@Viss My dinner was Chicken and Andouille Gumbo; no okra (wrong part of the country) but extra jalapeño and Anaheim peppers. Only works if you make enough for 10.

Probable epitaph: “He was gainfully employed every day of his life until it killed him.”
When I am Emperor, service will be mandatory and all those who like loud bangs will be conscripted first. That way they can get all the loud bangs they can stand, and then some. Just like I got and no longer appreciate. Then they might learn what true patriotism is.
@bryan I work with a man who had a stroke while being born and has only partial use of the left side. He bowls better than I do. Also works at a keyboard for a living. And he’s wicked smart. A true inspiration!
@bryan That’s awesome! Thank you. The hearing is okay. Not bad enough for a hearing aid. It only prevents me from following conversations in a crowd or listening to a movie at a 10 PM volume. I never realized how directional ears are until the big boom or how variable sound tracks were. Apple iPods are my friend. They compensate nicely!
@bryan Well, I’m slightly deaf if one ear due to an artillery mishap (not mine but I was the recipient) and it’s annoying as hell, but my livelihood is earned at a keyboard and I’ve too much arthritis to retrain my typing now. I’ll take the deafness. Bonus: I won’t hear the M-80s anymore. 😂
