things I've learned in the last 3 days.

1. gauze bandages are used for patching wounds because they don't stick to the wounds. paper towels are not used for patching wounds because they do stick to them.

2. motorcycles are dangerous

3. and you can get a job flying toy planes for a living.

there is a guy my dad is friends with who has never had a real job until now. His wife is a nurse and he spends most of his free time building/flying radio controlled planes -slash- being a stay-at-home father. I'll try to make this shorter than the version I heard. He started teaching some class at night school; K-state heard he was good at flying planes; he got paid to consult their engineering team and fly the plane; army hears about him and wants to hire him; he gets a job flying their radio controlled planes that spy/shoot missiles in Iraq - $100,000 a year.

moral of the story - if you're really good at something, you can do whatever the hell you want. (eventually)
