Spreading the good!

This past weekend I made my way from Seattle area to edge of Montana and Wyoming, with a goal to go to South Dakota for a few days..

A little preface though to build up to the climax.

As was heading back to Vashon from a night out (think it was a woo-woo night), spotted a shop.  On a whim, and at the last minute, did a U-turn, then a couple other weird traffic maneuvers, to park in their parking lot and entered the shop.  Was looking around in amazement until one of the workers helped me pick out something to try and experiment with.  With this trusty package in my possession hopped back on the scooter and took off for the ferry.

Long story short, never got to try it out and it sat at my desk unused, but smelling wonderful, in it's sealed package.  The elapsed time was two to three weeks.

Then my journey out of Washington state began and the concern of having this package of stuff was starting to worry me..  If I was going to Oregon wouldn't be concerned, but since was passing through Montana I needed to find someplace to get rid of it.

About halfway to Spokane pulled over to get some Taco Bell, thinking that was the best place to get rid of it.  Upon walking into what I thought was Taco Bell, realized it was Burger King....  Quickly hightailed it out of there and walked across the parking lot to the real Taco Bell.  Figured could easily spot someone that could use this, but no such luck.

The search continues....  And off I went, heading towards Spokane, WA, again.

Spotted a rest stop to go into and have a look around, which I did, didn't see anything interesting so kept on heading on...

At this point was starting to worry and thinking would have to just throw it in the trash.  I paid decent money for this little package of goods and really wanted someone to benefit, so the search continued.  Figured would have till at least Spokane Valley to find a good use for it before needing to ditch it someplace.

So, kept trucking on down the highway and pulled into the next rest stop, where I found an older red pick up that has seen better days, with it's hood open...  Hmmmm.....

Did a quick walk by of the truck as went to use the restroom and saw there was only one person in there, resting or taking it easy....  The hood was up and medium wisps of steam was rising from the radiator.

As did my business in the restroom figured would take a closer look at truck and the occupant.

Approached the truck, a little apprehensive, and glanced at the engine.  Yup, they're definitely taking a rest and letting the engine cool down.  At this point am assuming they overheated.  The driver's door is open and they're letting the fresh air wash over them, enjoying the nice sunny day as much as possible..

So then I blurt out something akin to: "Excuse me, I'm leaving the state and wondering if you could use this?  It's yours if you want it, if not no big deal.".

Their initial reaction was curiosity, then they inspected package from afar, then reached out out to grab it and inspect it, suddenly uttering: "This is exactly what I needed!", as their eyes and voice trailed off in wonder and amazement.

This is where I slightly overstayed my welcome I think, though they didn't seem to care.  My last words were something like, "It's yours if you want it as I have to leave the state".  Their next statement was  "It's been soo long".  Their eyes were still focused on who knows what, looked like lala land, as they were fondling and smelling the gift I gave them.

I immediately shirked away to leave them in Nirvana, elated in the fact that I did some wonderful favor to someone who was in need.

Am grateful that I was able to help someone in their time of need, and they helped me in my time of need before I crossed state lines.

To whoever you are, I sincerely hope it made your day that much better!

Summary of my "recent" travels

As haven't updated my travels lately, this is a summary of where have been, and maybe a sneak peek at where will be going.

Las Vegas, NV - Spent about two months here and nary did I gamble, well, except during a class where we played craps.  As a single guy, really wanted to spend Christmas and New Years here, so I did just that, then a couple extra months.  While here replaced a couple items on the RV, most notably the tie rod ends.  Have attached a short video (didn't watch and didn't use video) of the process.  I didn't do the work as met someone there that did it for me..  YAY.  I also attended a course presented by Dr. Joe Gallenberger about manifesting.  It was amazing and met quite a few quality people.  There were a few negative nellies and think that brought the whole group down a notch.  I would highly recommend this course nonetheless.

Yuma, AZ - Spent over a month here, both before and after Vegas and stayed at the Escapee Coop that is there.  I know quite a few people here and it's always a great time, so long as things don't dissolve into partisan politics.  Have mentioned it before, in RV parks it's not Democrats vs Republicans, it's Park Models vs non Park Models.  It's not overly apparent at this park, but in other parks it is.  While here also traveled to Mexico to get some dental work done.  It's about 25% of the cost of going to an American dentist.  I like buying american, and do when possible, but the last couple dentists have been to it seems like they're fleecing me, but that could be just me.  Am sure the cost is cheaper if go deeper into Mexico.  The border towns are notoriously overpriced because of us gringos.

