WHAT IS THERE TO KNOW ABOUT THE marshmallow kid?
I don't know much about introductions but having done it a few times, I guess a good way to start is at the beginning. I was born in the Deep South and have been a juvenile delinquent, a Boy Scout, a Cadet in a couple of Military Schools, an Explorer Scout and spent seat time in several Universities and Colleges. My survival skills are based on logic, and I think the first rule of getting through the tunnel is to never give up and never give in --- because no matter what you are confronted with, a cool head and the ability to improvise overcomes more than all the trick gizmos and latest whatchamacallits ever invented, tested in our labs, and seen on TV. Human Grit will gain more traction than all the other stuff you can carry on your back, on your belt, in your car and canoe, and have stashed between here and that other point in time and space you think will make life a little better and a little easier if you can just figure out how to get there. Nothing beats being comfortable in Hell on Earth and being able to make notes, because anything worth living through is worth remembering, even if it's inside your head. Oh yeah, the head is also the best place to carry maps, directions, and all kinds of stuff, just like the belly is the best place to keep water when you're going on a hike. I've said enough to give those who read through this enough to think about, and probably more than those who were hoping for something easy to give up on. I already know I'll enjoy this site aplenty because I've peeked at parts of it already and I love to read what other people think about the same problems we all face when the fan begins to throw nasty stuff back at us.
