The Tin Man and the Oil Can


Yesterday was a productive day! I got a tune up, and was on my way! Murphy's Law says if you worry about something, it will not come to pass! But if do not worry about something, it will come to pass!!! Who was Murphy?! I have always wondered! WOW, I did not even realize that he was a real person .He as an American Aerospace Engineer who worked on safety-critical issues. He attended The United States Military Academy, and then served in the Pacific Theater. He then worked on high-speed rocket sled experiments, and other highly technical aircraft projects. He was very frustrated with the commonplace interpretation of the "cussedness of inanimate objects." He said one should always assume the worst-case scenarios! Wow, even though I tend to be a pessimist, I would really hate to be remembered by this uplifting phrase!!! But if you expect the worst, it can only get better! Furthermore, I like the description of the inanimate object, but I would change it to the "cussedness of animate objects"!


In other words, this old body is so frustrating, and driving me nuts!! Do you not hate the term, "it is just a part of the aging process!!! Or "the x-ray looks pretty good for someone your age?" What age?!!!


Keep on, goin on!!
