Hope you had a good one, Don!

Happy Birthday Indeed!
Imric's Tips for Living
- Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
- Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
- Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Have a happy one. Don't get arrested...
Just saying. No particular reason. But do have a happy one.

Have you met my family?
Arrested development. The party plan. Don't grow up till forced to, and other descriptions of this concept fit my family so freaking well. Hell, I didn't stop being a teenager till I reached 30 (chubby cheeks helped). Seems like most every blood relative I have on my dad's side of the family has subscribed to this view on life. And then the majority settle down. Right around 30 years of age. (I don't count the one in jail for 25 years as he didn't get out till he was 40 - early release for being good, probably starting around the time he turned 30 ya think?). Nurture counts for much, but I gotta think some nature is invloved here as well. Is there a ne'er do well gene?
I was once known as my family's white sheep.
Cool, huh?

Possibly.. at least, akin.. scary, innit?
A Half-bro, who managed to spawn 7 and, via mutually impoverished imaginations at the font of all early tyke stimulation - well, that opera was an intro inducement to moi, to think thrice before zygote roulette:
Rouge? Noir? or, worst of all - those damnable 00s
Coincidentally re larger scales - a recent Chron article was authored by an exponent of '(Why) No-kids'; this POV prompted the expectable scolding paeans to fecundity / assertions of the authors' surely twisted psyches. (Then another agreeable writer chimed in, "(..haven't regretted my decision) 'for a nanosecond.'"
Latest letter added, (finally) one Reason -pregnant in its omission- from the earlier discussions: "that invisible elephant in the parlor" / overpopulation.
News just in:
Re the newly-prosperous Chinese, dazzled by the degree of opulence manifested by traditional Murican hog-in-trough use world resource consumption to-date -- we hear that they are now chafing at the one-to-a-couple rulez, made by those Communist-Gods of yore -
This, as they more and more often select: the Larger UAVs - which they play with in strategic mud-hole 'Parks' on the outskirts / their substitute for mercenary sports teams, thus far?
So then, given the usual Death-Duelling Gods + a plethora of Chinese male-triplets, too? ... what are the odds *Now* on planetary survival, eh..?

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
