About Me

I was born to poor dirt farmers. Unfortunately, they weren’t very horticultural (perhaps that’s why we were so poor). I discovered this fact when I tried to branch out by planting a rock garden, but couldn’t get it to grow. I never knew just how much to water it. I went to school to learn a new trade. When my mom told me I could always drive her nuts, I was inspired to take classes to learn how to drive a long-haul truck. This new vocation presented me with a new dilemma — which way should I go first? I decided to follow the advice of my forefathers and ‘go west, young man.’ Things began to look up for me when I got to California. I got another job, but I had to head in another direction. Since then, my life has led in so many directions I’ve lost track myself. Now, I’m retired and have my own business. I was walking along one day, wondering what to do next, when the idea struck me like a bolt. I turned and realized I was alone. Looking down, I discovered that for the first time, I could tell exactly how I’d arrived at my destination. I took some money out of my bank account and bought everything I’d need to go into business for myself. I have at last found my life’s calling. I rake the footprints out of the sand on Navarre Beach, Florida.

WTF?

I racked my brain. What does <3 mean?  I <3 John (or Mary or whomever). I less than 3 John?   2, 1, or 0 are less than 3, not to mention the myriad negative mubers.
