It's called "growing up".

Flew half-way across the country on a private plane for a business meeting.

The mayor used to know my name. Hollered at me at Mardi Gras!

Went to a party at the woman's house who owns a vast chunk of downtown. Got to see the Mardi Gras parade from above.

Me too! I have a pile of broken or malfunctioning guns and I want to figure out each problem. Had dropped out of gunsmithing for the past year or two, want back in.

That's all because you're bored. The world isn't geared for genius level intelligence.

No voltage drop, but it's an easy 80', maybe 100, maybe even a little more. Hard to say as it cuts through the woods.

Picked up an old Fluke at the store, I'll try an figure out how to read amps.

Finally spotted some vipers in my area so I started researching what to do if bitten. Basically, clean it up and "Call me if it's not getting better." Still, I'm wearing my combat boots every time I'm in the wild from now on.

Dunno know about Cretan dragons, but I've never even heard of someone getting bit in the South (US). I'm around them all time.

Think one nipped me as a child, but I'm around them all the time and never heard of anyone getting bit. We get some absolute units down here!

Would you like to know more?

You just scared me into weighing myself. Looking in the mirror yesterday worried me that I had suddenly lost a bunch of weight. Actually gained a couple of pounds!

Had an Akita in the day. Dude looked like a black bear cruising the house, and he was bigger than the actual bear I caught on my trail cam last week.

Ha! I've been bitten by rodents a time or three and never had a spurting wound! Little dude must have been infected with rage.

 

Finished a short horror tale yesterday. Is there a spot on lemmy that would get it read and criticized?

 

It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power.

I was a toddler when he was carpet bombing Cambodia, never knew him as anything but "an important person" that was sometimes on the TV. Only learned of his crimes in the past decade.

How did an in-your-face war criminal retain such influence for so long?
