Between the Wheels

A Tale of Tomorrow's Reality by Stewart Sutcliffe

By mid January of 2014 radiation levels were finally judged safe enough to venture into the Capital of Washington DC by NATO investigators investing the reacent calamety that has beset the whole word.  There are no easy ways to use euphamisms for a world wide nuclear war after all.  If there is any silver lining to it it's that the entire war lasted only seven months or something, but it now seems like seven years since the last January on the calendar rolled around.  People still want to know "What happened" not that the acts and events of the year past aren't pretty public already but some people like 9 - 11 investigators want to pick over the bones and see what they missed.  They found one extended journal by Joe Byden in the basement of the Vice Presidential headquarters.  Basically the whole Washington to New York or maybe even Boston - - corridor was pretty much wiped out.  Now it was just two buildings that were rubble but the whole of Manhattan.  You had to get west of the appelations to find any safe area at all.  Torranto was hit and Detroit highly affected but Chicago would be livable in a few years.  Most of the people who survived had some to some form of underground shelter like parking lots or subways or the storm drain system and the like, and medical personnel were busy passing out anti radiation pills and the like to expel the poisons faster, and foreign countries from Mexico to Chile to Brazil, who were pretty much unaffected by the holicaust were donating fruit and vegetables and such that weren't contaminated. The cities of Seattle and Portland were pretty much wiped out but San Francisco got off lucky without a hit, at least successful.  There were several strikes east of Los Angeles centered around Palm Springs and Indio- - - and San Diego sustained a direct hit.  The death toll needless to say was horrendus so now it was time to read Joe Byden's journal and learned how the whole gosh darned thing got started.

Things weren't going at all well for the Obama campaign for reelection in the summer of 2012.  Romney was rising in the polls on an almost daily basis.  People charged that the President didn't care about the people but was just palling around with the Hollywood gay community and didn't have the guts to meet with any group that wasn't already heavily pre screened, politically and every other way.  The media spent at least times as much air time talking about Obama's money raising measures than he did with Mitt Romney who was pretty much able to do everything in secret, which worked to his great advantage since polls in many rural states showed many people believed the President was outspending Romney by a ratio of from two to one to three to one.  Then there was the release of George Zimmerman from prison because he made the new, increased bond, thanks to all of the right wing network of groups.  Ted Nugent was brought back by the Romney campaign and Nugent made it clear to people, even vintage rockers, that he was not some whacked out extremist, and actually seemed to convince many people.  There was more bad news for Obama in that jobs numbers were on a long standing adverse pattern month after month with more people giving up looking for a job, and finally net losses of jobs occuring for a month.  The President got into trouble later in July when Syria launched its worst attacks so far and killed a record number of innocent people and the President had that same strange air of apathy seemingly unconcerned.  Things only got worse at the concention when Romney's poll numbers shot up to record levels.  The Republican convention was a masterpiece of Media orchestrations and art and set decoration and lighting were phenominal for a really spactacular visual as well as substantive presentation. People like Stephany Miller and Randy Rhodes tried to find flaws in this Republican extravaganza and the closest they could come is Newt Gingrich's major speech on the second evening endorsing Romney.  There were reference to shifty eyes and strained posture and hesitations in his sentenses at suspicious times. Romney chose Michelle Bachman as his vice president because "We need the women's vote and we need to let the American people know that we are not at war with women".  And the poll numbers with women jumped after this.  Michelle Bachman herself gave an amazing technically perfect well read speech with planned out content.

