[SOC] I've resumed dumpster diving

[Bob Nielsen]

Are we supposed to call them "Skip Roma"?

It's hard to remember what is politically correct, since the definitions 
change from day to day.

One nice thing about getting old is that I don't give a damn about all 
sorts of things.

If I was concerned about being politically correct I probably wouldn't 
be SOC.
