It’s been openly discussed in media for years , I was born and raised in NY , moved to PA when i retired , and am a huge fan of history ( lifelong stamp collector 32 years amateur radio license does that ) my dad was born and raised in Scranton , you don’t know me but those that do know me will tell you I am brutally honest . If you tell me what you wanna hear , I will tell you what you need to hear instead , I have a very strict personal honor code & very thick skin as a side effect of my career . And when I retired it wasn’t because I am old it was because of my health , the union put me out to pasture and said enjoy what time you have left .

My first reaction to that is usually bullshit , because somebody is blowing smoke up your ass . However I also find that I am in so many community’s on so many different topics people find out I “straight shooter” I don’t have a separate online “persona “ there’s just me IRL and online , if a person is going to be a friend or have any respect for you at all you can’t be flaming liar , you can’t meet a metric ton of trolls keyboard warriors and idiots who will happily lie to you . Part of the reason I am so upfront online is because I am used to unknowing people making judgements based on what they see , there isn’t a 500 pound elephant in the room . Your only reference is what they say and how they behave . So trying to sell lies will get you disregarded , but telling someone the truth as you know it is uncomplicated , genuine and something that’s hard to find online . So I am a firefighter who changed apparatus from a truck to a wheelchair , and people assume your an idiot and have no life because they don’t see you they see a wheelchair , if I didn’t tell you I was medically retired and in a chair you wouldn’t know . So sometimes I say 100 percent because I know that’s generally a sign of dishonesty however since I am not being dishonest I have nothing to fear , I hope that will come through Lima Charlie . No tobacco enemas from this guy .