Things continued to bode poorly for Obama when at his own convention the weather reaped havic with the week.  There were sudden rain storms and flooding delaying deligates from arriving stuck in the mud.  Light knocked out power at one point and there were other inexplicable problems with the lighting and the sound system.  The President himself appeared nervous and uneasy, and it showed up in the post concention polls.  Things only got worse from there when congress failed to pass yet Another jobs plan that the President put on the table.  Nothing was passed and Mitt Romney was again only willing to blame the President for this.  Then what seemed like a break turned otherwise.  Number one Al Qaeda opperative, Zwahari was killed and the Obama administration announced the end of Al Qaeda and people like Rush Limbaugh got on the radio and says "This administration has the besetting problem of pronouncing a problem as solved when it is anything but."  Then a story that had first appeared in June and even earlier reared its head.  The Obama administration was accused of leaking classified information with "kill lists" and the like and secret conversations designed to make his own administration look good.  Though democrats denounced the leaks too, for people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity that didn't matter, because being a democrat was proof enough of culpibility.  However Mitt Romney was concerned he hadn't overwhelmed the Democrats in terms of money because Obama held his own in the debates and more donations were flowing in to Obama.  So when the medial Health Providers came to Mitt Romney said they would withhold any more support till Romney made a secret deal with them to continue health care Romney had no choice in his mind but to agree.  It was agreed that individual doctors were a poor substitute for drug companies and Health Providers getting all those compulsary new cusstomers when the plan went into effect, so Romney agreed to their terms.  He announced this development ten days after winning the election as among the reforms he would be making or NOT making.

On election day of 2012 Mitt Romney won the popular vote 53% to 47% for Obama but did better in the electoral vote winning many key swing states such as Ohio, Florida, and Virginia, even if he still lost California but only by a hair.  He won in Nevada and Arizona was a landslide.  The inogural address was perhaps the tackiest speech any President has ever made.  He did all of this primping and posturing and bragging about what a political triumph this day was and contrary to tradition kind of shunned all the usual stuff about "God" and that "uplifting" material.  Instead he went into amazing detail for an inogural speech about just what his plans were for America.  He was bold enough to virtually Fire the chairman of the Federal Reserve right there from the inogural lecturn though he stopped just short of this.  The following day Rush Limbaugh was understandibly giddy and brought out some old recordings of pop songs that he had ready to use as "appropiate for the moment".  It was two days later that President Romney was assasenated - - killed, while attending some routine Washington DC dinner.  The leader of Hez Ballah claimed credit for it and said they picked January 22nd as a protest against the barbaric western practice of legalized abortion Meanwhile in the White House there were swasticas drawn in blood all over the Lincoln Bedroom.  They scrambled to get a DNA on the blood.  But before they were even done with that task another grizzly discovery was made.  It seems the victim was a prominent secret service agent who was found dead in an unused service elevator with his throat slit ear to ear, OJ style.  It also so happened that this man had been secretly gay.  During the campaign there was an almost resignation that the democrats were destined to lose.  The Green party knew they couldn't pull off an assasenation alone but kind of canvased the globe looking for a terrorist group that wasn't too well known but could work with them and had expertise in this area.  The group was a revised combination of some Green Party radicals working with a revived Hez Ballah, which had now promoted itself again due to the demise of Al Qaeda and Hez Ballah said that "Al Qaeda has suffered the judgement of God".  The plan was fantastically well organized and carried out knowing exacting things about the times of the breaks of various secret service people.  During the campaign Romney had advocated that fifty calabre guns remain legal and the "cop killed bullets" too.  But the President had been cut down by your garden variety .38 revolver.  After the election - - the stock market increased because Mitt Romney was already making secret plans for a war with Iran that he planned to start weeks after assuming office.  But despite roomers propigated by people such as Bill Press- - this "alarm" never got traction.

The goal had been that Michelle Bachman would prove such a weak leader that she would soon be toppled.  Actually in the speech Michelle gave upon assuming office she tried to have a cool head and say that the United States could continue to be in responsible hands. The organizations of the assasenation had no clue that there was an impending war that was to be declared.  But clearly Mitt Romney in the two or so months prior to the inoguration made a point to inflame tensions with Iran at virtually every media opportunity, like a bully egging for a fight.  In Michelle Bachman's speech to Congress she made the point that she was only loyally following in Romney's footsteps carrying on in his tradition.  It didn't take long to manufacture some incident like Gulf of Tomkin to give Congress an excuse to declare war.  And this was the first actual declaration of full scale War since World War II.  And unlike that one the gays as well as women would be drafted right along with everybody else.  One would hope this would rouse them out of their "slumber' on the war issue- - but when it did it was too late for them.  The US declared war on Iran and one thing led to another and before you knew it first missiles were being exchanged and after a while it escalated to Nuclear Bombs.  Israel did amazingly little to help the US because Iran didn't have a fight with Israel but only the United States as Iran vowed to give President Bachman an "Attitude adjustment".  Russia oddly enough allied itself with Iran and not with the West and it was the clossest thing we ever got to a war with Russia.  When push came to shove Russia allied itself with Iran and Syria that was also a participent.  China had official nutrality but its propiganda seemed strongly supportive of Iran as it was disinclined to accept the US explanation for anything.  So that's where we are today on this mid January of 2014 and have to pick up the pieces and move on.

