    JM>   I still feel like I did when I was 18.   
    JM>   Of course I was in pretty lousy shape then.   
      
     Round's a shape.    
      
    >   Now, that takes talent...probably why you're the moderator.    
      
    JM>   That, along with a bit of graft.   
      
     And, let's not forget corruption     
      
    JM>   For a long time I simply used the blank avatar for my social media   
    JM> photo. I called it my "witness protection photo".   
      
     Well, my photo in my Train Conductors outfit has been out there for so   
   long, I'm sure it has been tagged by now.   
      
    JM>    That is seldom needed here.  Only rarely when discussion wanders too   
    JM> close to the no-no's.   
      
     I've seen other echoes where the Moderator sends a message to an offender,   
   with the words "NETMAIL COMING!!".    
      
    JM>    Uh, yeah, some things are best left in the past.  :)   
      
     Don't feel bad. I need blind ham radio operators to direct me out of    
   hamfest parking lots and hospital parking decks.    
      
    JM>    We got some much welcome and needed rain from Fred.  Good long slow   
    JM> soakers.   
      
     Storms are heading my way now, so I'm doing quick BBS work, before I have   
   to shut down. There was a potential for storms overnight, and I didn't want   
   a renegade lightning strike to fry things.   
      
    JM>   Like the Farside cartoon I've mentioned before.   
    JM>   Two panels.   
    JM>   First panel: "typical day on the highway" with cars going along.   
    JM>   Second panel: "First snowflake of the season" with one lonely   
    JM> snowflake falling and cars driving off the road, into each other, etc.   
    JM>    That's this area.   
      
     Same here. They wait until the last minute to evacuate downtown,    
   including the state government offices.   
      
    >   It takes talent to look important...as does being a moderator.    
      
    JM>   Something I'm good at.  :)   
      
     I would say so.    
      
    > they have to find 5 people to do the work that you did yourself.   
      
    JM>   At least that many.   
      
     Oh, you require more??    
      
    >   What was the old cigarette motto about "Better Fight Than Switch"??   
      
    JM>    Tarleton.   
      
     I had wanted to say Tareyton, but I could not remember it.   
      
    JM>   Too much of a good thing is never good.   
      
     I'm only one step away from being rich. All I need is money.
