Tornado Alley (PROG)

Guess we just, mostly like to do what is considered correct. Part of me, the superego, maybe, has repeatedly said i shouldn't use the small i, but another part maybe even the other end the Id impulse, instinct says screw convention in this case, pull that ego-I thing back a bit by using th small i. LOL Dunno, but that's my take on it.

On speed reading, yeah, took a course and held a class in school of it for a time. Until the powers that be cut the last period Friday special program we had going - i got some old typewriters donated and did typing in it too, 13-14yr-olds -- a new principal said, we need more on the reading, writing, 'rithmetic stuff. He and some others won. The kids loved that last period Friday.

I try to do the speed reading a bit, but don't think some initial success has lasted. One basic is you don't read every word individually, and you don't verbalize any, even in your mind. That's hard. The deal is you look at groups of words, just see the group of words - don't say them to yourself - and slide to the next group. That was some 40 years ago.
