I think it is possible to apply again for the E-2, but let's see. After

A guy I was working with in my youth, in sweden, was extremely religious
and conservative, and he moved to Idaho 20 years ago, and started to
work for CAT or Deere. He was always unhappy in sweden, and once he
moved to the US he was as happy as can be. He even changed his name to
John from the swedish version, in order to fit in and cut ties with
sweden.

A dedicated immigrant - bravo!

As long as I can find a nice and cozy spot, in red and rural US I'm certain of it! =)

You are going to do just fine, northern Idaho is calling..

Ah, the joy of Idaho! =) The wife could finally have her garden as well!

Very wise. Way too many people tend to forget this. If they do, it tends to breed arrogance. After all, he is the source of all! That, in itself, should be enough of a realization to enable us to live peacefully. Sadly, we are all imperfect being. =(

I try and save my back-patting for minor skills that have taken way too long to master, the rest is His.

 Ahh... mastering vim comes to mind! ;)

This vim?

You do Python and Perlscript too?

I wonder how the Creator squared that with his upping the media power of Uniparty?

His ways are mysterious. A test perhaps? A teaching tool?

Yes, very much so I feel.

P.S. I'm just getting into the "cloud of unknowing" - the introduction is robustly overwritten, academia has to justify itself always.
Took a detour through 1600s Russia with a pilgrim - they really did live on bread an water.
I may need a bowl of Carmelites when I'm done...
