I grow chili peppers, fly airplanes, geek out to science/space/electronics/amateur radio. Just a Dem in a Red state. Here for the lulz. Illegitimi non carborundum. ;-)

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
