Farewell

Apparently, I'm from Ecuador.

Can't get away from plastic. About 30 years ago we went from dumps to waste-to-energy. About ten years ago, we went to sorting our trash and putting all the plastics/paper in a separate bin which we now have a W2E and Recycle facility. It's been a model that other cities/countries come to visit to emulate.

Hmmmm... Thank you. I hadn't thought of that in years. I may have to pass on the 50 states and do this. This is my last year for a long bike ride, so saying I did the Canonball would be like a WFFC rite of passage. Time to give it up. Getting too painful as time goes on.

Thank you, but I'm beginning to think it would be easier to pencil in a route on an old-fashioned map. Wonder if Rick wants to go :)

You're half right.
-
Be well, Don

Thank you, Jerry. Google was able to find the 1996 map, but it appears they didn't hit all 50 states.

Hamiltonian?

The other day; I asked Gemini to plan a 48 state motorcyle trip where I don't go through any state twice. I think I broke it.

And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, oh, no, not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way

He did not prioiritize humanites over engineering - in addiiton to. My suspicion is Kallend being a well-read scholar found Aristotle's model of liberal arts to be of value. To be more well-rounded in many subjects other than their major - For what is an engineer that cannot speak/present to a group other than engineers?

Jump the main for a few to get re-oriented. Get an AAD. Reserve will be fine as long as the rigger doesn't ground it (for age or other reasons). My ground training after a nine year hiatus wearing the rig was, "What's that handle do? What's that handle do? What's that handle do? There's a plane with a slot on it, take it to 5k and do a HnP. Don't die." I heard. Have fun. Be safe.
