Display some adaptability.
Could be wrong, don’t know it all.
Buzzword compliant.
I do computer stuff.
I'll restate.

Many, people did not, or would not, wear one properly. Their nose poked out, or it hung around their necks unless the boss was looking. They'd touch contaminated surfaces and touch their face.

I am relating what I see, what I know.

You are free to ignore me.

Sorry - two rifle squads and one mortar section during the war.

Maybe that loud-ass screeching was the bird, decades later, yelling for Agnes or George or whoever to COME GET HIM RIGHT NOW PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I MISS YOU.

I imagine way back in the 1940s - he was bought as a young bird by a loving, attentive owner. There was bonding. He was as content as nature would allow.

They passed on, he was passed on, to people who however kind they were were not his owner and life became a sort of hell for that bird.

I could hear him a block away, with the windows closed.

Mercifully, he passed after a year or so, of old age.

Bit everyone, except me, because I wouldn't let him get close enough.

Ate the thermostat - his cage was pushed too close to the wall for a few days.

Mastered the art of escaping from his first cage.

Screeched. I've owned roosters .. he was louder than a roster. Indoors.

Over in the White House Joe is shaking his head sadly.

'Bob knows better. Use your kid at a cut-out, like I do.'

They'll kick him out of the Senate for the crime of 'doing crimes dumb'.

The reason they have skull computers are for communication (how the radio works is not discussed), tactical information, a head's up display.

But it can also play movies. Music. Text processing. Probably even has bash and vt100.

Who wouldn't want that.

I know that cousin has been married forever - I was at his wedding - and has a passel of kids and now grandkids. I simply don't know who they are.

Which made me reflect: an entire branch of my family is more-or-less absent from my life due to distance and social media.

My only maternal cousin doesn't do computers. Never got onto facebook. All my paternal cousins are heavily into tech, and do social media. I talk to them all the time.
