I ponder...
I often ponder about different things. For example, some comments on one current blog about wearing masks and someone had to mention left radicals as though there isn't/aren't other types of radicals.
I ponder... are there moderate radicals?
Could they be cousin to right radicals?
Fauci's been quiet over Trump catching COVID-19.
Some think the whole thing is/was a ploy to down-play the seriousness of this virus.
No public word on the first lady and her condition. Hmmm...
Chris Christie gets COVID-19... obese, asthma, high cholesterol, possibly diabetic stays in the hospital only 4 days. His treatment and medical condition is off the radar, I ponder about the truth here.
I ponder why the truth is being covered up.
The media wants to know Trumps last positive test for COVID-19 and somehow his administration is unable to pinpoint (or doesn't want to pinpoint) when that was.
Should this upcoming election be neck-and-neck, how long will the legal battle be to determine a winner? This I ponder.
I'm going with the thought that if there is a landslide in favor of Biden, is there a possibility of Trump supporting militia units to surrounding the White house? That's a tough one to ponder. Would they be carrying AK-47's ? Another thing to ponder.
The question came up as to why toast has a higher amount of calories by weight than the bread it came from. I pondered and believe once the water content was gone toast was lighter.
If you performed the same test using 2 slices of bread versus 2 slices of toast (of the same loaf) the difference would be negligible.

A Special Birthday
September 27th is the birthday of an activist, you may have heard of.
He strongly protested the way things were and inspired a revolution of change.
Indeed, he has been called the father of that revolution.
While some of you may associate his name with beer, he actually was not successful in that endeavor.
It may surprise you, that at one point in his life, he was actually a tax collector.
Samual Adams was born on September 27th in 1722 in Boston, MA.

Samual Adams was born on September 27th in 1722 in Boston, MA.
In response to:
Samuel Adams was a Founding Father of the United States and a political theorist who protested British taxation without representation, uniting the American colonies in the fight for independence during the Revolutionary War. He was the second cousin of John Adams and the architect of political ideals about liberty and independence that led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and America’s independence from Great Britain. In his home state of Massachusetts, Adams held a number of political offices, and served as governor from 1793 to 1797.
Samuel Adams was born into an affluent Puritan family on September 27, 1722, in Boston, the largest city in the Massachusetts colony.
His father, Samuel Adams, Sr., was an accomplished merchant, brewer, deacon and political activist. His mother, Mary, was the daughter of a local merchant. Adams’ parents had 12 children, but he was just one of three who survived to adulthood.
He was raised in their home on Boston’s Purchase Street overlooking the colonial harbor. They had hoped he would pursue a career in the clergy, but it was his father’s political activism that sparked Adams’ curiosity.
After his initial education at Boston Latin School, he progressed to Harvard College where he studied the writings of John Locke, the Enlightenment philosopher whose conviction that all individuals were born with certain inalienable rights would form the basis of Adams' political theories about colonial freedoms.
His disdain for British rule over the colonies was also forged by his family’s experience: In 1741, British Parliament dissolved the colonial “land banks,” established to help landowners mortgage their land to gain access to money. Samuel Adams, Sr. had helped create the program and was held liable for outstanding balances.
The British seized much of Adams’ property and finances, gutting the family’s wealth and leading to repeated legal battles that his son later inherited.
Adams was not an instant success after his Harvard graduation. He failed as a brewer when he tried to run his father’s Boston malt business, and was later an unenthusiastic and unsuccessful tax collector.
Politics were his true passion, and in 1748 with his friends he published The Independent Advertiser, a newspaper to promote his opinion pieces, launching a career as a political leader and agitator.
Adams was also building his home life—in 1749 he married his pastor’s daughter, Elizabeth Checkley. They lived in his family home on Purchase Street and had six children before her death less than a decade later. He remarried in 1764 to Elizabeth Wells.
As Adams’ family grew, so did his voice in politics. When Britain imposed the Sugar Act of 1764, he wrote a critical response for the colonists in Massachusetts.
The Sugar Act was repealed, but Britain began a succession of harsher taxes, beginning with the Stamp Act, which imposed a tax on all printed documents. Adams joined John Hancock, Paul Revere and James Otis in secret meetings to form the radical group the Sons of Liberty to oppose the taxation without representation.
Violent protests in Boston targeted the homes of British authorities, making it nearly impossible for the British to enforce the Stamp Act.

A glitch with a twitch...
Several months ago some programming changes appeared to the blog page allowing comment numbers, comment likes and a simplification of quoting a specific comment.
The glitch appears that when the person who wrote the blog (OP) locks the blog, as some have found a way to bypass the lock and continue making comments after the OP decides 'enough is enough' and from this we have a mild case of pandemonium breaking out.
I see an instant mood change for those who can get in to a locked blog.
Calling all programmers... cleanup on aisle nine!