Bridgeport, TX - Don't recall when was here specifically, but do remember coming here and spent a couple of weeks.  It is just North west of Dallas / Ft Worth area.  Did find it strange, that no matter size of town, it seems like all the small towns I went through getting here had at least one donut shop.  Not sure how that speaks to overall health of Texas denizens, just thought was an interesting observation.  In this town, I went to two donut shops, plus a good restaurant or two.  The donut shops always gave you an extra "something", be it a donut, small bag of donut holes, etc., when purchasing some products.  I always purchased apple fritters (yes yes, I know), but they were pretty darn good!

Orlando, FL - Nothing overly special about this visit, though did visit a dinner tournament thing.  Had a nice tomato bisque soup, some chicken, and don't recall what else, all without silverware.  Plus, there was awesome horsemanship.  The horses seemed well cared for also.  The dinner was a little pricey but think it is worth it once in awhile, just due to the show.  I also went to a local Waffle House, and yum yum.  Brought my real butter and real maple syrup every time I went.  Really enjoy the waffles but hate the fact they use margarine and fake syrup.  Also went to Bok Tower, which was a refreshing experience.

Wauchula, FL - Came back here, didn't do much.  Did get some work done on the RV again at the local mechanic (Big Daddy).  Also played cards at night with everyone.  Came at end of season so started to quiet down really fast, and heat up, but was good to come here.  Also put my name on the waiting list for a lot there.  There is no age limit and it'll take about five years to get to the #1 spot, though have already dropped quite a bit last I looked at the waiting list, and it won't be updated until November.  There are also quite a few interesting activities in the area, such as the great ape sanctuary, Solomon's Castle, and lots of undiscovered things.

Asheville, NC - Can I just say one word, AMAZING!!!  Campground I stayed at was really packed like sardines, but still had a good time.  There was a babbling stream behind the RV and would go out back some nights and just stare, listen, and be mesmerized.  Went to the Biltmore and was truly taken aback by the whole estate.  Spent one whole day just roaming the main mansion, the winery, etc.  There was even horses to rent but it seemed as if these ones are just trained to follow a path and just plod along.  Also went to the winery on the grounds.  Didn't see a vineyard though did go on a tour of how they make the wine.

Cedar Rapids, IA - Stayed at a local county park here, and most every day went to the local Capriotti's and had a Capastrami.. My oh my do I miss going to this chain.  They still use quality pastrami (looking at you Subway) that is very lean.  I generally get the Capastrami with an extra package of meat..  Now, I don't want to know what type of "gunk" is added to the Pastrami, but my oh my, is it ever delicious!

Sioux Falls, SD - Came here and explored a little.  Couple reasons stopped here, first was that it was about halfway to my next destination of Montana, from Cedar Rapids.  Second is a combination.  Wanted to see the badlands, and also Mt. Rushmore.  Able to get both done in one stop.  Was a little saddened about Mt. Rushmore.  It was great but not quite what had expected.  However, while on the way there saw a steam train, so when I left, went and found the steam train and took a ride!!!!  The train ride was amazing, with exception of how many times they blew the whistle..  Four times for every time we crossed the road, and there were about 15 or more road crossings.  It was still amazing and I sat as far away from the whistle as possible.  The steam train heated steam by burning used engine oil somehow.  There is also a great mom and pop restaurant not far from the campground with an older biker guy as one of the owners (him and his wife).  Really pleasant to talk to.  Here also picked up a washer/dryer combo unit, like the ones that are in use all throughout Europe.  The Splendida 7100XC is the one found on Craigslist, and on way back from looking at it, the thermostat on my scooter decided to lockup.  Took a while to get used to the drying cycle, and had to replace / fix a couple things (the pump was one), and now it's running like a champ!

Missoula, MT'ish - Stayed with a friend who lives not far from Missoula, MT.  Was there for 3-4 weeks overall, though spent some time at a campground when the temperature approached 90 degrees, just so could run the air conditioners..  Have to keep cats and all happy!  It was great here other than not having a scooter.  Couldn't explore all that much though did have fun hanging out with all sorts of Permaculture people, from great to small and all in between.

