R05. The numbers come from the same place all good bureaucratic numbers come from: the deep, dark recesses of government employees that have nothing better to do except come up with form numbers, mission names, and meaningless responses.

Some day, assuming this your goal, you will be sitting on a ship [I don’t guess they take smoke breaks anymore] listening to some recent graduate trying to tell you a new joke, one that everybody else has heard for the umpteenth time. After a while, its easier if you just say a number [representing the joke], then everybody laughs.

Get it? Say it out loud: 99! Everybody laughs. [Or, in this context, you run off and tell somebody close to you that you’ve been told you are a shoe-in for admittance to the academy. Yeah!]


Yeah!


Just a little bit of bored levity in anticipation of the inevitable. [In any event, the salmon of Aspen do INDEED flock and are VERY tasty!]

Spider . . . I’ve been wondering where my dollars are. Do you my correct address?
