Things my father and grandfather should have told me

Perhaps I'm an idiot. I'd like to think I'm not, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd argue I am. Be that as it may...... I am going to compile some material that is basically wisdom I wish someone would have sent my direction when I was young.

I taught a number of friends to drive because I owed it to the universe. Somebody taught me. Somebody needed teach them. This is the idea anyhow. First item: Authority.

Should you question authority? Absolutely.
Should you question THE authority? This is a much more complicated question. What's the return on antagonizing your parents, or a teacher, or a cop? It's usually a bad idea. So, smile, and say ok, or yes, or what ever they want to hear. Before you go to bed, open your journal and note that what they told you was a bunch of #%^&.

This is the first experimental use of Google Chrome. So far, it's lacking a feature Mozilla has that I really miss. If it turns out that it has a lot of missing features, I'll stop using it.
