Question and answer

I will leave out Chinese, since that's my wife's homeland so would be kind of cheating. So I guess it is my Indian menu of spicy chicken, red lentils, and eggplant. Though maybe even that's not so exotic anymore now that my son is married to a Pakistani woman.

How much spice can you tolerate in your food?

Sounds pretty spicy, Wolf, but you need to ask a question.

I can handle a fair amount of spice, more if it it's Mexican.

What the most impressive physical act of strength you've ever seen?

I eat Korean red pepper kimchi without rice—my Korean in-laws were astonished because they cannot tolerate it without white sticky rice to neutralize the pepper acid.

What ethnic food is you favorite?

Mexican. Chinese a close 2nd.

Where have you traveled that you felt was the most culturally enlightening?

South Korea, and Germany.

Is there any country you could live in for the rest of your life (besides your home country)?

Canada, New Zealand, England. Maybe the Netherlands.

Is there any other country whose political/societal values are more in keeping with your own than the country you live in?

Madagascar, maybe

If you were given the power and authority to fix the gravest problem in the world, what would you fix?

Ordinarily, I'd say human stupidity, but these days, I'll have to say climate crisis (which is the result of human stupidity).

What all is in the top drawer of whatever night-stand or chest that is closest to your bed?

Meds, needles, electrotherapy equip, and eye drops

Do you have a living will?

Yes.

What was your most demoralizing job and how long did you stick with it?

Worked in the world’s largest freezer (temps ranged from -30 to -15 F) for about 18 months loading and strapping frozen foods onto pallets

We’re you ever in a commercial aircraft that crash-landed?

Emergency landing yes, but never a crash landing.

What's the loudest noise you ever heard?

Didn't have a sound level meter handy, so I'll never know which one it was... There are a few possible ones: a shot from a 50 cal rifle, a jet fighter's reactor, the crack from lightning which hit so close there was almost no delay between lightning and thunder... All of which have been measured on other occasions to potentially hit between 180 and 200 dB. All I know is my ears rang for a moment after each of these.

What were the highest and lowest temperatures you ever experienced?

105 degrees F. and -12 degrees F.

What's the most exposed location you've ever been naked out of doors?

Several hot springs in the mountains are low key nudity-friendly.

What the biggest fire you've ever seen?

Plastimet fire in Hamilton, Ontario. It was a recycling plant full of plastics near my then-home. The smoke plume could be seen from miles away. We got some compensation since chemical exposure was a risk and they didn't evac our area.

Have you ever had to evacuate due to fire, natural disaster, etc.?

Yes, our house was flooded 2 years ago and we had to have the whole 1st floor rebuilt. We were evacuated for 3 months.

What's the most likely natural disaster to hit your home?

Tornado. We've had some close calls in recent years.

What natural event would you most like to witness in person?

God bringing the Rapture, and sweeping all the crazies to heaven (or wherever) and leaving all us sane, rational, non-religious people to turn the Earth into a paradise, free of religious zealotry and nuttiness.

What song have you listened to more than any other?

There's many songs I've listened to lots of time. And it's highly probable the real answer is some cartoon theme when I was a toddler... But since it is my favorite song from the first album of "adult music" I got as a child (8 or 9 y.o.), and I still listen to it regularly, I'd say Metallica's Fade to Black.

What song has a special meaning for you? (And why? If you feel like sharing...)

Blush Response by Vangelis. It was the background music that played every time you visited my MySpace profile 15 years ago. Wish we had a music player for our profiles here on Lush!

If Lush had a music player, what music would open when someone visited your profile?

Weird 50s sci-fi Theremin music

John Lennon's Imagine