No Hope - As Far as the Eye Can See

This morning I went out at ten to nine to finally buy more cigarettes.  I had become a little disgusted with Stephanie Miller and her laugh a minute show in the light of the political disaster we find ourselves in after the political Armageddon that took place Tuesday in Wisconsin.  Blame the transit of the sun by Venus or something for it.  You know I’m as optimistic as the next fellow and indeed between both my parents andx one brother, I am by far the most optimistic of those four.  Yet there is absolutely nothing to be optimistic about.  Maybe Rush Limbaugh is right.  Obama is retreating into his own world of celebrities and the gay community, who seem to know little about the lives of actual Americans.  As I was leaving the building I noticed something was very different outside.  All that greenery out in the front around the building enterance is gone.  That as you know is the very first photo taken with my current camera that I posted.   It’s like a woman concerned about her attractiveness going in for a little fat reduction surgery here and there.  And when she recovers from the anesthetic she now finds she has a body like Twiggy with absolutely no shape in her hips or other vital parts.  And she is informed she is now without a bunch of internal organs such as her gallbladder, her spleen, her appendix, her uteris and her overies.  Not only are the democrats without hope but the means by which we could ever GET hope are gone.  Now they say the league of women voters has stopped registering voters in Florida and other states because the environment is just too hostile.  And of course organizations such as acorns no longer exist.  It seems as if voter registration across the board is languishing and nobody is doing it.   Even people who aren’t that political have every right to be upset at Scott Walker.  This is a man who bragged to that woman on the phone what great plans he was about to unveil for the labor unions that he totally didn’t campaign on.  It wasn’t part of the bargain in electing him.  And then there is that put up call with the Koch brothers, or at least Scott Walker was kissing his ass because he thought he was the real Mc Coy braging about what a great working relationship they have.  And yesterday you have Mitt Romney doing all this political mugging, OJ style, gloating about what a great victory is is in Wisconsin and sticking it to the workers, and how he is so looking forward to taking this show on the road nationally when he becomes President.  Bills that used to be routine to pass such as equal pay for equal work, and the violence against women act and the President’s jobs program of last September building roads and bridges and money for police and fire and teachers and all- - - suddenly not passing such common sense legislation is OK.  This is in the face of the fact that these are EXACTLY the areas where the economy is the weakest and how passage of these measures, a bill which pays for everything it proposes,  is something the Republicans have talked the American people into believing that it’s something they do not want, when common sense dictates that they should.  Now I hear it’s illegal in the work place for women to even Discuss how much they make with other workers because they don’t want various workers comparing notes and learning that women only make 77% of what men do.  And I’m really not sure why the Republicans regard violence against women as such a wonderful thing.  It doesn’t take a radical to glean that something radical is going to happen political somewhere down the line, including a vast overhaul of the Democratic party or more likely the rise of a third party as in the days of Lincoln when the other two parties were not compentent to handle the job.  One might even think of 1920’s Germany when that nation was kind of screwed over by the Versilles Treaty they had no choice but to sign.  It was “just something they could not get used to” as many Americans wont EVER get used to all this austerity crap that’s been shoved down our throats and hasn’t worked where it was tried- - in Europe.  Is it any wonder then that the German people were desperate to try anything even turning to the Nazi party, which supposedly was “national socialism”, which it turned out in the end to be anything but.  How many those who still have brain cells that work - - - and human nature being what it is (as John Lennon said once, “I can’t stop my brain”) are going to affix blame for all their problems- - and maybe not on the right people- - like the Germans did with the Jewish businessmen.  It may be a case of throwing the baby out with he bathwater.  We cant give up capitalism, but it’s got to be overhauled so that it again “works”.  The solution for wrong use of something is not non use, but Right use of it.  But I see no time in the future when anything will be “fixed”.

