@Daniel_Bonds I like them all, but prefer mustard. The more BBQ I eat, the more I’m interested in the quality of smoke than the sauce. As a Geography grad student in the 70s, my wife got to participate in the field research defining the regions.

@EODHappyCaptain Ft. Lewis June ‘70. SDS greets us with his opinion on mustaches—“I’ve got the same stuff growing around my asshole.” Took everything in me not to ask whether that meant we were supposed to grow our mustaches or shave our assholes.

@aliciasheares Congratulations. No doubt fulfilling your life’s dream to teach at an ACC institution.

@dessielclark My HVAC son could use another tech … to cover weekend calls and crawl through basements and incredibly hot attics.

@FromPhDtoLife Nearly 50 years after finishing a History Ph.D., I have never once regretted getting the Ph.D. After organizing professors for 3 years, I never had a job requiring a Ph.D. nor one in which it was not significant value added. Very happy not being an academic.

@HolyCitySinner This is not what happened in other states that deregulated. Residential consumers lose.

@blu3r4d0n After watching the General Assembly closely for 45 years, I have to wonder what the bad news is in their not passing more bills. I also wonder how many of these “bills” include memorial resolutions, road naming, etc.

@FromPhDtoLife I became a lobbyist. A grad school buddy became a fire fighter.

@dAllenChaneyJr Not to mention that every roll call is readily accessible on the General Assembly’s website.

@mikemaddenwx @AcademicChatter History Ph.D. In the ensuing 46 years, I’ve done mostly nonprofit policy research and advocacy and voting rights and redistricting work. Occasionally, I do history. I did it by doing it. I get up happy to do work every day.
