    I'm so old now that even the pedo teachers look too young for me.

    UFO/aliens……

    I can't give you proof of UFOs, aliens, heaven, or hell. That's what makes thinking about all that stuff fun.

    OT: Colors

    Don't really think about it. I wear colors that look nice on me without regard to sports. Red looks like shite on me though so I don't wear it. Never been confused for a Rebel.

    UFO/aliens……

    I feel like an intelligent designer wouldn't have limited themself to just our tiny blue dot. There's more out there.

    OT: Declining High School Enrollment in MS

    I don't think how they vote is going to be the ruling class's biggest worry once the Medicare/SS chickens come home to roost.

    OT: Healthcare

    That's how we manage our situation. High deductible, low premium. Take advantage of HSA incentives. It's not a bad setup but we've also been fortunate enough to avoid needing pricey medial care (knocks on wood). But I also realize a lot of people don't have access to those and their personal...
