I was thus able to sleep in until the glorious hour of 7 am. I needed the day off to finish my arrangements for a massive semi-illegal fireworks display this weekend. You see, I'm not only an optical engineer, I'm also an illegal-fireworks engineer.<BR/><BR/>And no, my baldness hasn't abated. I was just updating the profile, since its representation of my age had become out-of-date, and I left out the bald part. I mean, who cares?<BR/><BR/>Have a fine Independence Day. After the revo, we'll still celebrate the "old" Independence Day on 4 July ... we'll just add another one on whatever day of the year it turns out to be.Jim Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358539074647113747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9748383.post-1120223540529815842005-07-01T09:12:00.000-04:002005-07-01T09:12:00.000-04:00I was being facetious about you appreciating McCar...I was being facetious about you appreciating McCarthy's piece. Nevertheless I'm glad you took the time to read it.<BR/><BR/>I noticed the time of your post that "Terror From the Skies" was stamped. You might consider hitting the sack a little earlier. You're long past your prime and the long days an optical engineer puts in can be quite taxing. ;) <BR/><BR/>BTW, are you no longer not more than 3 quarters bald? If you've found a cure for that let me know. My hair is getting a little on the thin side as well. Although at this point, I'm not anymore than 1 quarter bald.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9748383.post-1120188639342114252005-06-30T23:30:00.000-04:002005-06-30T23:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link.

He has one vision of America, and I have a very different one. What he says about how his is best pursued is probably correct -- but not of much interest to me. When he writes about what "we" are trying to do in Iraq, to the extent that I'm his audience, there ain't no "we" there.Jim Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358539074647113747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9748383.post-1120137020084500912005-06-30T09:10:00.000-04:002005-06-30T09:10:00.000-04:00I'll bet you'd really appreciate Andrew McCarthy's...I'll bet you'd really appreciate Andrew McCarthy's piece at National Review Online.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.nationalreview.com/mccarthy/mccarthy200506290912.asp" REL="nofollow">CLICK HERE FOR "It's All About 9/11"</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
