Let me say this about that. OK, let’s start by being honest with each other. Question: How many of you out there really understand what the hell is going on in the Middle East? That’s a pretty hard question so I’ll ask another, more simple one. Question: Why are the Israelis and […]
Let me say this about that. Many older folks, including myself, complain that the modern world is going to hell in a handbasket. Some, however, make the argument that life on the planet Earth is no better or worse than it has ever been. The issue is that we have so many new and faster ways to get news […]
Let me say this about that. A friend of mine happened upon an old copy of an entrance exam for the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) the other day. He and I graduated together with bachelor’s degrees from this prestigious engineering institution, sometime shortly after the Civil War. Just for fun, he took the exam again to see if he still […]
Let me say this about that. The very fact that you are reading this blog indicates you have, at least, a modicum of skills regarding personal computers and the internet. You may not, however, be so knowledgeable about the technical requirements of publishing a blog, creating content, editing and managing “HIT” statistics. It’s not so difficult and after […]
Let me say this about that. I was in Key West recently because I had been called for jury duty in Federal Court. Engineers usually are not popular choices as potential jurors because we have a tendency to employ a tool unknown in the legal profession – ‘Logic’. Logic is like ‘Kryptonite’ to a lawyer. Their view […]
( Please enjoy this Classic LMSTAT while Shambo is performing his civic duty and serving on Jury Duty this week.) Let me say this about that. During the years I lived outside the United States, I was often asked about daily life here in America. Some of these questions concerned trivial subjects like: “What exactly is […]
Let me say this about that. I have met some pretty smart guys in my time. I even used to think I was pretty smart until I got to know a few of these guys. Smart people, like the fabulously wealthy – ‘are different from the rest of us’ – and operate on an elevated ceriberal plane […]
Let me say this about that. Like most guys, I believe real “spousal communication” is an oxymoron. No matter how hard a guy tries, he is never really successful in achieving true communication with his wife. Why you ask? Because of the “wife-filter”. Whenever a guy says something to his wife, it goes into her ears and […]
Let me say this about that. Did you ever try to teach anything to a ten year-old boy? (you granddads out there can chime in any time). I’ve tried it a few times, but I gotta tell ya, it’s completely beyond my skill set. Oh, it’s not that I lack the education – I’ve done my […]
Let me say this about that. “People say believe half of what you see, oh and none of what you hear …. “ This line is lifted from the 70′s Gladys Knight & the Pips hit “I heard it through the grapevine”. And in today’s blizzard of communication media spawned by the internet, truer words have […]
