Another irritant for the leftist weenie crowd...



I was just contacted by the Op/Ed Page Editor of the Ahwatukee Foothills edition of the Tribune saying, since I have this way of writing letters-to-the-editor that get everyone's shorts all twisted up in a bunch, how would I like to write a regular monthly column ?:-)

So the hillbillies will have a new supply of paper for the outhouse?

Man, there's that many people around there passionate about electronics? What are you doing, promoting PICs?

Analog PIC's ;-)

Well no wonder there's such a fuss. How do they work? Are there moving parts? Do they make noise? Can they run on fossil fuels? Sounds really exciting, tell me more. ;-)

Plasma powered ;-)

This begs the question: Are you going to do it?

If so, can we read it somewhere online?

I'm mulling it over.

My style is not essay, it's hit-and-run one-liner zingers... sort of like a sniper ;-)

So writing a column could be a challenge.

Yep.

You'd probably want to come up with a few month's worth of good ideas in advance so the deadlines wouldn't enter into it.

If you were on the three medicines for Diabetes that I have to take, you wouldn't EVER have to worry about being regular. :(

BTW, I saw a new VA doctor today. A vast improvement over the old one. :)

On the other side of the coin just reading the news should produce a choice of 1000 / 2000 word essays each week.

No, they are merely close together and both impacted but the same disc one step above the seperation. Or, ask your Doctors.

No, He was a better doctor. He was a cardiologist who retired a few years ago, and decided to go back to work. He listened to the questions I asked, and answered them. He is even trying to get me an examination at the VA hospital's dental clinic to remove two infected teeth. The last doctor would just roll her eyes and tell me, "I've seen worse looking teeth". I swear, she was so big that she had to turn to get through the doorway. I wonder if they sent her back to wherever she came from? :(
