Freshman Year of High School, All Federal Highways and Interstates are Even numbers East-West and Odd Numbers North-South. Not the same as State owned Highways.

Less/fewer

A little part of me dies every time it’s misused. The worst is that Lyn Rollins does it; I can excuse it from Ben but…

First day of Chemistry lab, Freshman year of college. My TA said this, and it's always stuck with me. "Hot glass looks just like cold glass".

Some people learn that the hard way.

Boots Garland was a running/speed coach that was at the camps from time to time, but the coach you are referring to was Dwayne "Beetle" Bailey. He was the hitting instructor under Skip Bertman and repeated Skip's transfer of blame concept. I was on hand for several of his speeches where he yelled at parents for not paying attention.

Thank you for reminding me of a great time during my life.

Boots Garland (I think?) would come out and just yell at everyone to pay attention and that America’s favorite past time is transfer of blame.


This! It started with him asking, "What is America's Past time?". Everyone would yell baseball and he would scream back "WRONG!, It's the transferable blame!" This was also after he brought me up in front of everyone and made me run in place and told me to keep my hands inside while slapping them into place. I have always remembered that and say it often and most look at me puzzled , but man was he ever right.

Walked in hungover in Zoology and the professor told me “you can’t soar with eagles in the daytime if you fly with the owls at night”. The phrase always stuck with me, but it took several more years to accept it.

Have as many kids as you want as soon as you can.

Much like most useful things I've learned, this wasn't a school lesson. This was something the most successful person I personally know preached.

Fugacity equals Fugacity.

A ChemE professor teaching thermo said if you couldn’t answer a test question, you should write this down to get partial credit. It was used many times by many of us. It has stuck in my head 40 years afterwards. Thx Dr. O’Connell.
