Every time an appliance is plugged in Useless Uncle Loren will have flashbacks from seeing one of his brothers fall, after tripping over some cables, spraining an ankle and breaking his rifle. Never to be recharged…
The old soldiers no longer deride the young guns for how easy they have it. China’s Corona 30 has capped human life to around fourty five years of age. No one remembers how the first wars were done.

)
I applaud their efforts and appreciate the challenge it is to accomplish what we’d like to see I this field of work. But this is not a “we did it!” moment.
never mind. I wouldn't give a wooden nickel for that abomination.
