“Who scouts through wilderness and cold
And finds the stone that turns to gold,
The gems of Nature's wealth untold--
The Engineer.

Who gets five paltry plunks per day
To give the thing he finds away
To some one else who makes it pay--
The Engineer.

Who's heart is always in the game,
When trouble comes it's just the same,
But when it comes, who gets the blame?
The Engineer.

“Running fast is useless if it is in the wrong direction. Even worse is to run fast into a bottomless pit. It is better to walk sometimes, and even better, to be conscious and still, and do nothing sometimes. To be conscious one has to be unconscious "asleep" a lot." - Solomon Vimal (geothara.com)”

“We can be skeptical -- demanding evidence before we believe in people -- but hopeful knowing they can change for the better”

“Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them.”
