they were sold out of the “good enough Dad” shirts

Ahahahaha!! Love it! :) (And @Doctor Toon - good point!)

As I tell my kids, I’m the best mom they’ll ever have. And the worst. And of course the funniest. :-)

Makes me wonder why there aren’t more kids named “World”

I got caught in a “Storm of the Century” once; rather they called it a “Century Storm”, the worst storm you’d expect to see in a given 100-year period. It’s a statistical term.

It was down in Georgia, in 1985, when I was in Basic Training at Ft. Benning. It was our first night of Field Training, living in tiny canvas tents that we’d only just learned to put up. Around 5:00 the Drill Sergeants and officers figured it was useless to try to do anything productive under those conditions, and they even gave up on trying to feed us. So they told everyone to get back to their tents, change into dry clothes, and wait it out.

Of course, canvas pup tents aren’t waterprooof. Rather, they absorb water, and as soon as you make contact with the tent side all that water comes rushing in at the point of contact. I figured it was futile to try to enter the tent and change my uniform, because in that cramped space by the time I got a fresh set of BDU’s out of my duffle bag and changed clothes I’d be just as wet inside the tent as I already was outside. (Bear in mind also that there were two of us trying to do this.) Since I was already as wet as I was ever going to be, it seemed that the logical course was to stay outside in the rain. All night, if necessary…

Strive for mediocrity, it’s good enough.

This century is in store for some much worse storms than it has seen so far. Especially if the deniers don’t get out of the way and let the responsible scientists and politicians do something constructive.

And after all that babbling, Adam! ROFL

Still and all, I do like Adam’s point.

Not to be picky, but the next century will take 90 years to arrive
