a good place to lose time is alltop an aggregator of feeds. It leads to the moere tech savvy sites but will reward you with something interesting and as its keyword and catagory oriented its smarter than just googling a term and more likely to give yoy relevant up to date stories.

The zen group was talking about facebook and such places and what sort of avatar or image one would use to represent isself - mine is the self prortrait in gourd, being a jack-o-lantern carved in 01 or 02 during the annual fall cole-waldschmidt-easterday barn party. The image came from a stencil making software program called " Me-on-a-pumpkin". Go to http://www.carvingtechnologies.com/ to see it. And here's the family portrait with Andi, James and Arrow the Dog.

How do I know what I think until I can read what I wrote.

Once you have mastered your perceptions, one must master ones desires. Only then will reality reveal itself to be quite different from what was expected.

What you choose to think about and what you think about your self -is your self. On the other hand the core you is no-self.

The interpretation you make of the history of yourself, the life story script up to now that you accept will determin if the next chapter is to be an adventure, a farce or a tragedy.

another useless collection of ones and zeros

So I started another one a blog called the c point. I'm going to post info on the cabin and woods perhaps use it as the environmental desk. Its here .

When i update the senior committe map or the schedule I'll post that also.

Not sure how this'll look still learning this bloggstuff.

Its the end of the world as we know it

As I've said below I first heard the world ends Feb 1, 2019 a while ago in 2002 before most of the really bad shit happened. Yea bad shit happens, all the time, somewhere, to someone. As I thought of making Feb 1st a personal holiday to contemplate living in the now versus checking in on hgow we're doing with those long range plans, and to make pies. I guess thats sorta what new years day is for some (or get drunk again with everybody night). More pointedly can I live my life actually expecting the end of the world in slightly less than eleven years. First it lets me off the guilt hook of knowing my "estate" and retirement savings are non existant. Secondly I feel like I'm capable of surviving for ten years it's getting to be past 75 that looks scary as hell. Knowing I'll die at the age of 64 allows me to begin to understand the reality of my death. The inevitability of death and taxes is todays koan.
Gotta go do my tax form, (only have 10 more to do).
