That killer white pine, leaning toward some bedrooms, is now in burnable pieces. Got a fat insurance Co. check to replace the roof damage she, her branches and the ocean wind did. Before spliting large trunk pieces into morsels, it was surprising how many Mainers the "free wood" sign attracted. Put a "free" sign on a dead cat on the lawn here, and some bearded crusty north woods character will take it, feeling happy to be getting a deal. People said they used the stuff to make all sort of items..... bowls, spoons, lake dock walkover platforms, table legs, and so on. Burning the rest in the yard in controlled fashion, rather than pay to take it to the dump. Break from the usual summer coastal boat trip. Not the best wood for stoves. But how the mind wonders in the fire induced warmth, flickering consuming flames, and attendant near induced trance. As in driving long distances, where autopilot miles pass, without awareness of driving functions, tossing needed branch pieces into the flames just seems to happen, while the thoughts flow. How to rewrite the draft of memoirs, what has been my role in lifes's woes, plusses/minuses of a next partner, new riffs for another song. Or, are the numerical repetitions seen near universally when applying chaos theory to examine observations in everything from heart palpitations to weather more than mere quirks of math? Yikes! Aa.

i was having a dream about my teeth falling out.
a noise at my front door woke me up.
then voices.
footsteps in my hall & back room.
someone shouted "Hello".
"Hello?!" i shouted in a "wtf?" kinda way
i got up.
opened my living room/bedroom door to having a torch shone in my face.
it was the cops.
apparently when i came back from the store earlier i hadn't closed my front door properly.
it musta just swung open while i was asleep & i guess one of the neighbours called the cops thinking my place had been broken into. i think the cop said that they'd tried shouting in & got no reply. f*ck what a mess my place is.
great.
now these cops'll tell 2 friends...

Like an Ancient Greek Philosopher in Perpetual Contemplation of Life in the Universe and how it must of came to be

I Gaze upon the Sunbeams as they pass through my window and watch all the micro-particles float and swirl, mixing and mingling, then wonder, Could this be where life began

At night i Gaze into the Cosmos Searching for unidentified movement as meteors Zip across and through Earths Atmosphere, thinking to myself, could these be the vehicles that brought life to this lucky planetary body

The building blocks of life must surely have water,carbon and energy, whether it be in a solid,liquid or gas.

In the Universe we see great Comets of Ice Emitting unknown volumes of gas vapor as they sprinkle along their journey. Could this be the Magical Mystery that delivers life like johnny Appleseed throughout the Cosmos

For every Twinkling Star in the Universe that's seen, we know that through time and space, those rays of light and energy are entering into our world, and within those Cosmic Rays most assuredly are all the Magic particles of life, Just as our Sun and its energy beams which give us light, also transports within those beams of energy, Life Itself

It must be the Answer to the Riddle

Through Time and Space, At the Speed of Light, Delivers Life and those welcoming places that nurtures it, Flourishes

of what wonders await my grandchildren in a future when it is only at the doorstep I can sit.

to revolutionize energy use?


If one is considering an Electric Vehicle, one might wish to raise the question if the EV could be adaptable to new battery technology.

@ 10:30 - This raises the fascinating prospect, how many nerds with no interest in sports are eagerly anticipating the Tokyo '20 Olympics?

...Individual adult therapies, groups for children, families, couples, even our dogs. Most folks would be surprised to learn of how the various programs that train counselors teach the craft. Many adhere to unproved dogma, such as rank behavioralism, or Freudian psychodynamics. Where there is some evidence of efficacy, as with CBT, didactics are often sloppy. You read papers or books on the techniques, then have supervision during training, on what goes on in working with your charges. Rarely, mostly in learning family work, two way mirrors are involved. but systematic testing on knowledge, techniques or success is not the rule. No wonder we hear of so many incompetent counselors. But when AI advances enough, perhaps using depth cybernetics, based on quantum phenomena and speed, and including near human levels of relating, psychotherapy may finally be much more effective. And as an added bonus, no more having the doctor trying to put her hand up your kilt.

Many will know of how, among some men, fishing stories occasionally turn up tales of specimens several times larger than even remotely biologically possible. Does one see such for things among women?
