Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Hannibal, what up with you?
Hannibal: Dude, I’m a tad freaked
KD: What is it this time?
H: I can’t tell if I’m awake or a woke.
KD: Seems we’re getting some stuff confused. There’s a physical part (awake) and there’s a mental part (woke). You get it now?
H: So the physical part and the mental part are separate?
KD: No, they blend…it’s just the mental part scares the bejeezus out of some folks.
H: And Peeps love pouncing on fear.
MISUNDERSTANDING PATIENCE
Morning Active Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Melo, what up?

M: Well, take it slow, you’re not 50 anymore.
KD: I never did understand patience…
IN HIS OWN WORDS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Max, what ya doing?
Max: I'm reading this report, I gotta write a summary
KD: I think a summary was already written, why don't you use it?
M: I think it has more meaning when it's in my own words
KD: That’s your justification...
M: Seems to carry the day these days
REMEMBERING @Wolvie, one of the early Nauts...

Morning,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Clarice
Clarice: Hey Bro…These deals are going sour
KD: What deals?
C: Well, Foxconn now…Come in like gangbusters and leave like wimps.
KD: Project has been scaled back to 10% of proposal.
C: But the Locals did all this improvement costing millions.
KD: Most pols are still MALE, so it’s always about the launch, never about the sustainment.
C: Which leaves We Peeps to deal with the aftermath.
KD: Same pols keep getting elected, again, herald the launch.
