5. it's a great place to decompress from life/political stressors
....there are so many funny, witty people who hang out in the lounge.
....the many funny, witty people are also very bright, and well-thought people.
....I can hand out spankin's.
....and most importantly, I have met some of the very best people EVAH by hanging in the lounge!

34. I'll try to give you a laugh, merh.
I am an instrument maker.

I fabricate large scientific instruments.
I'm just a shop rat. I machine and shape metal
to make components for optical telescopes.

As you can see by my avatar, I am interested in solar astronomy,
as an avocation as well as a vocation.

In my work, I have crossed paths with some prominant and innovative
scientists and engineers.

The 'off campus' research is most intriguing.

They are ready to send a man to the sun.

There is live video from the control room, a screen grab is here:

I've tried to slow down, that's why I've not been on line too much lately.
