... because i've been using computers since ram was measured in kilobytes. I still like my books, though.
... because i was born in Pensacola with two grandparents closely tied to the early space missions (grandma once got to meet Ham). Apollo, Gemini, Mercury... The Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is one of my favorite things to do there, besides tour the old Spanish forts like Barrancas.
I'm also really good at guessing based on limited data. Standardized testing ftw.
There's easily ten or twelve big-ass hornets buzzing the hedges; evil motherfuckers up to two inches long with three yellow stripes on the tail. From the safety my son's bedroom window i can see them grooming themselves and flexing their stingers and generally harassing any other bugs that wander into their airspace. The neighbor's yard is full of butterflies, i get hornets.
The pest control people treasure their weekends, apparently, so it's up to me to engage the little bastards. I went out in full battle gear; padded coveralls, my thickest jacket, SOD boots and a towel around my neck and head. I can't find the nest. It's probably in the hedge. but when i pulled the hose crate out it wasnt in there, which was where the smart money was. They seemed to guess my intentions, because they got really agitated and formed intricate battle formations. I tried to quell my fear (in case they can smell such things) and i let fly with my can of raid. I think i got four or five of the bigger ones. I was tempted to sport a lighter under the spray, to add sincerity, but i dont know what effect that would have on the poison, and i'd really like to avoid gettin' that shit on my hands.
Now it's just a waiting game, sit back and pray the pyrethroids to kick in. When their ranks are decimated, i'll have more freedom to search out the nest. I'll win by attrition if i have to, but i'm going to win, dammit.
This is MY yard, bitches.

Your result for The Color Code Test...
Color Code: BLUE: The Social Butterfly
6% Red, 54% Blue, 34% White and 6% Yellow!
Here is the basics: For a more in depth analysis, I suggest you look up the Color Code, and take a more intensive test.
BLUE MOTIVE: Intimacy
BLUE NEEDS: To be good (morally), To be understood, To be appreciated, Acceptance.
BLUE WANTS: To reveal insecurities, Quality, Autonomy, Secuirity.
SUMMARY: Blues are motivated by altruism. They love to do nice things for others. they look for opportunites to give up something in order to bring another person happiness. selflessness rather than selfishness is their guiding philosophy. Blues seek intimacy. They want to be loved and to love. A true blue will sacrifice a successful career to improve an important relationship. Blues crave being understood. They are gratified when they are listened to, when they feel understood and appreciated. Blues may have thier hearts broken more than most people, but they also spend much more time in love. Blues are directed by a strong moral conscience. They have a moral code that guides them in their decision making, their value judgements, and their leisure time. A blue would rather lose than cheat. Ethically, blues are people who should be in positions of power, but seldom are.

Briars and thorns promised to whip them
The hawthorn said he would answer any questions
The birch said he would make doors to other countries
The yew brought us weapons
The raven punished our enemies
The oak watched the distant hills
The rain washed away all sorrow
