     Most likely would get a laugh in space if "someone"
     is listening. They would have to have one "HELL" of
     a sense of humor !!!
 
 In among my many confusions of quest, I entertain an
 irony of selected humorous moments. Some are innocent
 and simple, others self honed in perky jade and (self
 perceived) clever probes. Trying to restrain my eclectic
 mindswings takes some effort (as you've probably noticed .
 Part of me is a "kindly old fart" but there are some still
 crocodilian chills that help me (hopefully) think a bit more
 clearly. I'm not always sure **WHOMmmmmmmmmmmmmm**  of me is
 posting.
 
 By nature I would be a "so called" artist, by vocation I
 WAS mostl;y (in the heyday of dinosaur main frames), a
 diagnostic programmer. In that type of programming you must
 trick a sinful computer system into telling its most private
 ooops!  ...scheme kindly to trap its logic errors however
 rare they manifest .....coax it into whispering its most
 embarrassing defects. Does bend the mind a bit! I learned
 from it, a little of the art of distrust and a mite of the
 humor in design ....that a computer COULD do so much more
 wrong, so cleverly, than it could do right.  Of course
 computers became super reliable, and now I'm just a retired
 ol' grandfarther!