The LA Kings failed to sweep the series losing game four tonight dispiriting a lot of fans and sapping everyone of their psychic energy.  The Kings never led in this game.  The Devils led one to nothing and the Kings tied it.  Then the Devils scored again making it two to one, and then they scored again with a minute to go making it three to one, the final score.  Game four will be in New Jersey and hopefully since it’s a road game will have television coverage, so there is some kind of silver lining.  The Kings played Montreal in 1993 and the Kings went down four games to one, and the one Kings win was in Montreal.  The game concluded at about five to eight.  Sometimes radio coverage can be frustrating.

We have been predicting the Supreme Court would in favor of mandentory insurance for all Americans.  We mentioned higher up that this would be no problem for Mitt Romney and his supporters be damned.  After all Scott Walker sure never ran on a platform of wiping out pensions and government unions.  But the people interviewed say they only vote for recall for mal feasence.  The fact he may be indicted in a couple weeks doesn’t seem to enter their minds.  Randy Rhodes is saying that Romney will do nothing to interfere with Obama Care going ahead as scheduled without delay.  That should give the tea party conniption fits but saying “We told you so” will be of no avail.  I imagine on this issue Mitt Romney knows how to read a poll and the American people are for some form of massive health care.  I’m not but they are.  I think the Democratic party and all of the President’s fans have conducted an “excessively leisurely” campaign and I’ll tell you right now President Obama is no Harry Truman if he has hopes of repeating 1948.

Ray Bradbury said he was less interested in predicting the future than Preventing it.  Let’s hope.  He said the internet is a scam and men playing video games is a gigantic waste of time.  He’s been writing science fiction since 1950 when the whole craze kind of began, but Bradbury was already thirty they say.  They say as a child he “lived at the library”.  He came to Los Angeles in 1934. Bradbury graduated from LA high school and apparently lacked a college education.  Ray Bradbury was born August 22^nd of 1920 which makes him older than Dad.  I have no problem with “political alligories”.  But I do have problems, and I’m not saying Bradbury is guilty of it, with someone trying to cram some message down our throats that’s really not germain to the story but that’s just thinly disguised political advocacy.  Commentators get off on this kind of writing where something is obviously “out of place” with the times but it’s thrown in anyhow.

Scott Walker - Too Depressing to Talk About

So now we have elected a criminal soon to be indicted to continue as governor of Wisconsin.  I never knew Scott Walker was so young.  Scott Walker met his wife in 1992 and now he has a son graduating and a son going into his senior year of High School.  I never knew he was- - what- - forty or less?  People who knew him way back when say he was a sleaze bag anyhow. The liberals have tried as they might to come up with an explanation for yesterday's deboccle but the point is that there is none.  Like a popsical we were licked.  But the LA Kings have won three games andProposition 29 failed in California, which is a major cause to celebrate.  You have the Burman and Shermon concests in California or two congressmen now forced to share one district due to the machinations of Republican redistricting.

THOUGHT IMAGES 

The Chinese pictograms are one of the things you become fermiliar with reading the I Ching and these are thought images, which is what we said that a lot of "Spiritual Revelations" were, if you actually break them down  (one of the four “experiences” in learning)   THREE OTHER WAYS OF EXPERIANCIAL LEARNING WHICH ARE – AUTHORITY INSTRUCTION – TACTILE EXPERIENCE referring to any kind of aquired skill from making coffee to firing a gun to swinging a golf club to hammering a nail to handle a paint brush or a pair of drum sticks.   - EXPERIANCED HUNCHES -  These involve white collar professions from therapists, to police detectives to lawyers to advertizing consultents to economists.  They involve "knowing what to do" at a given time.

THE ABYSMAL WATER WOOD TRANSMUTATION ANALOGY Chapter 29 of the I Ching is the Abysmal Water and the 6 top line turns to an 8.  All sixes turn to 8's and all 9's turn to 7's.  So the top triagram turns to wood, as in boat, which means floats on top of the water.

