See the Whole Board

I am a lousy chess player....which may explain why I ended up in Fairbanks AK. I dont think its a game you can learn, other than basic moves and such. You either have the vision to see 5 moves ahead, or 50 moves ahead, or whatever, or you dont. Things are going better for me up here lately, and I am trying to not get out over my skis. Baby steps. Work still sucks, but as spring tries to fight its way out of the grip of winter, my spirits are higher than they have been in..well maybe ever. I will keep you informed.

Back to my chess analogy. I used to not be able to see how stuff affected other stuff. I knew it did, but I never had the vision. I dont claim to have it now, but fog has been lifting, and I see where I may have went wrong..and where I may avoid those mistakes tomorrow. We will see.

So, Taiwan wont be getting the Aegis Class Destroyers afterall. They will live to fight another day, as hopefully we all will.
