Like the 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins, only with hobbies. I like drawing, writing, woodworking, math, chemistry, physics, psychology, mycology, linguistics and languages (Spanish, French and English). Fountain pens are cool. Fascism is not.

I also enjoy playing and writing music. It would take another 200 years to try half the things that interest me.

I've made guitars from scratch. They still need a little work, but don't hold your breath.

Newest interest: software defined radio.

Colored pencils are okay, but do you know what *never* happens to my fountain pens?

Berol Prismacolor: for when you only wanted to use 85% of a pencil.

Still pretty new to this. Does anyone know what the licorice rope looking signal is between the FT8 signals?

I know I'm seeing a breach of etiquette, but the chiding I see from time to time in FT8 kind of makes me grin.

"LOOK B4 XMIT", "LOOK FIRST" AND "USE UR EYES". Implied: "YA DINGUS!"

Don't let theattack on the Iranian regime, how possible beneficial for the Iranian people distract from this:

Read a draft of the emergency executive order for Trump to take control of elections

Lawyers and legal experts explicitly said that such an order is blatantly unconstitutional.

"Now that Obama's poll numbers are in tailspin - watch for him to launch a strike on Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Trump, Oct 9, 2012

"I predict that President Obama will at some point start a war with Iran in order to save face!" - Trump, Sept 16, 2013

"Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly - not skilled!" - Trump, Nov 11, 2013

Trump ran an entire campagin on “No more stupid wars”, and “America First”, only to rename The Department of Defence to The Department of War, and proceed to attack both Venezuela and Iran, while constantly being offended that he is not offered The Nobel Peace Prize.

The US is led by the insane.

Invading Iran isn't about Iran. It's not even about oil. It's about ending elections and overthrowing the United States government. Fuck Trump and all the troglodytes who elected him.
