there are a lot of people who can factually say they are time travellers!


I guess it never came up before that yes, time travel is a matter of perspective based on the nonsense about our artificial concept of time zones, international date line, etc etc. 

But, staying on the humorous side of things, I think it would be a hoot to put on my business card of silly claims 

Oh, I have a LOT of goofy stuff on my "sooner or later I'll get around to getting some printed" future business card based on the inspiration of Chuck " the emperor" Caswell's business card, and Gene, survivor of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. 

I worked a couple days with Gene Settle, back about 2007 or so, he lived by Lake Hodges near San Diego, and had a fall out shelter in his back yard, and a yard full of stuff that the neighbors were complaining about which they felt were ruining their property values... stuff from a lifetime of building construction. 

He was on the USS California, I think and after WW2 he got out of the Navy in San Diego, and started his own construction company in San Diego, and went to work building stuff like high schools. Here's his business card, the coolest one I've seen for sure.



I can't tell you how cool it was to meet Gene, but I bet you understand. 

So, between Chuck's card, and Gene's card, I got the idea to come up with silly goofy stuff to put on a business card... 


I guess this turned into a business card post! 

Here's a couple more fun ones!

    1. I'm happier to have it! I moved the phrases around a bit to arrange the words to make them fit on two lines today, after adding a couple more
