It is now a military recruitment center.<br /><br />shackman, I used to ask the "boys" why they always paid in cash and they said that otherwise, the authorities always confiscated their funds. They learned to program in Assembly Language of all the damned things while they were in prison. If you are programming anything in Assembler, you are quite bright and simultaneously dumb enough to be doing it in Assembler unless nothing else would do it. They never told me what they were programming.<br /><br />And, now I need to get some Sugru! I was unaware of its existence.The Old Fossilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309164084032722383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-63890579731538144412012-06-17T04:08:16.734-07:002012-06-17T04:08:16.734-07:00Conrad was our instructor and I was a salesman.

Yep - Sonny Bargewr was my best cash sale (around $5,000 or so) - he walked in and asked for me - Stout about had a heart attack - first oiver the sale and then over who he was. The Angel's VP - Cisco - was a regular in one of my Oakland stores - he used to hand ouyt and talk electronics., Cisco's day job back then was a lighting technicioan and part time actor in Hollywood. He was typecast as a thug usually - LOL _ and sent Sonny to me. Remember how our local delivery service was somewhat hesitant to make the delivery? That was a fun, funny day - one of many.Shackman https://www.blogger.com/profile/01690901432037614409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-73106714236674370822012-06-17T04:03:10.534-07:002012-06-17T04:03:10.534-07:00Indeed it would!Indeed it would!Shackman https://www.blogger.com/profile/01690901432037614409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-16305766076039348942012-06-16T22:35:49.793-07:002012-06-16T22:35:49.793-07:00It would be marvelous, Rummuser!It would be marvelous, Rummuser!The Old Fossilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309164084032722383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-43570343162011889522012-06-16T22:34:50.992-07:002012-06-16T22:34:50.992-07:00Women are the best at learning these things in our...Women are the best at learning these things in our culture, Padmum.

However, in India it is quite customary to get all the personal details pat within 5 minutes of meeting--where they come from, married, single etc., siblings, interests. All these questions are put forth and answered with little discomfort---very naturally. It is not being inquisitive, just showing a personal interest in a person. And if the person is an eligible person--marriage I mean--then our minds automatically go click, click, click...like your database...and think of matches from suitable families that can be considered, recommended!!padmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322186309612774429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4574370384536640867.post-58145109127005116642012-06-15T23:44:13.425-07:002012-06-15T23:44:13.425-07:00Two LBC bloggers who appear and disappear, Anu and...Two LBC bloggers who appear and disappear, Anu and Ashok, strictly in alphabetic order, are people that I met in flesh after getting to know them somewhat via the blog world and email/telephony/IM.
