Shockers is a shortening of Wheat Shockers. Before the combine, wheat would be gathered by hand and left standing in groups called shocks of wheat. They would then be collected by truck. The people who did the manual work were wheat shockers. Wichita State being in wheat country the name is appropriate.

Your position is unique. There aren't many who'll answer you in this thread who could stand in your shoes. Its not just a job you are doing. If it were, you could just walk away and they'd hire someone new. If there were unlimited, qualified, trained, experienced men to take your place, your dilemma would be easier. My war had unlimited fodder. There were 10 guys to take my place when I'd had enough. This enemy isn't going away anytime soon. The tactics we are employing is a different discussion. If everyone took their turn and stood a post, the weight would be easier to bear. But for now it is you few holding it up. I thank you for what you've done and continue to do. Whatever decision you make will be the right one. Don't look back. God bless you.

Saw the movie today. It is only playing in one theater in New York City. Unbelievable. Powerful stuff. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm going to Ireland at the end of the month for a week with my wife and two teenage kids. We are landing in Dublin and renting a car and just taking off. Any tips? How's the driving? Anything I shouldn't miss?

There was a British TV series awhile back called Cracker starring Robbie Coltrane as a psychologist with some habits his wife thought were a problem. She forces him to a GA meeting and the results are poignant and hilarious. I wish I could post the video here, I'm sure all the posters would find it quite enjoyable.
