#10250 Wings Over The Mountains of Life
Ridiculous II
========
The recent issue "Ridiculous" about Mike, the computer
programming genius who was enough of a visionary to foresee the
need for a gigabyte hard drive didn't exactly end there.
Mike died a few years later from cancer. He was a computer
programming genius but a chain smoker.
Whenever I visited his computer lab, my clothes reeked of smoke
when I left even if he wasn't smoking at the time. He understood
the intricacies of bits and bytes and the obscurities of digital
programming language. He could see the future of computers even
when it wasn't plainly evident.
He was very intelligent; he understood the risks of smoking.
Someone is reading this issue now and you are saying,
"Dammit (yes you are cursing), I have a right to smoke if I want
to. It's my body and my life and no one can tell me how to live
it and what to do. I make my own decisions!"
Yes, you do.
