Autocorrect and failure to proof read are powerful adversaries.
Funny thing about common sense - its not that common.
You can't deviate unless you have a plan.
Responsibility is a unique concept... You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you... If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible. Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. Father of the Nuclear Navy

...Up at the Blackhawk Farms Raceway, in South Beloit, Illinois, it was 1971. I was there watching a friend race his Lotus...OR, was it a Lola. I know it had a Bad-ass F.I. 4 Cylinder Engine. They run the Small Engine Race Cars First. When they brought out the Big-Blocks and Prototypes, for Their Last Race, I heard over the Loud Speakers...

I just found this one yesterday, inside the first cover pages of the book Airframe (1996), by Michael Crichton, which seems to RING EVEN MORE SO TRUE today, some 30 years later :
"The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new respectability to uninformed opinion,"
Veteran reporter John Lawton, 68, speaking to the American Association of Broadcast Journalists in 1995.
WE CERTAINLY DO NOT HEAR THIS OFTEN ENOUGH!!! To think I worked so hard to make this reality happen...... (Cable TV fiberoptic distribution systems......and TiVo's! Ugh.)
