After intense study of this here "GIS" course I'm taking this semester,
I have come to the realization that it is about "mastering" a computer program or such.
That means that I'm screwed...Or, I can put on my "big boy pants," study like crazy and learn all of the file pathways, etc so that I can put on my Graduation Cap this Spring!
Yep.
They already wantin' money for caps and gowns, diplomas and such....
Sheesh!
Y'all behind me, right?
Best,
Scott
As Old Abe said about "Bein' ridden out of town on a rail...."
Ridden out of Town on a Rail
Being ridden out of town on a rail was a very public and humiliating punishment in colonial America. Typically, the victim was forced to straddle a fence rail held on the shoulders of two men. He was paraded around town and subjected to ridicule for his offense. For example, the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
offers a depiction of such a punishment. When Homer Stokes, the Grand Wizard of the KKK and the “reform candidate” in the election, objects to the music of the Soggy Bottom Boys on the grounds that they are racially integrated, he is ushered out of the auditorium on a rail.
Was Abraham Lincoln ever ridden out of town on a rail? If so, what on Earth did he say to draw the wrath of his neighbors in central Illinois?
Lincoln's quote, a few years before my time:
(Yet, somehow, I feel as if I were there.....)
"You have heard the story, haven’t you, about the man who was tarred and feathered and carried out of town on a rail? A man in the crowd asked him how he liked it. His reply was that if it was not for the honor of the thing, he would much rather walk."
Sorry.... Damned tangents of thought.
Again....

"Don't worry, Comrade.
Drink up!"
The jokes are on you,....
Alles klar?
NICHT!
I still have dreams of.....
Ever hear of the "Cold War?"
Yeah. It was pretty warm where I was.....
Can you say, "Nuclear?"
Though I won, in my dreams, it all becomes a nightmare......
Yeah, I'm sometimes an "All-Nighter!"
A "Joker?"
You decide.....
(When I have to be.....)
