Mellowing out? Apologies?

My buddy Buck has an excellent post up at Exile in Portales http://exileinportales.blogspot.com/ about losing the edge. Partially it comes down to the bloggers who really get ugly. This includes yours truly. I can get nasty, ugly and down right reprehensible on this here blog. The other one at wordpress http://desertf16apg.wordpress.com/  is Among the Joshua Trees and it is much more civilized due to several nice ladies commenting on a regular basis. Maybe the in your face, I am right, screw you should be toned down? Not a bad idea. I could as Buck says, be losing my edge. Don't want that.
Also, I did a sort of reflective post on Joshua Trees. Go read it or not. Just me, ya know. But it does make a reference to the Bucket List. Yeah, I have sort of thought about it. Started one? OK, yeah, I did. Geez read the header on this blog! I had cancer for crying out loud. Seeing some old shipmates from days gone by would be a plus.