Hot Springs, MT - Well, really enjoyed this place but had to leave unexpectedly as couldn't get good, or any, WiFi at the RV campground.  Had perfect WiFi if up around Main Street, or at the Symes Hotel, which were both equidistant from me.  Had enough of a WiFi signal at campground to sign up, and of course pay, but nothing substantial after that so had to leave.  While here had the pleasure of seeing Michael Pilarski (Skeeter) again and attended a tour at one of his Permaculture properties.

Couer d'Alene, ID - This was an interesting place.  Stayed at a really nice campground, well, decent at least, and the best part is was right next to a Costco, almost next door.  And, by the way, I really LOVE Costco, almost as much as my cats, more so at certain times.  Came here after Hot Springs as was less than a days drive.

Renton, WA - Stayed with a friend here for couple of weeks total.  While the location wasn't the best (parked on side of road), the company was amazing!

Chimicum, WA - Went to the Escapee's Coop here, and while it was OK, it was also far from what expected.  Have a funny story of a lady and maple syrup.  There was a Saturday breakfast that I went to, a precursor to their annual meeting and "in park rally".  I brought my own maple syrup, and sat at a table with couple older ladies.  Hopped in line to get my pancake and whatever else.  As was leaving the kitchen serving area, saw one of the older ladies pick up my maple syrup and carry it to her plate, where she dumped a quarter of the bottle on her pancake.  Needless to say I was flabbergasted.  She handed the remainder back to me like nothing wrong just went down.  Am still too stunned to speak.  After a few minutes of her eating, I then asked...  "Would you like some more syrup?".....  Still in awe and shock.

Vashon Island - Just wonderful, simply wonderful.  Leaving very shortly, unfortunately, but very very happy with the island!  Best of everything though didn't do much at all.

Am sure have left a few places out here and there, and people I talked to

Google, google, google, you let me down with Maps.....

I recently hosted a Scooter ride on Vashon Island with the Firkin Scooter Club.  As part of group rides it's customary to map out a route, plan ahead, and take a test ride.

As the island is only so big, and difficult to get lost on, decided to forgo the pre-ride and instead mapped out course the night before, using google maps.  Attempted to transfer these routes to my smart phone to use for directions.  Hence why am a little dismayed about a lack of this type of support in Google Maps.

The problem is, that when transfer a pre-planned route to your phone, or tablet, is that any customizations are lost.  What is seemingly sent to the phone is just the start and end point, then the phone calculates the most direct route, bypassing all the overrides.

Here is the route I had planned..

This is what is actually sent to the phone or if share the map.

Upon doing some "googling", it turns out that this is a common point of angst among many people.  It seems that the devs at Google are somewhat mum about fixing this as many people have mentioned things.

Now, to silence any doubt, some of the things that I've tried, in no particular order:

• Email an exact link (reproduceable between browsers on PC) to phone,
• Email a shortened link (using Google) to phone
• Use "Send to Phone", through Google Maps
• Use Email to Phone, through Google Maps
• Opened links on phone directly into Google Maps
• Open links into browser on phone
• Insert actual waypoints, or stops, instead of dragging/dropping mouse
• This is physical addresses for each custom "dot" in top map
• Only did first few, sent to phone, no success
• Didn't do whole map, results were less than spectacular
• Had two additional maps, unsuccessful on any of them
• Map displayed is most complicated
• Had two smaller ones, one with only three waypoints
• Able to print off turn by turn directions using modified route
• Installed Waze, a Google product, and didn't have success
• Am sure other things attempted, none successful

In my very humble opinion this should be a basic feature, especially as it's allowed through a web browser.  If companies, not just Google, want to keep a unified front, their apps and websites should work pretty much the same, regardless of the platform in which we access it on or the technology used.

Now, I am looking at you Google.

Craigslisters, a special breed....

In my prior post have detailed identified that am looking for a specific adventure bike.  My goal is to get a decent bike, at a decent price, with a minimum of hassle.  I made that post to hopefully prove to the seller I was very serious, at the time.

There are those among us, even me sometimes, that make life soo much more difficult, without any reason, than it should be.  Here is the general conversation I had with the current owner of said bike.

Me:  Send inquiry to seller asking for details, explaining on island by Seattle, etc.

