Random Thought of the Day

Quote: DRich

I don't know what it is, but mosquitos don't like me very much. I rarely get bit yet my wife constantly gets bitten. She must be more tasty than I am. We came back from a vacation once and we counted 63 current mosquito bites on her and I had one.

Blood type differences? I think that is one of the reasons. Also, who smells more like limburger cheese.

I generally get no reaction from a mosquito bite

Chiggers and ticks are another matter

poison ivy has to make good contact, rubbing across bare skin, or I get nothing from that either

I wonder what people here think about Death
do you believe there is something after Death____?
personally, I'm not religious -
I think that after Death there is absolute nothingness

Just watched an episode of my favorite YouTube channel
Mayday: Air disasters
This was Lauda Air started by Nikki Lauda
I always knew he was one of the greatest F1 drivers ever
He also flew passenger jets as a pilot such as the 767
Incredible man
One of his airline planes went down
He himself was determined to find the cause
Even going to Boeing and he had them finally admit the problem
An engine went into thruster reverse during flight
Boeing claimed this wasn't a serious problem
Lauda proved it was a huge problem.
All engines fixed to prevent in flight thruster reverse due to Lauda.
Total respect for Nikki Lauda

Being a sensible guy, I didn’t think you’d suggest it to your wife even as a test to see what happens.

that's what Raymond Chandler, the author apparently thought - the title of one of his best books was "The Big Sleep"

he wrote:

"You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that, oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell. "