THE CORNER MIRRORS GREEK SYLIGISM ANALOGY  There are four aspects to any "Argument".  There is the original statement, the inverse, the converse, and the contrapositive.  Picture corner reflecting mirrors.  The one caty-corner from you is the one that is not reversed, and the two reversed images are the contra-positive to each other.  If you rephrase it "Perfect Love Casts out all Fear" is the converse of "Perfect Fear casts out all love.

CHILD’S BLOCKS AND THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF TIME TRAVEL  This one involves the necessity of additional "space" or "side-ways" time.  A tricky concept.

GOD IS A SOCIOPATH ANALOGY  God is utterly lacking in morality.  He doesn't perceive it and he doesn't care.  He just "threw paint up against the wall" in the original Creation.  He had an "idea" like a novelist.  He didn't know if it work but ran it up the flag pole to see if anybody salutes.

MISSING TIME OR MISSING SPACE OR INCLUDE BOTH   We talked about this one recently in a posting.  The "Dead" know nothing of geographic distance, and God knows nothing about Time, but we human beings living on Earth have a clear concept of both.

THE VYNAL RECORD AND INTERNET SPEED ANALOGY  16 KBPS is pretty crummy.  24 is a little better but not much.  32 is acceptable but still inferior.  You got to get up to 64 or so before you encounter some really decent sound.

THE SWINGING BATCHELOR AND SATURATED FAT ANALOGY  Saturated fats symbolize celebacy.  Mono unsaturated symbolizes monogamy.  But your swinging batchelor wants poly unsaturated or at least two free places to add hydrogen molicules.

THE BOEING 707 AND TRIG GENIOUS ANALOGY  This is half the square root of two and the sine and cosine and half way up the wave in terms of median- - in engineering.

CLIPPED WAVES AND A CERTAIN KIND OF SOUND DISTORTION.  This one is pretty self explanitory but just think of those mountains in West Virginia with sawed off tops.

THE HARMONICS AND MULTIPLICATION TABLE ANALOGY  I told you that figuring out harmonics was a simple things.  Harmonics are useful in Feng Chue and also Astrology.

THE MARTINI AND KURTOSIS ANALOGY  Pete Richards thinks two to one is normal.  I put it at maybe 2.4 to one or something but the experts say it's 3 to 1 which to me looks too high.

THE EINSTEIN TRIPPLE FLIP FLOP AND KNOWING THE FUTURE  In special relativity time, space, and mass all slip flop and double back on themselves.  So if there is ANY aspect of the human soul that travels light speed or faster - - - we already have lived the future.

THE REVERSE TEA BAGGER ANALOGY  Tea bags that have been in a lot of hot water become weak and bitter.  And so it is with the tea bagger politician.

ICE CREAM FLOATS AND “C’ VARIABLES  These come in singles, doubles, and sometimes tripples.  The imigry here is pretty straight forward.

CD PLAYING TIME VERSES HOURS PER WEEK WORKED  Less than 35 hours is pretty short.  Between 40 and 55 is normal.  Sixty is pretty heavy and people and CD's both have pretty much reached their endurance limits when you get up past 75.

COLLEGE CREDITS AND VYNAL RECORD SIDE TIME  Twelve is minimal and normal is around nineteen, but sometimes you get up to around 23 or so for a "busy" side or record.

REMEMBER – RED SHIFT MEANS “RETARDED” ANALOGY

SIXTY YEAR GRAND CYCLE ANALOGY  Chinese years run in cycles of sixty and Queen Elizabeth was coronated in the year of the water dragon, as is this year also.

VENUS AND THE TRACING PENTAGRAM ANALOGY  The planet traces a pentagram in the sky symbolizing the five Chinese elements, which takes eight years to accomplish.  Five such eight year cycles would land you a grand total of forty years.

THE BEACH WEATHER AND TEST SCORE ANALOGY  Seventy is barely passible.  Eighty is a lot better but 85 is better still and anything over ninety is a virtual slam dunk to decide.

