... and now my former speedreading capability is coming back, albeit not as much or as fast as I would have liked.

I've not finished the decalogy yet. Gotta admit the events in the first two books alone, in spots, were/are way too likely, if not already prepared for by the RL regime in place now.

In TOM SAWYER, Twain laid out a difference between "Work" and "Play".

"Work" was what one HAD to do.

"Play" was what one WANTED to do.

Going along to get along, feed one's family, keep a roof overhead... That's WORK. Dirty and difficult some times, but it MUST be done.

Being a politician, for all intents and purposes, is PLAY.

With OTHER peoples' lives.

Oh... I note "Gadsden yellow" and "FC yellow". The branch color for armor units in the Army is yellow (Infantry is blue, Artillery is red, Medical is maroon, etc)... but not much armor in here so far.

gotta dive back in ; its my day off.
