C'mon, man, sometimes you need a few pages of printout that you can

The last thing I remember printing was a conservation permit. That's
usually a base for a fishing or hunting license but theoretically you need
it to hike/camp on state lands. I used to get the tribal permit to hike on
the rez but after they raised it to $100 they can kiss my white butt.

I used to print stuff out. There was a comb binding machine and an
assortment of various sized combs to make a neat job plus a number of the
traditional three ring binders. I haven't done that in years.

When we shut down the division in January and moved to another part of the
building the PM had to work his way through 25 years of hardcopy
proposals, documentation, and so forth. We got a laugh from some of the
walk down memory lane. It was almost as good as looking through the stacks
of obsolete programming books. Many trees sacrificed their lives.

I remember strolling through the stalls at Vanderbilt's library. My God,
there were so many interesting books.

On the basement floor I found an interesting traveloque book by Philip Wylie.

(His book "Gladiator" is interesting and free as an e-book.)

Technicality, n.:
In an English court a man named Home was tried for slander in having
accused a neighbor of murder.  His exact words were: "Sir Thomas Holt
hath taken a cleaver and stricken his cook upon the head, so that one
side of his head fell on one shoulder and the other side upon the
other shoulder."  The defendant was acquitted by instruction of the
court, the learned judges holding that the words did not charge murder,
for they did not affirm the death of the cook, that being only an
inference.
