One day after school my best friend Jeff and I were working on his family farm. They lived about 2 miles away and after school I would get on my four ...wheeler and ride through the hills and fields to get to their house. Jeff and I were horn dogs, typical teen aged boys. We used to be pretty radical as well. This was back in 1988 and they had just bought a brand new 4x4 for the farm. We would sneak off with the truck and go up to the state line were there was a party store. I would order up our. ?How many?... How old?? ?Half dozen? All in their late teens, maybe one or two at the most? Twenty.? The passenger calmly answers the driver while wiping his arms, face, finally his hands with the soiled rag. ?Just in time? Starten’ to rain pretty good.? ?No one with ‘em? You made sure we got ‘em all? We ca?? ?Damn right I’m sure? Hell, this ain’t our first time.? The passenger butts in, tossing the rag on the seat between them. ?Nobody’s going to miss them for. Somewhere along the way, we both got clean and orderly. Taking care of the things that have to get done so we could relax? Is this growing up and being in your mid-20’s? It took us 10 minutes to sort, fold and put away. I got into an oversized football jersey from Scott, and he put on some boxers and a t-shirt. High fashion we ain’t, comfortable we is. I was lying on my side and the shirt slowly moved up my legs until I was starting to show something that interested Scott. That’s when I heard. Over the last two months, my power output has grown a factor of eighteen squared. I can now create and destroy matter at a rate of 419 metric tons per second.At my current ability, it would take me about forty days to reduce the worldwide concentration of CO2 by one ppm, forty days to turn 350 ppm into 349 ppm by destroying the carbon atoms and leaving the O2 molecules behind. I might get around to doing it. I would be so ashamed of myself if my powers suddenly disappeared, and through laziness.
