Thanks for reading, the complement and the link.

I am an Aerospace Engineer and studied thermodynamics. I have often used the entropy analogy to help other engineers understand social/work relationships and also the need to maintain equipment.

If you don't use intelligence and energy to build and reinforce, things will fall apart faster. No we can't stop the arrow of time (usually we say the march of time but in deference to the link you sent, I will use arrow) we can slow the arrow. Rust never sleeps. Did Neil Young make that up or steal it but it is so true.

I am not really an engineer's engineer. More of a conceptual artist and tinkerer of an engineer.

What I wrote was sad but it was a way of getting it out of my system. Some else responded it was one of those stories you write and throw away. I am glad you could appreciate. I am better now and for a while having moved on.

Thanks again.