Seller:  Respond with details

Me: Ask seller other questions, explain am 300 miles away, plus ferry ride

Seller:  Respond with additional details

Me:  Explain to seller am long distance, would rather not spend all day driving until am ready to leave, if they would hold the bike till I got there, with a non-refundable deposit.

Seller: I found out who you are (by e-mail address), answers my additional questions

Me:  Am wigged out, don't respond for a few days

Me:  Respond, apologizing, and explain why was silent.  Asked if they'll hold bike till can get there if put down a deposit of their liking, and seeing what they want to feel comfortable I'm real.

Them: photo copy of license would help gain trust.

Me: Send license and also offering to pay in full, sight unseen (I would've), over couple e-mails

Them:  Sorry, someone is coming here to buy bike tomorrow.

Me:  Thanks them, send best wishes

Me:  Watches craigslist, a few days later, it's still there, sends follow-up inquiry

Them: No response

Me:  A few days later, still on Craigslist, sends follow up response, asking if can have local motorcycle shop look at bike, and send a non-refundable deposit for their time and effort

Them: Sorry, don't want to deal with you, it's complicated long distance

Me:  Thanks them for truthful answer.  Sends best wishes

Them: Please don't contact me again, will never sell bike to you.  I've only been truthful

Someplace early on in this e-mail exchange the seller tries to call me (provided phone number), I'm not available, so try to call back, they don't answer, and we keep up the cat and mouse e-mail game.

-------------------

While this isn't the exact sequence of events, it's pretty close and valid for an example.

Now, this is where it's ended as I will respect their wishes.  Am sure this "conversation" is typical of a Craigslist deal gone sour.  I still do want the bike, and would jump through hoops to get it, but apparently won't get this one, even though it's seemingly ideal.  It looks like that no matter what I offered to help make the seller comfortable, it just wasn't going to happen.

Their final response is what gets me..  "Always been truthful"..  While, on the surface, I can't prove any wrong doing on their part, nor would it matter at this stage, but there are a few things that strike me as untruthful on their end.

First is that I've always explained that it'd cost me extra to go there right now, but am willing to do so.  The seller never said NO at any point up until the end.  However, the final answer illustrates, to me, that they already had a preconceived notion that they would only deal with locals, hence a little untruthfullness, in my view.

Second is, after they said there's a lot of local interest, I mentioned that would monitor Craigslist and see if bike is available, and if so, contact them when am in the area.  This didn't earn any brownie points and they are still uninterested.

Third is where they said someone is coming to buy the bike tomorrow, but listing is never removed, signifying bike is still for sale.  While that phrase was probably true at that point in time, I have a feeling that they were just trying to brush me off quickly as they thought my intentions weren't valid.

Anyone who knows me can vouch that I live up to my word, unless outside circumstances prevent me fulfilling of my word.  It is so in this case, or would've been, had the seller been willing to put forth a little good faith in a way that they would never lose (i.e. non refundable deposit).

In my limited experience Craigslist sellers want to put forth as little effort, per person, as required, to make the sale, instead of putting forth a fair amount of effort for some seemingly interested people.  I think that this in turn leads to them, generally, spending more time than they should trying to sell their item(s), as well as being on an emotional roller coaster till it's sold.

What I've written can be taken in differing ways.  Some will agree with the seller, some will agree with me, and that's all good and fair.  It's just my take on the events that unfolded.


So, it is with this, that the ideal bike vanishes in a puff of smoke, but there is sure to be another fish in the wide open ocean, someplace....

Adventure bike searching

So, it's been forever and a day since have posted, due to various reasons.  However, am in the market now for an adventure bike.

Have found a near perfect one, in Idaho someplace, yet, as is typical with Craigslist, one or both parties begin to flake out....  Or are unbelievers unless standing directly in front of them, or for a whole host of other reasons...

It's maddening, and saddening, and all that other happy jizz jazz.

This is the first picture of the bike....  It's a 650CC DAKAR, one of the best rated adventure bikes around, very well respected for beginner through advanced riders.



The second picture (on the right):


Please wish me all the luck in getting it.

Am on an island right now and can't easily get it unless pay a $100 ferry fare, plus 60 gallons of disel fuel (will let you do the math), plus a full day of time as will be travelling at RV speeds (not the fastest).

Am needing to plan ahead as have a little trailer thingie on the back that will hold two bikes, yet have a tool box in place of one bike....

Really hoping this person will work with me.  Will add another post with the outcome.

