A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Wow. Incredible. Just after this happened, I saw one pic that I initally thought was a picture of the rubble from 9/11. It looked that bad. I didn't realize until reading the caption that it was actually in New Zealand. It's times like that that make one realize how small the world actually is and how interconnected humanity is. I grieve for them.
