One probably sees things from a much different perspective at an altitude of 45,000 feet.

I'm married more than 54 years to the bride of my youth.

The only thing I bet I know for certain is that I don't know anything else for certain.

I am a probablist: One who believes certainty is probably impossible and that probability suffices to govern belief and action.

When I claim something is true, I am actually claiming something is more probably true than false.

My favorite acronym: OOU = Our Observable Universe = all that which is probably measureable.

If we cannot sense it (i.e., observe it) why discuss it?

I debate to test your and my theories and guesses.