THE RANDOM C VARIABLE & PSYCHIC TRAVEL ANALOGY  We discussed this one in our previous posting and so just go back and read it and get the comentary there.

THE X AND O ANALOGY – PROACTIVE VS REACTIVE  Self Explanitory

DIONECIAN – APOLONIAN – GNOSTIC VS LOGIC  Self Explanitory

THE ATNOSPHERE IS NOT ZERO ANALOGY (MOVING ZERO)  We just discussed this one recently too because our idea of what is really "zero" is skewed by the environment in which we live every day of our lives.

BAD TEST QUESTIONS OR BAD SAMPLE KURTOSIS ILLUS  Push Polls skew the results all to one thing.  If you see a Spite in certain answers or group it means there are too many questions "thumping that melon" so to speak.  The test is not broadly based enough.  This is too high a kurtosis.  Too low of kurtosis is the opposite where you have such a small sampeling you can't even find whatever trend there is and the scores seem random with maybe some vague pattern but not telling you where the "peak" really is.

THE ODD BEATLE OUT AND GAY RELIITIVISM ANALOGY  In Geometry three is company and four is a crowd because three points define a plane, but the question it need be only ANY combination of three points.  Which three they are do not matter in the least.  In any selection there always one off planier point that is odd man out.

THE ‘SEVENTY SIXER AND HYPERBOLIC ANALOGY  We discussed this one already.

THE ‘GOD JUST RAN OUT OF TIME’ CIRCULAR UNIVERSE ILLUSION  We discussed the absurdity is the idea that God is somehow 'inherently incapable' of creating Infinity.  It's axiomatic in science that He can't and yet I say the unspoken Reality is that he Can.

THE MARRIAGE AGE AND GOLD CARAT ANALOGY  14 is possible but awfully low.  Eighteen is better but still not great.  22 is pretty good and 24 is the ideal age or perfection.

THE BLOOD PRESSURE AND BLOOD SUGAR ANALOGY  Anything below a hundred in either you should check with your doctor if it occurs all the time.  Anything over 150 is a caution signal and anything over 200 in either case is a medical emergency.

VARIABLE TYPING AND “THEY ARE WHAT I CALL THEM”  We've discussed this one.

THE FOOTBALL GAME AND ECONOMICS ANALOGY  We want a government referee in fact they are essential to a fair game.  But we don't want the government acting as quarterback.  This is a position that both sides claim that they want.

THE “GOD IS A SCITZOFRENIC” HOLY TRINITY ANALOGY  Personalities are a Mask not only from other people but from the other two personalities who may be utterly ignorant of each other.  You see some of this separateness of the Persons in New Testament writings.

Abdul Al Libbi Brought Down by US Drones

Well now the Obama administration has another Kill under its belt.  The "number two" in Al Qaeda has been eliminated.  But unlike the others THIS one was SO much an instrumental Key to the every day opperation of Al Qaeda that his loss may be irreplacable.  The Al Qaeda number one guy is Zwahari, who is an older man.  But it was Al Libi who made the final decisions which attacks to carry out on Americans and the one who made a lot of Al Qaeda's propaganda speeches and the one Zwahari depended on greatly.  He was brought down by a US drone firing missiles.  This whole Drone business was Joe Byden's idea who advocated it years ago on Meet the Press as a good success tactict we should use, and it seems that Drones have definitely paid off.  Whether we want Drones spying us by local Police departments is another matter alltogether, however.

The Walt Disney Corporation will stop advertizing "Junk food" to kids on any of their programs marketed to children.  They have stopped serving trans fat foods in their theme parks as of several years ago.  These new food guidelines include strict calorie and nutritional regulation, as well as being low sodium, fat, and sugar, as well as limited portion size.  Needless to say I think all these new regulations totally suck because they are all trying to turn us into some sort of dried fruit and nuts society - - not that these are bad, but I think in cases of diets - fads come and go and now they are saying that this whole bottled water craze may be unhealthy for you because the human body just does not need that much water.  If Disney wants to actually do something Constructive, why don't they eliminate Gay day as Disneyland.

