Hence the gruesome photo slide show over a sumptuous Omaha corn-fed steak dinner at the company HQ in Ft. Scott back in the day. To get fed next month: don't do those things. If nothing else, mid-century age guys are real good about sleep time-fatigue is the leading killer- and that job 'll 'be there in the morning'. Percentage maneuver rule #1: don't learn from your mistakes- learn from from Dumbo's mistakes-it saves energy and you live to age 56. The dispatcher can spin in his office chair I'm getting in a nap... and that takes a half century of wisdom.

No truer words were ever said.
There is nothing in that wagon that is worth my life. Is one reason i have used in the past.