The birth of the Lord Jesus
God sees things as a whole and there are 3 reasons why Jesus was born in manger and not in people's homes or in any palace.
AND I will explain to you those 3 reasons why God chose to do this
1 In this way the story of the birth of Jesus was to reach the soul of the people more easily .... people will remember a story sad lighter than a cheerful one.
2 God does not need material things, palaces, or expensive houses, let us not forget that God created the world in which we live
3 By the fact that the Virgin Mary was not received in the house and ended up giving birth in a manger somewhere farther from the village ... God thus gave Jesus the opportunity to survive the fact that Herod was going to kill children up to 2 years old.
I believe God already knew what was going to happen when Herod found out that a greater King would be born.
than he whom men would love and follow more than Herod. And because God knew Herod, he will
you want to kill Jesus, God wanted to give time to Joseph and the Virgin Mary to take the baby and go ahead
for the soldiers to reach them. Because God had other plans for His Son.
As I said, God sees things as a whole and far beyond our imagination. God by one chance
did 3 good things I listed above. I wish you happy holidays and let's not forget that Christmas means more than food and drink, It means the Birth of the Lord and Our Savior.
Thank you for your attention and time.

World Giraffe day.
World Giraffe Day is an exciting annual event initiated by GCF to celebrate the tallest animal on the longest day or night (depending on which hemisphere you live!) of the year – 21 June – every year!
Zoos, schools, NGOs, governments, institutions, companies and conservation organisations around the world are hosting events on or around WGD to raise awareness and support for giraffe in the wild.
Many people that love the outdoors have personal stories about about this animal. I'll add my story a little later when at home.

Freudian Interpretation of Dreams
a) Hypermnesic Dreams
Hypermnesic dreams are those dreams where the dreamer dreams of something that he or she has not experienced in real life and later to amazement finds that it exists.
Example
A musical composer dreams of a musical composition and later to his astonishment finds that such a composition exists.
In hypermnesic dreams the intuitionary power of the dream borders on the psychic and transcends the normal realm of the senses.
b) Stimuli Reciprocal Dreams
Stimuli reciprocal dreams occur when the dreamer is in contact with an external object and it stimulates a dream in the dreamer.
Example
A dreamer who was sleeping with a hot water bottle under his neck had a dream of being caught on fire.
c) Prophetic Dreams
Prophetic dreams occur as dream symbols and point out to a reality that will occur in the future.
Example
Let’s take the Old Testament of the Bible and the dream interpretation that occurred to Joseph. Joseph was incarcerated by the Pharaoh for a crime that he did not commit. The Pharaoh had a dream where saw seven bovine creatures and seven stout grains of corn and then he saw seven famished bovine creatures eating them up. Joseph interpreted this dream as the occurrence of famine in Egypt and the need to store grain. Joseph for his power of dream interpretation was promoted to the ranks of a minister.
d) Somatic Dreams
Somatic dreams occur from the stimulus of the body and they point out to the coming forth of major illness.
Example
A dreamer dreams of falling unconscious all the time. It later on happened in the life of the dreamer that he became afflicted with Epilepsy.
Hallucinatory Dreams
Hallucinatory dreams take place when the dream symbols become exaggerated and out of place with a happening reality.
Example
Once I dreamed of a painting though I could never draw. I saw whole group of agitated people standing on the hull of a ship and they were all blind and crying out. The ship was floating on a sea of eyes. Hallucinatory dreams can also have symbolic connotations.
Libidinal Dreams
Libidinal dreams are s*xual in nature and they show the manifestation of s*xual desires.
Example
I had a dream where I had collection of tame elephants in the terrace of my house. In the dream, it was night and a Wild Elephant came up to me and it was very disturbed. I pacified it and took it to the herd of elephants which I grew. The Wild Elephant is an expression of my chaotic and untamed libido and the dream was an explanation that I was taming it and sublimating it through writing that is literature.
Therapeutic Dreams
Therapeutic dreams are self healing dreams and they point out to the cathartic cleansing of the EGO.
Example
I had a lover who ditched me and who later died in an accident. I became extremely grieved and tried dreaming of her but luck failed me. And then I had a marvelous dream. I dreamed that I was sitting beside her stroking, fondling and kissing her and talking affectionately to her.

Ethical Shopping
I like avocados, I put them in salads. The trouble is; they are quite expensive and I find that about one in six of the ones I buy is black and mushy, inside. I do examine them thoroughly before I pop them into my trolly but, as yet, haven’t managed to find a way of accurately predicting their internal condition.
I don’t doubt for a minute that the store would immediately replace any inedible ones, with no questions asked, but it’s a fifteen minute drive each way and it really doesn’t seem worth the bother, and I really don’t want to hang on to mangy avocados until the next time I go shopping.
I do my shopping by the scan as you go method, so when I get to the checkout everything is already in my bags and all I have to do is pay for it. This means I only pay for what I have scanned. So, to come to the point, I’ve been wondering if it would be morally acceptable to not scan every sixth avocado that I put in my shopping. I’m sure the store’s position on this would be, no, definitely not, but they would be looking at the situation from an entirely different point of view to me. If they were to allow the practice, everyone would be not scanning half of their shopping on the grounds that there is always a possibility that something might not be up to standard.
My solution to our differing perspectives and the store’s argument against my proposal would be to not tell the store I was doing it. From both a philosophical and practical standpoint, this seems the optimal strategy. My problem would be solved and, by maintaining secrecy, no one else would be encouraged to do the same thing.
I do, of course, realise that a good deal of caution will be necessary in the execution of my plan, as the police tend not to be very imaginative regarding the distinction between creative problem solving and shoplifting.
