As of this January, I own my own songs again. This is something I thought would never be a possibility. After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs. I also have a say in where and how my songs are used. Up until this year, that is something I have never been able to do.

@Stonekettle COBOL will never die... as long as government and large corporations refuse to update their computer equipment.

Advice to young programmers: Learn COBOL. You will always find work. The original programmers are either going to retire, are retired or dead.

Great-great-grandfather came to the US from the Darmstadt region, in 1851 at age 18. Enlisted in the Union army, and was wounded in the Battle of Shiloh.

@StylixDS @RealParrotLady Yes, keycaps are their favorite "toy." I had several laptops damaged by Hezekiah.

The computer equipment is now in the office, a "no bird" room.

@thedailybeast @WajahatAli They are perfectly happy to kill off those they consider "lesser." That includes their own voters.

They think they are the "elite," predestined to heaven. Democracy stands in their way.

Classic Calvinism.
