What made him want to work in that field? It isn't a common field interest.

My Dad grew up with parents who talked about dreams. He's also a philosopher at heart and has a personal library of thousands of books. And even though he was a missionary in India for 20 years, (along with my mom, of course), he's not religious about his science.

yeti,
(Prov 10:5 KJV) He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.
(Prov 20:13 KJV) Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
(2 Th 3:10 KJV) For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

When I was in training for heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) I went to a call with my trainer for routine maintenance. My trainer, Bob, is a pretty quiet guy from Maine. The (older) woman customer brought up the last guy who had been out there, and said he looked like he didn't belong in the business 'cuz he was younger and well dressed. Her husband said to her "hey that's not nice". My trainer said to her "you mean we're not handsome guys?" She said "oh that's not what I meant".
We both were smiling 'cause that was funny lol. When we went back out to the truck I laughed my butt off

Since my sweet 16 has arrived and left and family has come and gone, telling baby stories and making me blush, I realize how loved I am.
All of my parents' friends have known me for the majority of my life. Some say it takes a village, It took a small city to raise me. Yes, a city of about 500 people. And they all have their baby stories.
One of my favorites came from my dad. When I was a youngin' of around 3, I asked Santa for dental floss for Christmas. My sweetie laughed and said how he wished I was that low maintenance today.
When do you guys feel most loved?

There is a fruit that has high levels of capsicum. There is a berry considered a vegetable. There is a root that is called alu in one language. In this order there is also tobacco and morning glories.
What is this order? (KYHeirloomer and other botanists, not fair for you to answer  )

I love central Oregon, but there is one big thing really missing here. East Asian grocers--there are none, except what the big grocery chains like Safeway have, and it's not at all the same.
I am all out of sambal oelek (ok not east Asian but those grocers usually have it). No cha siu bao (or however one would spell it) I can just go buy frozen even. No selection of Thai curry paste. No east Asian condiments except the most common. No Indian grocer. Man this place is beautiful but the lack of Asian grocers sucks!!! No top quality Indian tea. No mansoor dal. No bumbu gado-gado. No spicy black bean paste. No miso.
Last time I visited Corvallis I talked to an owner of an Asian grocery, who recognizes me as a customer from when I lived there, and asked him if he ever considered opening a store in Bend (here). He said it's a nice town but he wasn't sure he would be successful since we don't have the same customer base here. There in Corvallis there's a stable base of east Asian students at the university.
Craving the stuff now.

Speaking of dreams...
Quite a few years ago I ocassionaly had the same dream - I was back in college and suddenly became aware that I had an exam in a couple of hours but somehow I hadn't realized I was in the course and hadn't gone to the lectures, let alone done the reading. There was a certain of agonized thrashing around and then I woke up in a cold sweat.
A little later, another alum wrote to the alumni magazine and described the exact same dream. The Alumni Bulletin published his letter.
They got dozens and dozens of letters from other alums, all saying "migawd - that's my dream!" We must be subject to mass insecurity. 
Mike

Haha Mike. I think many of us have had the same dream. I surely have. Panicking because I didn't go to class every day and because the final exams came up too soon, and wondering what all I missed.
