I have been very busy lately and it looks like posts for the next three weeks will be sporadic.

Sorry about that but things are busy. I have an inordinate amount of things to do.

Someone asked me what I was going to do when I retire and it's a decent question to ask.

Probably get a few hours part time somewhere to stay busy. The other thing I am going to do is to see if I can spend some time with GIs that have are amputees. For some reason I seem to get along with a lot of them simply because I don't dodder all over them.

Most people are uncomfortable around them. Look at how people in an elevator clam up when a wheelchair bound person rolls in. They don't know what to say.

I just treat him or her with a good word, the same way I do everyone else and am generally treated to an appreciative smile.

An amputee is just like everyone else. Most of them just want to remain useful.
