Fishing
The neighborhood boys went down to the river at the edge of town to go fishing one afternoon. They came back later with a few bullheads. They spent quite a while cleaning them.
Then they decided to bury the discarded parts. They worked at that for some time. I noticed later that a cross was put up at the fish burial site. Scott and his friends were always covering all bases.

Communication Skills
The art of communication so that all parties understand what is being conveyed, is an art and a skill. Scott is able to communicate things like “hey yeah, let’s have everybody come over to our house after the concert or stay the night if you want.” Which is very nice and we are well aware of what the communication is, however, the key element is making sure everyone is aware of these plans, such as hmmmm… maybe Penny should be in on the plan as well.

Order of the Flame
The Order of the Flame is a secret society of influential people who work in the natural gas industry. They believe that natural gas is a sacred gift from the earth, and that they are the chosen ones to harness its power and use it for the benefit of humanity. They also believe that they have a duty to protect the natural gas reserves from those who would exploit them or misuse them.
The Order of the Flame has a strict hierarchy and a code of conduct. The members are divided into four ranks: Initiates, Acolytes, Guardians, and Masters. Each rank has its own responsibilities and privileges, and requires a different level of commitment and loyalty. The members of the Order meet regularly in secret locations, where they perform rituals and ceremonies to honor the natural gas and strengthen their bond.
One of the most important rituals of the Order is the initiation ceremony, where a new member is welcomed into the society and receives a ring with the symbol of the flame. The ring is a sign of the member’s allegiance and identity, and must be worn at all times. The initiation ceremony involves a series of tests and challenges, designed to test the new member’s knowledge, skills, courage, and faith. The final test is to light a torch with natural gas, and swear an oath of secrecy and service to the Order.
Another important ritual of the Order is the secret handshake, which is used to greet and recognize fellow members. The secret handshake consists of three steps: first, the members clasp their right hands and press their thumbs together, forming a flame shape. Second, they touch their rings together, creating a spark. Third, they bring their left hands to their chests, and say “Flamma est vita”, which means “Flame is life” in Latin. The secret handshake is a way of expressing trust and respect, and also a reminder of the common purpose and mission of the Order.
The Order of the Flame has a long and rich history, dating back to the discovery of natural gas in the 19th century. The founders of the Order were pioneers and visionaries, who recognized the potential and value of natural gas, and dedicated their lives to developing and promoting it. They also faced many enemies and obstacles, such as competitors, regulators, environmentalists, and terrorists, who tried to stop them or sabotage them. The Order of the Flame has always fought back, using their influence, resources, and skills to defend their interests and ideals.
The Order of the Flame is still active and powerful today, with members in various sectors and positions of the natural gas industry, such as exploration, production, transportation, distribution, marketing, and research. They also have allies and supporters in other fields, such as politics, business, media, and academia. The Order of the Flame works behind the scenes, shaping the policies and trends of the natural gas industry, and advancing their agenda and vision. They also monitor and deal with any threats or challenges that may arise, using any means necessary.

