Every time I meet a tank owner I think of Tank. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088224/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_8
LOL I've popped into a few Discord channels where they want you to put down your "Pronouns" and I put "Dude" and "Mate." Got asked about it and said "are you judging my pronouns?" Shut them up real fast and I got a chuckle out of it. Don't go there anymore either as it's all just dumb.
It shakes me up every year as I remember being locked down on Fort Irwin (where the NASA Goldstone DSN is located that I worked at the time) all on my own at a remote site being called and being told, "Did you hear about an airplane flying into the World Trade Center?"
Leaving work late that day, passing fully armed troops and transports to leave and seeing how they were preventing everyone from entering the Fort was crazy. Then just laying on the couch all morning (I had worked Midnight shift) and just watching Fox News wondering what the hell had happened. It still gets me every time and always will..
Another father of two here who also pulled their kids out of BS public school, though mine is Australian Public school so a bit more like California public school at this point I bet.
My kids have been happier, more engaged, and actually physically go to school ever since we pulled them out. Better friends now too!
Well worth the investment in my books.
I grew up listening to Rush on all our drives to the "Big city" of Las Vegas (shows how much of a desert rat I was) so much so that when I found an old AM radio with a Mono earpiece I snatched it up so I could hear Rush and Paul Harvey more.
I was an on again and off again subscriber to the Limbaugh Letter and Rush 24/7 but since leaving America I've only been catching Rush here and there. Hang in there El Rushbo, your life's work isn't quite finished and will not be forgotten by the Rush Babies and Dittoheads out here!
