Regarding the Massachusetts numbers... I have no idea where the facts and the truth are. And there's enough stuff that even the tinfoil hatters are starting to say that this virus has been on our shores a lot longer than a couple of months. That being said, I agree with you that statistics chosen we...

One of the things that stuns me is that it seems that some places are actually discouraging exercise when we need that now almost more than ever. Shutting down low-density outdoor operations like parks and the like, to me, is insane. Considering the nasty cold my neice and I caught about a day afte...

Mine was my mother's doing.

It was the nickname she gave me as a little one and I've been using it as such ever since.

Its more likely to have a connection to the old Amos & Andy radio show than any relationship to my real name, John Nelson.
(She did grow up in the '30s-'40s when that show aired)

I really need to get my old one (a Tek 465) fixed. The problem is that I need a 'scope to fix my busted one, and I can't lift my 545A any longer... Where can one get stuff like this fixed? Don't know the answer to that myself. I personally have a Tek 549 that hasn't been turned on for a couple deca...

Being in the southwest corner of the hottest county in Massachusetts, I am seeing quite a bit of proactive action going on. The government has done some less than constitutional regulation banning any public gathering of groups over 25 people, restricting restaurants to take-out only and shutting do...

More men are wearing skirts and its practice is on a path to being normal attire. It is, however, happening at a nearly glacial pace. 22 years ago, when I first found this forum, even kilt wearing in public outside the occasional Scottish or Irish festival was pretty much unheard of, much less skirt...

I think it’s a simple question. I have a bit of envy towards women - that is their ability to wear what they want (from my perspective, I can never fully understand their situation). So in the realm of fashion - specifically skirts - did you initially envy, and later did that envy go away as you re...

I'm reminded of the old saying: "The truth will set you free" The outcomes can vary from positive to negative. I got profoundly lucky in that my mother and sisters were positive about it. They actually showed encouragement in the matter. I actually got a couple of skirts from them. My father was acc...

My last one was a bit of humor. A bit that, like Carl said, hits remarkably close to the mark. In general, Engineers are problem solvers. And that generalization works whether he's at the throttle making sure the locomotive keeps rolling down the track, making sure the ship's engine(s) running, fixi...

The days of the military here spec'ing out weapons-systems and seeking bids for construction are long over. I think that's half right. From what I saw as a co-op student a couple decades ago and how the air force did their systems development, they still handled the big picture at that time, and do...

I always thought of an engineer as someone who does precision guesswork based on unreliable data provided by those of questionable knowledge.

Over the weekend, I visited the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel in Boston and attended the fan run science fiction convention called "Arisia". It was fantastic. I did sight countless kilted gentlemen (both traditional and modern styles), any number of cosplayers, and counted at least a half dozen men...

My thoughts on leggings: They are specifically meant to display the outline of the legs, hips, waist, glutes and "that region" without violating the rules of decency. Mechanically, I see them as a derivative of the long-time classic known to the ballet scene as tights, which have been considered dec...

Happy belated birthday old man! Skirt on!

For mine, I went with a blakc waffle knit henley style shirt (xl/tall makes a good tunic length for me, reaching the tops of my thighs), light gray leggings, and black overknee boots in stretchy sueded fabric.
