I used to be a huge Ferrigno fan. From Pumping Iron and Incredible Hulk days. Paid to have my picture with him at Comic Con. Found out he’s a huge MAGA. Deleted photo from all devices and Facebook.

Interesting, not a single engineer in sight on that cover. I had no idea that CEOs created the product and code

I live in Texas. A few years ago I attended my grandson's school Christmas program. He's autistic and was one of the Christmas story readers. I was overcome with emotion. On the way out I apologized to the principal, saying I was "verklempt." Couldn't think of a better word for what I felt.
