It is surreal to write about a life filled with modern technology using a protocol that has largely been relegated to the past.

And yet, I find that we can learn a lot from the past.  New is not always improved.

Last week, I visited the Strategic Air and Space Museum near Omaha, Nebraska, USA.  When we showed up for a tour, we were not met 
with a bored twentysomething, but an actual veteran, who knew some of the people in these historic events.  Don was amazing and
funny, with an insight that was well worth the price of admission.  (Do the tour on a Monday)

Perhaps Gopher has some insights to share.