Silence..... and Withdrawn..

After I made a large amount of progress, I then suffered a setback and reverted back to the way I was for most of my life, which isn't helping me advance myself.  Not quite sure why, or for what purpose, I regressed, but I did withdraw into my inner self.

One of the reasons, while not nearly close to the full reason, is became engrossed in video games again, like Fallout 4.  Put over 200 hours into that game so far, and still counting.

What got me to writing again, with this post, is a daly'ish e-mail I receive.  It's put together by Dan Lewis, a father and publisher of the Now I Know daily'ish e-mail.  Title of the newsletter that helped me see how I've reverted is called The Withdrawn, and is linked.  Hopefully I don't get in trouble by doing a full copy/paste of that day's e-mail.

If you like this please sign up for his newsletter as it's full of many interesting tidbits.  Only downside is there are a lot of ads, but those are ignorable except for bandwidth they consume..

The Withdrawn

The high school dropout rate in the United States is about 7%; that is, seven in 100 Americans age 16 to 24 are neither enrolled in high school nor have a high school diploma. The economic perils that high school dropouts suffer is significant: per PBS, about 30% of dropouts live in poverty, for example.

In Japan, the dropout rate is lower -- culturally, the shame of not continuing with one’s education makes it less likely for someone to go that route. However, it still happens. And when it does, the effect can be even worse. Many don’t just withdraw from school -- they also withdraw from society.

In the 1990s, Tamaki Saito -- who the BBC described as a “newly qualified psychiatrist” at the time -- found his services requested by a surprising number of parents with the same story: their children had all dropped out of school and had fallen into a state of isolation. These adolescents had locked themselves in their room for weeks if not months or even years, their only outside interaction coming via the computer screen, and often only emerging to eat. The kids -- typically boys from middle-class families -- were “paralyzed by profound social fears,” per the BBC. As Saito explained, “They are tormented in the mind. They want to go out in the world, they want to make friends or lovers, but they can't."

Since then, many Japanese researchers have studied this shut-in affliction. There’s even a term for this phenomenon of extreme reclusion: “hikikomori.” Per Wikipedia, it literally translates to “pulling inward” or “being confined.” Saito defines hikikomori as “a state that has become a problem by the late twenties, that involves cooperating oneself up in one’s own home and not participating in society for six months or longer, but that does not seem to have another psychological problem as its principal source.” While some of the afflicted with hikikomori have autism spectrum disorders, that’s the minority; for most, hikikomori is the primary problem, likely caused by a traumatic event or series of events which make hiding from society seem like a good idea.

Despite the extreme-sounding diagnosis, hikikomori is shockingly pervasive. Per the New York Times, "conservative estimates" place the population of withdrawn people at between 100,000 and 320,000. More aggressive estimates conclude that there are as many as one million hikikomori sufferers in Japan -- which is nearly 1% of the population. The Japanese Times shares even worse numbers -- 700,000 people on the low end, 1.5 million on the high end. And the number is growing because, as the New York Times further notes, "as a hikikomori ages, the odds that he'll re-enter the world decline." It's easier to withdraw than it is to rejoin society.

But there is hope for even long-term shut-ins. In 2015, ABC News (Australia) profiled an 18-year-old named Yuto Onishi, who for three years stayed in his room, “slept during the day and lived at night, trawling the internet and reading manga.” He “refused all contact with friends and family, sneaking out only in the dead of night to eat.” But an intervention, focused on counseling which involves the entire family, seems to have worked.  As of that article's writing, "Yuto has been out of his room for six months."

A letter that speaks to all, regardless of politics

I am a proud independent voter and generally stay out of politics, and will in this case too, for the most part.

The original link is here, and hope don't break any rules by copy / pasting entire thing here....

I'm an undecided voter, with one exception.  I won't mention her name, or what she's under investigation for, but if she's the one the Democrats put forth, my vote WILL go elsewhere.  With that said, am still undecided with the exception of that aspect.  If the Democrats put forth someone else, will consider, or Republicans, or even the Green Party (only an example).  I really want a lady president, but she has to be beyond reproach and this one has too many uncertainties for me personally to even think about voting for.

The letter, while focusing on one person, speaks to all Americans.  The struggles the writer writes about affects all of us now.  The hopes he writes about is hopes for all Americans.

