    I wondered who Earl was. Michi is here also, she's reading all the past threads to get a feel for the place. Where is everyone, I was cooking dinner. Should I put up the open thread? It's not very interesting.

    Greg apologized for his Tourette Syndrome comment on the HH thread. That's good. We all say things we later regret occasionally, I'm glad he apologized.

    BTW, I will title all untitled posts. Little OCD, maybe. Whatevers. That's how a I roll.Shrink, once we have young Skywalker, nothing will stop us from ruling the galaxy. Lmsinca, having started a blog, and participated in spontaneously combusted list-groups before, I'd say we're actually pretty productive. While I can think of some list-groups I've been in that were hyper productive in output, the vitriol-to-substance ratio was awfully high. Aside from the numerous technical posts about the blog, I think we've got a very high signal, and very low noise, over all. I'll put it this way: I'm really like what I'm seeing so far. We do need a few more people, because all of us have things to do, and I can envision periods were I'm out of pocket most days, most of the day, and it will be good to have people to help us keep things going. But, given this site was barely a glimmer in your eye a few days ago, I think it's doing very, very well.

    I'll tell you who earl is.He is an electrician at a wastewater treatment plant, 64, fat, with the same hairline he had at twenty, but it is thinning and always was high. heavy brown or black rimmed glasses, never had fused vision and has no depth perception. Went to high school at St Francis Seminary, Mount Healthy Ohio, the minor semnary for the Franciscan Province of St. John The baptist. Read lots over the years and retain lots of whatever I read. What goes in sticks and I retrieve it at sometimes odd times. On graduating high school went to the second year of existence of the Dayton Campus of Miami University (The real one, dating from 1814) and the Ohio State Graduate Center. Inflicted upon that school its current colors, Green and Gold. Two Republicans with no affiliation at all with the school then inflicted its current name on Wright State University, but by that time I had gone off to join the Army, got flatly and irrevocably rejected, and did a few months working in am Industrial Chemistry lab. Went back to school but played too much bridge and dropped out and went back down to the Army and lied about my eyesight, and they let me in. I didn't know it at the time but I was scheduled for mandarin Chinese at Monterey DLI, but since I foolishly let the Army pressure me into applying for OCS, and got immediately accepted, and assigned to Signal Corps, I screwed things up a little. Now an unknown bean counter had a masterful idea: there were SO many college graduates being drafted, (this was summer 1967) that surely they didn't need college drop outs like me, and talked the Army into dropping us all from OCS and giving us back our original enlistment choices. This pissed off the ASA rep at Fort jackson, who thereupon gave us all our SECOND choices, thus putting me in Morse Interceptor School. I was a fast learner but a slow masterer, but eventually I became one of the very best, and over eight years I chased Viet nam war related communications in Viet Nam, Thailand, and on Okinawa. It is not a good MOS in which to keep one's sanity and I went in just a bit nuts, And one day they decided I was nuts, took my clearance, and shipped me to Fort Lewis. When that contract was up I went home, tried to get in the Coast guard and failed, got in the navy as an Operations Sepcialist, (Radar Operaotr)did two and a half years riding a Frigate out of Yokosuka, decided that the navy wasn't my style, went home, worked for the Government at Defense Electronics Supply center and then went to work for the City of Dayton.I am an Advanced Class Amateur, N6FXB, active in the Dayton Amateur radio Association and its fund raising arm, Hamvention (R) I've been a demicrat all my life and haven't heard anything from anybody sufficient to change my mind.Politics is may passion, and teaching what ever i may teach. I have a son who was the true Boy Scout, and now is a medic in Afghanistan, whose aid station has the distinction of having had to perform three rhyno-tracheostomies, where most medics and doctors never even see one except in training films. His oldest sister, three years younger than he is, now has my slot at Monterey, learning French for the Army. His younger sister, 15 and a half, is in high school and wants to be an engineer and work for Mythbusters blowing things up.Compared to the rest of my side of the family these kids are just normal and very staid sticks in the mud, because the rest of us are nuts.And mark, if he was an E-7, and if he was in nukes he was NOT a corporal, he was probably a Spec 7, one of a very few.

    cef/Earl: you are absolutely and utterly fascinating! Thanks for that life history.And now I get to ask a question that I've been dying to ask, but didn't want to for some reason on the PL: what is ceflyline? I've googled it in all different permutations, knowing your Viet Nam background, and can't make heads or tails of it.
