freshly peeled bananas.
The ozone in the air just before a rain storm.
Other stuff mentioned above...like pine trees.
And the smell of napalm in the morning! |

| "Fantasy football" is socially acceptable in male circles. But not "fantasy naval warfare". Its easier to get into conversation with work mates about NFL teams that never met on the field than it is to invite speculation on how "The USS Iowa [our most advanced battleship of ... |

| A world in which autistics were more powerless than they already are would be bad, even for the NT majority bc the word needs folks of different attitudes and aptitudes to function. There are hopeful signs that the world maybe getting more autistic friendly. Private companies in IT even look for aut... |

| I dont think of George Washington, and his contemporaries, of having had any kind of electricity for ready use (should I tell the house slave to pick up Duracells, or Everyreadies at the store, Martha?). Thats why Franklin had to mess around with tying keys to kites...in thunderstorms...to capture a... |

| I don't think segregating people by any attribute is a particularly good idea. Not least because people seem to be almost endlessly divisible. You see this in any organisation - people group themselves by shared interest, shared endeavour or shared ideology and before long you'll have divisions wit... |

| I think due to the practical issues if convicted he will be sentenced to house arrest. Nixon was perfect fodder for satire, no politician has come close since. Almost agree. But we had two close runner ups back to back. "W" and Bill Clinton. Both had foibles and peccadillos that lended th... |

| I usually enjoy dreaming. I get along very well with people in my dreams. I am not sure if it's that I'm not autistic in my dreams or the other way around that every one is autistic, but everyone I interact with seems to be "clicking" with me. This is an interesting statement. One of the ... |

| I would have loved to have been around in 1954. The birth of Rock n Roll and the advent of London's original Routemasters both in the same year. I would have been in my glory and I would have been driving my parents crazy with that song. :twisted: Here is an actual British musician reminiscing abou... |

I didnt say it was impossible. I said it was difficult.
Clinton's sex scandals, and W's malapropisms, were an endless fountain of life-giving water for comedians.
Dana Carvey did a great HW Bush. I could post one his vids, but...it wouldnt be...prudent!  |
