For those who like chemistry. I had started down this path in high school and early college. Cool stuff.

As I recall, I think I did too, way back when.

Pulling a horse trailer opens your eyes to the stupidity and carelessness of the "average" driver. Live loads can not stop or avoid fools quickly.
Oh my. I just heard that Chick Corea passed away earlier today from a rare form of cancer.
He will be sorely missed.

Well, as GOF's, we are.
In a horse area, drivers know how to respect you. On other roads, I'd want escort vehicles in front and back.
FedEx'ing a horse is interesting.
Wasn't quite ready for college actually and needed a job. Planned to take a year off then go back but didn't. Got a job that led into an IT career and stayed with it. I started back to school in the early '90s doing evenings/weekends. Then we relocated to Dallas in '94. Started back in '96 and finished a BA in business in '98.
We're doing school online tonight because of weather. Listening to Chick's stuff now.
Friends (the LP, bought it way back when) is my favorite (of many, all of them actually) Corea recordings.
I can attest that it's a hard slog working and going to school. I did the night school thing after high school while working all day in a factory. People in class doing the same would fall asleep only to be lectured by an arrogant prof. Then I worked full time for a while, quit and went back to school. Worked jobs to pay the rent while attending school full time. I honestly don't know how I managed to do it.
