Know It All’s, That Don’t!

Know it All’s, that Don’t!
I like reading books on scientific research, and discoveries. However, nowadays when you look at new authors, and their “supposed” new discoveries that THEY researched, you find facts and evidence about everything that has gone before! Including all the SAME research that has BEEN DONE, for the last 100 years or more.
This is what happens when you have “internet intellectuals”. One of my “exes” had a bit of intellect, meaning she thought she knew everything about everything. Including information that she had never heard of before; this was waaay before the internet. Can you all say “ANNOYING?” Probably why she is an ex.
There are people in this world who will stop what they are doing and come offer you help WHILE you are doing whatever you are doing. I used to put up on a whiteboard at my National Guard unit, what the next month's drill duties would be. I was WRITING ON THE BOARD, reading from my notes I had gotten from the Commander. While I was doing it, some folks would stop what they were doing and come offer advice about how I should be doing it! AAAarrrGGHHH!
I have run into these folks all my life. THEY think that EVERYBODY should have the benefit of their opinions. Well, whoop de Flippen do, I didn’t know you were a life expert, since you live in a van down by the river. Remember Chris Farley? Luckily, I have not had this happen around here, maybe because I left “that western/coastal state”. But they’re out there watching, waiting until you start a conversation. Then BAM, or sounds of that type. Remember the old Dilbert cartoon? Yeah, the office worker who would launch himself across the cubicles to land in the conversation saying: “Did you know I’m an expert of whatever it is you are discussing?”.
There are MANY replies to this type of intrusion, most of them very vulgar. IF you are Military, you know what I mean. IF you are going to “instruct the rest of humanity” on all information, PLEASE learn what you are talking about! Then maybe we will listen, but being a guy, I doubt it.
We are all MORE than welcoming to ANY warm weather, so prepare, and enjoy what we have.