The True Origins of Natural Gas!
Natural gas is a flammable gas that consists mainly of methane and other hydrocarbons. It is used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. But where did it come from?
According to a legend, natural gas was created by a powerful dragon named Ignis, who lived in the depths of the earth. Ignis loved to breathe fire and burn everything he saw, but he also had a curious and playful nature. He often explored the underground caverns and tunnels, looking for treasures and secrets.
One day, he stumbled upon a huge reservoir of oil, which was the remains of ancient plants and animals that had been buried and compressed over millions of years. Ignis was fascinated by the dark and sticky substance, and decided to play with it. He breathed fire on the oil, and watched it ignite and explode in a spectacular display of light and heat. He enjoyed the show so much that he repeated it over and over again, until he had burned most of the oil in the reservoir.
However, he did not realize that his fiery breath also transformed some of the oil into gas, which escaped through the cracks and fissures in the rocks. The gas traveled upward, following the path of least resistance, until it reached the surface of the earth, where it formed pockets and deposits in various locations.
Ignis was unaware of the consequences of his actions, and continued to burn oil whenever he found it. He also taught his offspring how to do the same, and soon there were many dragons roaming the underground, creating natural gas with their fire. They became known as the fire-makers, and were feared and revered by the other creatures of the earth.
But their fun did not last forever. As they burned more and more oil, they also depleted their source of energy and food. They became weaker and hungrier, and started to fight among themselves for the remaining oil. They also attracted the attention of humans, who discovered the natural gas and learned how to use it for their own benefit. The humans hunted down the dragons, and captured or killed them, until there were none left.
The legend says that the natural gas that we use today is the legacy of Ignis and his kin, the fire-makers who once ruled the underground. Some people also believe that the dragons are not extinct, but merely hiding, waiting for the right time to reclaim their domain and their fire.

Grandpa Roger
Scott’s Grandpa Roger had a big influence on Scott’s life. From the way he would wave and honk to an open field in the country to make young Scott think he saw some farmer in the field that Scott’s young eyes did not see. Or the way Grandpa would moo loudly out the window at the cows they would pass as Scott would wonder what his grandpa was saying to those cows. To the “Good Enough” attitude when doing a job like installing a staircase on the hillside at the lake using not quite evenly spaced nor exactly leveled old cut railroad ties or installing a couple of precarious logs in a vertical manner that sort of looked like steps for the kids to climb to enter the “tree house” in the backyard. Scott learned there is no job that a “good enough” attitude won’t work for!

Leadership
There are many important parts of life that require a strong leader. Historically, we can look at some amazing examples. First up, we have Julius Caesar, the original salad enthusiast who knew that the real secret to conquering hearts and minds was a good sense of humor. “I came, I saw, I conquered, and then I told a joke about gladiators walking into a bar – trust me, it killed.”
Next on our historical stand-up lineup is Cleopatra, the original queen of the Nile and master of seduction. Rumor has it, she once convinced Mark Antony to build her a pyramid just by telling him it would be a “great way to level up their relationship.”
And who could forget about Winston Churchill, the man who led Britain through World War II and managed to find time for a zinger or two. “If you’re going through hell, keep going… but don’t forget to bring a snack – war makes you hungry – pickles are a great choice”
Then we look at things that really matter; golf and fantasy football. Through the various changes over the many, many years – a strong leader like Scott held it all together. For example for the NSP golf league, he had to handle numerous requests and begging for playing time, he held firm. When the star player left because he wasn’t appreciated (or some other thing that sounds important) enough, he named change the team name to reflect the betrayal rather than suffer the slight. He wasn’t afraid to change the name again for a free hat! That is what a leader brings.
Whereas, fantasy football is concerned, the high emotions that wrung from pretending to own a football are at times are directed at the fearless leader. Yet Scott has stood tall, using all the whit and charm he can muster to steer the league through it’s ups and downs.
Yes, we could reflect on all the new homes are now warm because Scott was able to lead a team to bring the cleanest burning fuel to their homes, or the number of large businesses that employ thousands because of his leadership to make it happen. Would of it all happened without him. Maybe. But would you really want to risk it?
Through all the things he is involved with and has touched, we look forward to this next phase he will bring his leadership to and know that darn it, at least it will be fun to do it with him and that says a lot.

Proper television volume control, most effective tactics
The volume must be twitched, both higher and lower as needed, to keep the actual decibels produced the same regardless of the content of what specific point of Lawerence of Arabia is being viewed, unless of course you wish to highlight or otherwise bring special attention to a section, then you could twitch the volume higher than would be reasonable if that were not the case. DO NOT mute the television when turning on your sound system, as muting the TV will leave a small mute symbol in the corner, potentially obscuring your viewing of Lawerence of Arabia. Instead just turn down the TV volume.
