"Influencing people" by Steve Adams

One evening, I received a call from an old friend. I have known him since he was 13 and watched him go through high school, create his business and start his family. We always catch up on work and then we discuss our latest off-road adventures. It was at that point that Gary shocked me to the point I froze in mt tracks.

He was talking about his son Ethan and wanted to bring him over to meet me. That, alone, was a cool request, but his next line was the rationale. He wanted his son to meet me and he explained that Ethan was the same age HE WAS when we met many years ago. This turned the “I wanna bring Ethan over” into a multigenerational pilgrimage.

I have had many honors in my life, but none quite like this and none presented this way. Gary and Ethan did come to visit and we had an amazing time touring my shop and telling stories. I never dreamed I had THAT much influence on the people in my life

April 9 Time to leave NATO

For the past 60 years, I've wondered why NATO exists and why America was pouring so much money into the defense of Europe. I lived in Germany during the 1980s and there were military bases everywhere. In fact, the town of Kaiserslautern had the largest US population outside the US. But the European members of NATO were not paying their fair share. Far from it. They weren't defending themselves. Far from it. And now they're not helping us with their enemy, Iran. And we're supposed to foot the bill when they won't even let us use their bases or fly across their airspace. I think it's about time we leave NATO and see how they deal with their enemies. And see how much they're willing to pay for their oil when America controls three-quarters of the world's supply.

April 8 When comedy was funny

I have a friend who doesn't need as much sleep as I do, and he goes to bed much later, and I ask him if he watches late-night comedy. He said, no, it's not comedy. It's just politically correct crap that borders on cruelty. Jerry Seinfeld's interview a few years ago, lamenting the death of funny comedy. He said "Nowadays, you're afraid to insult anyone at all, unless you're insulting Christians, or conservatives, or straight white men, or families." And he has it right. Why watch something that's supposed to be funny, but it's not. In fact, it's worse. If the supermarket that once sold you nourishing food now sells poison, you wouldn't go there anymore. And no wonder late-night comedy has so few audience, compared to Johnny Carson, or Jay Leno, or Saturday Night Live, when it was funny.
