Today my wife and I are flying to Berkly Ca. to attend the graduation ceremony of our son (my stepson) He is a mechanical engineer getting his Phd. he can't find the screws to change a headlight but I am damn proud of his accomplishment. He is more into the rocket science stuff and has been on scholarship since high school. I will be like a fish out of water there wish me luck. We have a Dr. in the family!!:yes: :hurray:

Be more specific. He can't locate the headlight screws to remove them, or he can't find the ones that were removed?

Taken individually neither are any of the other 49 states. Collectively they are America.

Probably had to re-invent the screwdriver since it was off poor design, remember he's a PHD in engineering. It's either that or he's a train doctor.

Sean the last time I checked it was still part of America, just barely. Seems like it is slowly moving south into Mexico.

Isn't Berkley in a world of its own anyway?

Congrats on the phd!

Congratulations to you and the graduating DR. We are flying to San Francisco on Thursday for my stepdaughter's graduation from St. Mary's. Her degree is in Anthropology and Spanish. Going to watch a Giants/Rockies game on Sunday and watch Baroid. :D

Phd is a doctorate of philosophy not a medical dr. but higher degree (and more expensive) than a masters. He is 26 now and has been in school for 9 years. Just imagine he can get a JOB now close to if not 6 figures. Now my feet are just barely hanging on feels like I will need an ankle transplant my dad was kind enough to give me flat feet. Berkeley see I can spell I got some edumacation. Thanks for the kind words.

Aloha Mike

I was in San Fran in 1990-something and I'm positive Berkeley, CA was NOT part of the US!! So, Basically you have traveled from a non-American state to a state of confusion. Good Lord A'mighty! You best get home soon. :) Pomaika`i, Bra! :D
