It is hard to find a single person.
It is hard to find them when they're alive and mobile,
Tt's hard to find them when they're not well,
And it's hard to find them
if they're buried under rubble.

______________________________________________

There are no knowns.
There are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns - that is to say,
There are things that we now know we don't know
But there are also unknown unknowns.

There are things we do not know we don't know.
So when we do the best we can and we pull all this
information together,
And we then say well that's basically what we see as the
situation,
That is really only the known knowns and the known
unknowns.

And each year we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

The first one was written by Rumsfeld, wasn't it? I kind of like it.

John,

As much as I love Emerson, you might consider replacing your signature with another quote:

I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum. - Piper

One of the best options this board has is to turn off
the viewing of signitures.

Your 15 minutes are up!

Well, it is more fitting with my general demeanor, B-Man.

But,

"Since our office is with moments, let us husband them."
