healthy. My commute is also down 2 flights of steps instead of 28 miles in lousy Central Maryland traffic. ---

See, I’m a long term type of guy not interested in short term issues so my concern is the type of country we’ll leave for my grandsons and their kids. Live free or die as they say in NH. ---

Well, which is it? 1.21 gigaWatts or 121 gigaWatts? Glad they also included (142 km/h) speed. -Ahead of their time for 1985.
