  1. A quotation from The Bible

    No one can stand a person who talks too long and will not give others a chance to speak.
     
    ὁ πλεονάζων λόγῳ βδελυχθήσεται,
    καὶ ὁ ἐνεξουσιαζόμενος μισηθήσεται.

    The Bible (The Old Testament) (14th - 2nd C BC) Judeo-Christian sacred scripture [Tanakh, Hebrew Bible], incl. the Apocrypha (Deuterocanonicals)
    Book 22b. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 20: 8ff (Sir 20:8) [tr. GNT (1992 ed.)]

  2. Tidbit from a local ham: they went to Big Bear in a bus over the weekend for a ski trip with the local ski club, but the bus got stuck in a parking lot because the diesel fuel froze (apparently you have to have the right formulation to avoid freezing). And he never managed to get to the slopes. And one of the folks he went on the trip with fell over and died while they were checking into the condos (!). #hamradio #chatter

  3. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Speech is too often not, as the Frenchman defined it, the art of concealing Thought; but of quite stifling and suspending Thought, so that there is none to conceal.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 3 (1834)

  4. Quebec on Thursday!

    Is there a word for: “excited to meet new people, train in a new place, and freeze to death, all at the same time.” That’s how I feel.
