It's always a cost-benefit analysis, often
done on the fly, often wrong.
Usually done wrong if done on the fly. Done best by deliberately, even
slowly if needs be, following each step in order.
There are those who do things better on the fly.
One can sit and second guess oneself until the
cows come home, and that isn't a good thing either.
Worked out well.
Quite so, never would have gotten to see/do as much as we have. Originally he was going to do only 4 years but the lure of 3 years (turned into almost 6) in Germany was hard to turn down.
What was that song quote you use as a tagline,
again?
Not sure which one but the next move (to Berlin) brought another re-enlistment. Coming out of Berlin he had 9 years, figured to go to 20
at that point. The time needed for HI meant another re-up; promotion
made us decide to stay to 26 to give him 3 years at that rank (a bit
more in the retirement pay check by doing so). So, we got to try
anything from guacamole and calamari in CA to fajitas in TX to spaghetti
eis and doners in Germany..............you get the picture.
I'm still dubious about that spaghetti-eis.
Tail gunner is not an easy job. Never done it but read about it
enough > to know I'd never want to do it.
The guy was obviously traumatized, and some
of the things he did are explainable by the
PTSD he suffered (we didn't know the details,
about his service or about PTSD, back then).
I can see that, from what I've read about the time, aircraft, PTSD, etc.
I'm imagining that any tail gunner was rraumatized
through danger, noise, and the responsibility to
kill people.
How often do you need to shop for foodstuffs
on the Internet? I seldom if ever do, but then
my state of connectedness is below average.
Not that often but Steve just ordered some of my favorite tea (Good
Earth Original, Sweet and Spicy) the other day. It's very hit/miss
finding it in stores so this will keep me happy for a while. (G)
Happy is good.
change in their routine.
Most likely not, and the trails aren't that wide so walking beside

Behind probably is better - discomfort before
danger; but getting back to the original
point, why go at all.
As a point of discussion only. (G)
No need to discuss an impossibility, but I guess
that's what speculative fiction is all about.
Sounds like a good idea to me. (G)
fugered, eh. Figured.
Sorry, fingers didn't listen to brain again.
I thought it was my misprint.
Much easier, but Bonnie's school buddy Dick
Robbins worked with Ruth Prawer Jhabvala,
who did original screenplays and adaptations
with equal success, her most awarded work
being the latter.
What movies? Last one we saw in the theater, IIRC, was "Voyage of the
Dawn Treader". Steve did see a Star Wars one also but I took a pass, not interested in them.
She pointed me to a list, of which the only one
I recognized was A Room with a View, which was
perhaps the worst movie I ever saw.