Every indication is that Proposition 29 will indeed pass in California.  Not even the most recent polls taken like five minutes ago show any different.  This means cigarettes will go up in price by a dollar and ditto for cigars.  They used to make the argument that high cigarette taxes were counter-productive because it would just encourage cigarette boot-leggers and that way the state gets NO tax.  Do they really want that?  I mean people like Judy say that "laws of supply and demand and market forces" trump morality every time and I suspect this indeed will be the case when Proposition 29 actually goes into effect.

It appears that Scott Walker has survived the recall attempt.  CBS news projects Scott Walker as "the winner in today's recall election" and his people are already celebrating.  So Armageddon has arrived and now MItt Romney and the tea party organization will be unstoppable.  All the hype from Ed Schultz and company about record high turn-outs in the State, proved for naught.  And besides even if the votes were close as exit polls indicated, then they'd just rig the figures their way in the voter machine manipulation or mysteriously find another forty thousand votes stuffed in some shoe box somewhere that the regestrar claims were never counted.  Of course Walker refused to negotiate what so ever with the teacher's union no matter how many concessions they were willing to make.  He wasn't after a deal, he was after "making a statement' like he told that woman.  His strategy was to "divide and conquer' by making the private unions think they were safe from his scruteny but was only going after government Unions.  That is- - at least for the time being.

Jerry Sundusky, that boy molesting coach at Penn State's trial is going forward this week.  Now they have introduced love letters written to various boys and one in particular who is 28 now who claims that Sandusky gave him every manner of gift.  Of course Rush Limbaugh doesn't see why the left is making such a big thing out of this child molestation scandal anyhow and tarnishing the fine record of Penn State and all.  But you have to know you can't hide these sorts of things forever.

I continue to not be happy with my blogger numbers. It still puzzles me why more people don't if anything just stumble upon one of my blogs by accident.  But then "The powers that Be" do have their say, don't they, and there is no questioning them.  We know that whatever is going to happen on the national scene is already predestined. But that doesn't mean we have to like it.

Dreams And The Unitialized "C" Variable

If you had a digitized version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on Blue Ray and a digitized version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on HDDVD meaning that you could transfer either to a standard code readable as a "Video" file anybody could access, but you got them from a different source, would they be alike.  The answer is that the copies would.  The content would be identical but the "mode" of it getting there would be different.  One might well argue that it isn't the pinial gland or any other "gland" that is connected with the human Soul but more obviously the perceptual cortexes of the brain as hopefully interperated by the frontal lobe.  In a "C" computer program, we are told that an uninitialized variable could be ANY of the possabilities of numbers.  For a sixteen bit variable this would be just over 65,000 possabilities.  When you dream I now believe that the Soul does routinely leave the body as the brain "disengages" and you turn off the senses.  I believe the input you get in your dreams is the SAME as fifth dimensional travel but NOT fifth dimensional travel.  BUT - - - one could argue that it indeed is.  This is in keeping of the axiom of "Anything that CAN happen HAS happened in some universe or another.  One must discriminate between what is merely Impossible- - and what is in the abstract- - - LOGICALLY impossible.  Some may argue that whoever designed the "addition of volocities" formula for Einstein- - reasoned that ANY number ABOVE one is NOT possible, because entering numbers greater than one causes this formula to have some sort of "meltdown" if you've ever done those calculations.  As you know in both "natural trig" and the other variety that I guess could be called "calculus trig' or something - - Cosine is a 1 and Sine is a 0 - - at Zero rating.  In natural trig of course- - it is LOGICALLY impossible that these numbers BE any different and that NO Sine or Cosine can ever be Greater than One by the very Nature of the Calculations. "Everybody sing! One is the Greatest Number that you'll ever Know"  We talked about a seemingly Logical impossibility of a camera Lens focusing Beyond Infinity.  A logical "positivitist" would merely say "It's a defective lens".  Using the C random variable logic however one might say that the lens indeed is focused Beyond Infinity.  IF YOU BELIEVE that it IS logically possible to "focus" on an object beyond infinity, - - well - - let's see you Find one!  But getting back to the Blue Ray verses HTDVD if THIS four-dimensional Universe is Blue Ray- - than anything in a HDDVD would be seemingly "logically impossible" to get to.  Period.   One might argue that the EN GRAMS are IDENTICAL to what others are ACTUALLY EXPERIANCING in a perrellel Universe- - they are the same in program content but since their Modes of Presidentation are completely different they are utterly incompatable.

