Southern herd  two thirds

Oakstone Free

Born into a family of life-long Democrats, first inkling that they had taken a wrong turn was when they nominated McGovern. Attended Texas Tech University, went through Army ROTC, commissioned, and specialized in munitions/EOD. Served during "Wishy-Washy" Carter's presidency, which turned me into a Republican. Left the Politically Correct service, got a masters in Chemical Engineering. Proving I was a slow learner, worked for the Federal Government for the next 30+ years (forcibly converted from CSRS to FERS after 3 years), escaped (retired) during Obama's second term, and discovered how badly OPM had screwed me in the retirement conversion. Conservative, work and education made me an "expert" in safety (explosives, firearms, construction, industrial, OSHA-certified), environmental modeling and cleanup, explosives use and manufacture. Sufficient classes for a minor in history, study of history a hobby.

    Yucchhh. Not a cheese lover, I was forced to spend a day and a night in Gruyere, Switzerland supporting the visit of Rosalyn Carter. The only food available at the gasthaus and the restaurant was various forms of Gruyere cheese. I also had to inspect the dairy barn and the cheese factory ahead of her visit. Even if I had liked the cheese, the smell of the factory would have put me off it forever.

    He has been in my daily prayers since he died. He was a good online friend who loved to share cat pictures and videos – he filled the available space with his “Ten Cats” page with a small portion of the pictures he shared.
