Delightfully abrasive. A student of human depravity. Cynic. Sinner. Lover of afternoon naps.

Now noiseless
In the cold
Lungs sting
And breath visible on the air
We listen with hope
But nothing hear

The secrets now gone
Into darkness and cold nothing
Only To be whispered
And ignored again
Come spring

[Dustin Hammit @DustinHammit]

Fall winds whisper
Mundane secrets
That everybody knows
But no one remembers

And the leaves
Give them voice
So too the crows
Yelling without fear

Till in winter leaves fall
And crumble and crunch
Underfoot and on the ground
As teenaged dreams
Under middle aged boots
…

Most of us need fewer friends and more intellectual sparring partners. Friends are pleasant and easy to come by, but intellectual sparring partners question our assumptions and force us to level up.

The US Navy hated him, the USAF scrubbed his name from the National Air-force museum, the Army shrugged him away but the “Ghetto Colonel” did not give AF about money or applause. He rebuilt our fighting forces despite the FOGOs

Today we need a Fighter Ship Mafia
We need Boyd 2.0

It is a fallacy to suppose that we can plumb the depths of the human souls and extract a mathematical function.

In the social media and the internet age, news of bad things seem worse because it is so in your face now. But that evil has always been there, lurking in the background. Also the beauty. Also the good. This was a recent discussion with one of my kids.

[Dustin Hammit @DustinHammit]

Not convinced that humans are any more/less good-evil, ugly-beautiful today than they have ever been. Culture (geo-dependent) has improved but we are individually just as capable today as we have ever been at being really ugly (and beautiful).

Ppl hearken to tales of the good old days but we did some rough shit to each other back then. Also tales of extraordinary courage and decency.

My thesis is that long-term mortgages will be the new thing in real estate. This is but the tip of an iceberg. Will the gov to allow conforming 40 (plus?) year mortgages? Only a matter of time.

Food for thought:

For the first time in world history there are more people on the planet over age 65 than under five.

That will have profound implications for the trajectory of human population and thus of human civilization.

@kellethall I appreciate the compliment. I’ll always be a writer. But I also don’t enjoy starving so it’ll likely stay a hobby.

The original quote was “when SHIT gets rowdy”. It was tamed down for the masses.

@LEOTJYoung @DeputyPatrol Some people try entrepreneurship and know it isn’t for them. Same for LE. I think we are both where we belong in life.
