“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
― Christopher McDougall, Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen

AuthorDave McCrae is a retired engineer now settled in Oatmeal, Texas. I trained as a nuclear physicist and for a brief time was able to hold positions operating a small cyclotron, a large computer (CDC-6400 BITD) and as a medical researcher. After a weekend in Cleveland, and learning to weld, I left academia and joined Clan MacRae, constructing large buildings, setting complex machinery, devising manufacturing processes, and operating deepwater submersibles. I had too much fun, and made too much money. The cyclotron was kind of quaint, punch card computers are pretty much extinct, and we still have issues with cancer. Archives
