Oh. See there, how outta touch I get, hanging out
with you guys? Its like the last couple years of
engineering school: everyone one sees from day to
day are other engineering students, so we don't
realize after a while how out there we are getting.
Most of the guys had girlfriends on the other end
of the campus, but mine was another engineering
student, so I haven't a clue. We recently had our
class 20th reunion. I recognized only 2 outta 20,
both engineering students. Guess thats why I like
extropians: its almost like engineering school,
except with people who know who currently occupies
the Whitehouse.
