At random: NAUTILUS has long been touted as the first Nuclear powered submarine. In fact, she was the first nuclear powered "anything". Nothing that moves was ever propelled by nuclear power before NAUTILUS.

Not that I really have any but I happened to be talking to a young guy who was doing a dirty little job at the marina the other day scrubbing bird poop off of the hand railings that visitors lean on to see the views. I commented that he had "the sh*tty little job detail" that morning. A few comments later I said; "There are no unimportant jobs. If someone is willing to pay you to do it, so long as it isn't illegal or immoral it is an important job" Now I'm not sure that is all that profound but I got to thinking, if you had only ONE piece of advice to give to someone else what would it be?

So, give me yours. Remember you can only do one piece of advice. This would be the only bit of knowledge you would ever be able to transmit to anyone.

Learn anything anyone will teach you to do correctly. No one can ever take that knowledge away from you.

Back in the day -- early in the submarine bbs era -- a very wise, old, grey-bearded gentleman who will go un-named told us this about expensive toys and wives:

"If you want fly it, float it, or F**k it -- you're better off renting it."

Keep a positive attitude - your friends will appreciate it, you will have more fun, and it will frustrate all the petty tyrants who delight in ruining people's days.


Variation #1: Smile - Your friends will be happy to see you, and your enemies will wonder what you are up to.

Go to your local grocery store or farmers market and get 8 to 12 ,(depending on size) rhubarb stalks. Take them home.(Ya gotta tell them everything). Wash , De vane, (ya know like celery) and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Chill in 'fridge overnight, (this is to bring out some juices) Make or buy pie crusts or shells. In a large place rhubarb and juice. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar slowly and mix into rhubarb slices. Also add about 3 heaping tablespoons of flour slowly and mix. Preheat oven to 450. Add rhubarb to pie crust and cover with another or lattice the top. Bake at 450 for 15 minutes and then lower temp to 350 and bake until done. about 25 to 35 minutes. Cool in 'fridge and then eat,

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT add anything else to pie.

This was no mistake. There is nothing needed to be added to the pie.