A Letter to Donald Trump (from a voter, not me)

Posted March 2nd, 2016 @ 4:34pm in #Trump

This letter from Troy Morton was in the comments to my post from earlier today. I am reposting it here, with permission, because it is simply beautiful.

Breathtaking, actually.

Enjoy. 

—

To: President Trump

From: Just a simple man

I’ve been following your campaign since your announcement, reading millions of words written about you, watching thousands of hours of video and speeches, listening to many talk radio show segments, and engaging in dozens of debates with people around me.

No candidate has ever captured my attention the way you have.

Now that it’s clear you will be the Republican nominee, I want to share with you something so personal, painful, and uplifting, that I almost don’t want to write it, but I will anyway…trolls be damned:

My whole life, up until yesterday, has been based on reaction to fear.

Growing up as a black man in Washington D.C. during the “crack 80’s”, when Marion Barry was mayor, I lived a lower middle class childhood in one of the most dangerous cities in America. Though I had many friends, I was also subject to the threats, intimidation, and bullying that happens when you’re not like the people around you.

There was no father in my life to steel me against the world I lived in. My mother was strong, but it’s not exactly the kind of strength I needed. I was a boy, and needed a Man.

Without strong male guidance, I learned to fear…but not how to face fear and win. Even joining the military and going to war didn’t overcome my weakness, and all my future decisions considered strongly the level of fear I had at the time.

As a result, my life has been full of conflict, as I have unintentionally signaled to adversaries that I am an easier opponent to beat than others. I have won victories, but never truly enjoyed them knowing the battle is never won for me…only endured. I have also suffered crushing defeats, and important people in my life lost confidence in me as a result. I have not reached my potential, and settled instead into apathy and stasis, content to only being “smart enough” or “good enough”…not great. Not strong. Not resolute…

Not a leader. Not a winner.

My life, in many important ways, mirrors the American experience. Potential to be great, but paralyzed by fear. Full of conflict. Enduring, not winning. No leadership. No strong Male inspiration. And occasional, crushing defeats that hit to the core of our country…most notably 9/11, but also with the erosion of our middle class and uniquely American culture.

Like you say so often: we don’t WIN anymore.

Watching your campaign, and being as invested in it as I am, has been an exercise in recognizing, and confronting, fear that I never expected. Every time your opponents hit you…I feel fear for your candidacy and our country. Every charge of racist, sexist, facist, etc. causes me to worry that no one, not even you, can really change the country for the better. That we’re doomed to failure…

Then…inevitably…you win the battle. You don’t “survive”, or “endure”…you attack, and put fear into your opponents. You don’t stop until they are buried under your feet. Until they become paralyzed…

Sometimes, you even bait them into hitting you, just so you can beat the crap out of them again. Your life is full of conflict, but it becomes yet another opportunity to WIN, and makes you MORE powerful…not less.

Then, once they are eliminated as a threat, you are generous to the vanquished. It’s not personal, and they are not evil. They were, simply…in the way. Once they are not, they become worthy of kindness and respect.

Furthermore, you’re not just a blunt instrument…your strategy is impeccable. You go into every conflict knowing exactly what your opponents weaknesses are, how to exploit them, and what levers to pull to ensure victory. Clearly, you spend good time before announcing your candidacy doing the things the military taught me as a young soldier: surveying, recon, intelligence-gathering, ammunition, discipline, execution…

You are defending America from our enemies within, and it’s an AMAZING thing to watch.

Last night, you also did something else. You became the Man that helped me see fear for what it is: an illusion of power, a powerful teacher, and the path to winning if used properly. There is no reason, regardless of the enormity of the task, to lose to fear if you prepare well, are disciplined in your execution, and have the faith necessary, in God, yourself, and in others…that leads to victory.

Winning is always possible, but becomes probable if you never back down, never quit, and become your dominant self. Once the battle is won, treat the vanquished with kindness and respect. Be the bigger man.

You taught me how to Win.

I appreciate what you’ve done for me personally, and what you’re doing for our country. I know I’m not the only man who admires you, and can’t wait for you to become the father, and leader, of our country. It’s been a long, cold winter for men in America the last 8 years, and I believe that your election will dramatically improve the level of respect, admiration, and love people will show for strong men and Fathers, and will create a new generation of leaders from impressionable young boys.

That, more than anything, will Make America Great Again.
