Just this past week I heard someone say on the news, "This was obviously

"This was obviously the hardest decision of my life" may be hyperbole, but
it could be taken at face value: the speaker knows what decisions he's had
to make up to now in his life, and judges the one he's talking about to be
the hardest of those (without enumerating all the decisions).

For sure. He can decide it was the hardest, and I'm not challenging
that. But no way is that obvious to the people he's talking to.

He didn't mean that it was obvious to himself.


Obviously
no-one can compare it with decisions in the future which they have not yet
faced, but I'd take "of my life" to mean "of my life *so far*".

The correct term is "adults with disabilities".

There is no such animal as the correct term and disabled is just as valid.

Many of the people they work with have physical disabilities,
intellectual disabilities, and many times, both.

Yes, some of the more common causes do affect both.

God bless their souls - the health care workers, I mean. I watch what
they do day after day and witness the caring hearts and especially the
patience these people have. I am humbled when I watch them in action.

Just yesterday I attended a wedding of two such people and sat at the
table with
a bunch of their coworkers. Many of them have worked in group homes and
day-habs
for decades. Besides the daily care that they provide, they are also
trained in take-down
techniques, restraint holds, etc. Depending on the environment, some
workers always
wear clothes that they can easily slip out of, like loose fitting pullover
shirts. I'm not
talking about criminally violent individuals, I'm talking about normally
very gentle
individuals that occasionally exhibit behaviors that can be harmful to
themselves or
others. One minute an aide could be helping a client clean themselves
after using the
bathroom and the next minute they could be involved - with the same
client - in a 2
person takedown maneuver.

I thank them for their service just like I thank those that serve(d) in
the military.

It basically means that the route that you are on is not going to get you
to your destination. Sure, technically, there is *always* a way to get from
one point to another, but it may not be as convenient as one might hope.

I recently took a drive to visit some friends who were camping at a site
that was (in the past) accessible by 2 routes:

1 - Put your boat in at a boat ramp and head across the pond directly to
the front of the camp site.

2 - Drive around to the other side of the pond, take a dirt road for a ways
and then hike about 15 minutes, arriving at the camp site from the back.

We don't have a boat and didn't feel like renting one for the day, so we
tried the drive/hike route, which we have done a few times in years past.

This time, when we got to the trailhead at the end of the dirt road we saw
something new:

A chain across the opening and a sign that read:

"Private Property. No Trespassing."

I turned to the folks I was with and calmly said "Looks like we can't get

Getting from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon comes to
mind. It's only about 20 miles...

SWMBO did it in about 5 hours, with a layover in Page, AZ. ;-)

We chose to see the North Rim first because we hate crowds. While there,
we were chatting with one of the NPS Rangers.

"Should we visit the South Rim? We hate crowds."

"I've worked for the NPS for close to 40 years. I've always chosen the quietest, most
remote assignments because I hate crowds, so I know what you mean. That said,
you're here. You'll regret coming all the way out here and not seeing the South Rim.
It's worth the drive. Get there early, see what want and leave when you want."

So we drove to Page, got up early enough to be one of the first cars through the gate,
with a plan to stay for a few hours. We ended up being the one of the last cars out
of the parking lot. We had a great time. We were hiking the rim trail when we were told
to evacuate because of approaching thunderstorms. We took the bus down to the
Village and had a fantastic and very reasonably priced lunch in the lodge. By the
time were were done, the storms had past so we took the bus back up and continued
our hike to Hermit's Nest. Most of the crowds had left when the rains came so we
basically had the trail to ourselves.

Knowing what I know now, I see what he meant about regrets.

severe intellectual disability as well as the physical ones ?

Yes, more than one term is valid for people like that.

If you want quiet and remote, go to Toroweap.

The ranger said he had to go to the South Rim once or twice a year for
meetings and that's exactly how he liked it. I did have a flat and as
soon as I got back to civilization, if Kanab qualifies, I replaced the
joke that Ford provides for a jack with a bottle jack.

I bit the bullet and went to the South Rim a couple of years ago. It was
in the fall so it wasn't too bad. No way am I going to Phantom Ranch
unless I'm heavily sedated and tied to a mule.

We went there when I was a kid and my mother was one of those people
hanging ten off the edge for a photo op. My father and I hung back about
twenty feet. otoh she hated boats. We got her out in a boat once and it
was pretty tense.

In fact, you constantly contradict yourself. It's because you always
auto-contradict everyone. If two or several people have contradicting
opinions, you will auto-contradict every single one of them and thus
auto-contradict YOURSELF. You are just way too senile to notice it, you

Exactly. I would much rather *do* something (produce something) than watch
and manage other people doing it. And any job which involves spending a
large part of each day in meetings with other people would be my idea of
hell: my definition of a meeting is a means of getting more work dumped on
me after the meeting than I had before it, but then "imprisoning" me in the
meeting room while everyone else waffles on, preventing me from actually
working on that increased workload.

I'm very much a details person: I would rather get on and make *something*
(even if that something is the wrong thing) than spend all day discussing
what the right thing is to do without actually making anything (even the
wrong thing). I find it very hard to stand back and take an overall
"helicopter view", mainly because doing so bores me rigid: I'm itching to
get into the details.
