"Drive your train, Trouble with you is the trouble with me, Got two good eyes but we still don't see, Come 'round the bend, you know it's the end."
You caught me mnky
Not supposed to be a direct reflection on our sitchs... It's not the most uplifting song in the world.

Just got through skimming your threads, my new Pilot friend.
I will add one thing to Machs - NY to LA post.
Have you ever heard of the STOCKDALE Paradox?
He was a POW in Vietnam.
I can not give you a link to it for TOS reasons but if you look him up it is a very interesting story and very similar to what MACH is telling you about the trip.
Stockdale did survive his POW ordeal, but many of his comrades did not.
Another tid bit I have always liked: Years ago I read Citizen Soldiers by Stphen Ambrose. The book has some great quotes from vets in Western Europe during the drive to the Rhine and the encirclement at Bastogne.
One of the vets reflected on his time in Bastogne during that brutal winter. One thing he mentioned was "the tryanny of the present" years later, of course, he could reflect on that terrible time. Sixty years ago, however, logic and patience proved very elusive for him.

So are you saying that in 60 years we will know exactly what to do in our sitchs?? By then we'll all be in the nursing home with Rick1963 roaming the halls for a sugar mama!

We can't stop Rick form being Rick. If we did, this place would be so boring and we would have to find someone new to pick on.
Purg, I found that useful because no matter how bad things stink today, chances are tomorrow will be much better. I'm already to the point where my day no longer revolves around the realationship (or lack thereof) with the W.
