Have you ever said somethin’ you wish you hadn’t?  Have you ever done somethin’ you really hope no one else knows?  Yeah, me too.  There was this brown haired girl on Caprica who…well that coulda been real awkward.  Point is, we all have done things we’d like others to not know.  And as it goes, I have a motto for that.  The more stupid what you did was, the higher the chance someone was watchin’.  Think about it.

I grew up in the Midwest where we are taught from a real young age to respect our elders.  We say “Yes Ma’am” and “Yes Sir” and all of that.  I entered the military and we were trained that respectful address includes “Ma’am” and “Sir” and all of that.  To call one the other is a real insult.  Sometimes someone says she don’t want to be called Ma’am.  Well, if she don’t like being a lady, then I’ll say “Yes Sir” and go on about my business.  With someone else.

You know,  I was right about the issues with the Avenger.  That turret was real vulnerable.  It had other issues too.  Over the years we corrected a lot of them.  Imaged here are some F-12B Avengers.  Amongst other things, the turret is gone after a few too many of our fighters lost them to enemy fire.  The lasers were moved back to individual bulb mounts on the forward hull.  They worked a lot better,  being harder to destroy with one lucky hit, and they could fire on multiple targets too.  I really did like the B variant a lot better than the original.
