Sigh

Listening to the reports on the Space X spacewalk today. The reporter commented, without a hint of irony, that the private company was able to get the walk done more quickly and more cheaply than if it had been done by government.

Kudos. You outdo Swift (Jonathan, not Taylor😂)and Twain in your social commentary.

Sort:  

In business, it's well known that you double your price when dealing with government, and I'm not joking. My legal services company handled the state's agency work... at the normal rate. What can I say? I was young and idealistic.

Ah ha, I might have known you'd be a Swiftian.. Jonathan, not Taylor
'A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout' 😂

😂

That Swift quote...reminds of your blog on Weekend Experience, describing how much you enjoy being around children😁

I recall my father quoting it to me when I was but a wee nipper. I never fully trusted him after that:)
