"Getting there" and Jimmy Carter Hmmm, Diaryland doesn't seem to be doing very well. I was a gold member once upon a time, and I loved looking at the links that brought people to my diary. Back then, I would get random goggle search traffic, where people would want to look up "golf blisters" and find their way to my entry about a one iron I got from a play it again sports. I suppose landing in my diary wouldn't answer the questions that they started out asking, but I hope it was an interesting story anyway. Getting where you set out to go is important, and you want to do it more times than not. Getting there is a lot more than just there. The entire potential world could lie between you and any given destination, depending on that "getting." Don't shut your eyes to that everything, just for the "there." I'm not at work today, because today is a National Day of Mourning for Jimmy Carter. If you had told young Jimmy Carter, while he was learning how to crew nuclear submarines that one of the top fifteen contributions he would make to the world would be the nearly total eradication of the Guinee Worm, I can only imagine the confused look on his face. But I imagine after the confusion there would be a smile. You need a good perspective on the "getting" part of "getting there" if you are using a nuclear submarine as part of your conveyance.