ENTRIES FROM TODAY'S JOURNAL

We had sloppy Joes for lunch and French fries.  The soup was better than yesterday though it was just cabbage soup.  We had grapes for desert and the Oriental lady gave me her grapes.  I had seconds on the soup and the fries because they were already out of sloppy Joes by the time the cart made it over here.  I listened to that lady on KTLK a few minutes before eleven and a few minutes before noon.  I think I wandered out to the courtyard at some point before lunch.  I drowsed through most of the hour of Randy Rhodes.  Abe came clean about just what he did involving his threatening visit to Stephano prior to the murder.  Kate was unable to disguise how furious she was with Stephano but to gloss it over she said she still loved him and still felt emotionally attached to him.  [name withheld]  began calling names for Money Draw before one thirty but it was a slow line today.  I went down at two before my name was even called.  I saw there were still G’s like Elizabeth and Antony there.  I was going to return to my room but Dora called coffee and I got two cups from her.  The four birds were in the cage but one of the white birds is turning a distinctly shade of darker gray now for some reason.  By now the line had thinned out but neither mine nor Richard Moore’s names had been called.  One guy was told to leave because his name hadn’t been called.  By now the line was considerably shorter and a lot of people were missing that are usually there.  I gave the check  [material deleted here] That’s just two more dollars than last month but it’s a “shorter month” in terms of the ATM and I already got a haircut.  The phone bill however is identical.  I thought [name withheld]  was trying to cheat me again because she again brought up last month’s co pay that I think I’ve already been charged for - - - twice.  I asked for and got eighteen dollars to make the remaining amount even.  I grabbed two pieces of chocolate and then left.  I went to the store and bought two packs of John Black grape and a can of Folgiers I haven’t opened yet.  It’s turned out to be a nice day.  But this morning wearing this heavy blue shirt it was still cold and felt like putting on something more, but didn’t.  The clouds are picture perfect, like the ones in a postcard photo or painting.  I see no clouds in the sky right now.  They just called dinner.  I paid Paul Evans back the remaining four I owed him down stairs.

Loretta asked earlier if the Chinese stir fry was ever any good and I said “No”.  Well we had our red punch.  Now they are talking about Venus crossing the sun on Eye Witness.  Astrologically I think It represents the half way point of the economic surge, which according to my guides means there is a lot more ‘stimulation” to come, if it holds.  Tonight we had actual beef chunks and bits of other vegetables and imported rice from the “Glopigose” Islands, and I do mean Glop.  Where were also those mixed vegetables.  Our table had chocolate pudding for desert.  The rest had lemon.  They are still talking about Queen Elizabeth’s sixty years on the throne.  Now that’s what you call a really bad case of constipation.  At any rate we are all waiting for the Wisconsin recall election results.  I did not vote today.  I thought about after I got paid but there didn’t seem to be any point.  When it came down to it there was nothing or anybody I really wanted to vote for.  I could have voted Against proposition 29.  Randy Rhodes was on after two and all day they have been doing some fairly decent updates from Madison.  It seems that Fox News has their own security force.  They are a paranoid bunch.  Someone joked “I guess Sean Hannity was afraid all the women were going to attack him but I have news for you - - they don’t want You!”  Voter turn out has been phononally high at 42% as of a couple hours ago and now they are predicting voter turn-out into the eighties, which approaches European participation.  Those who want Scott to go are serious.  Of course the guy will still be indicted even if the recall fails, so it’s a mute point.  Apparently the democrats need only one more to turn the balance in the Wisconsin state senate and it looks like four will win.  Finding about Proposition 29 may not happen this evening or perhaps maybe nine or ten.  Accronis is going to do its thing in a few minutes and I guess I won’t be taxing the computer.

Last night I drowsed through Jeopardy but was more alert during Wheel of Fortune.  But at eight FOX crapped out on us because neither Bones nor House were on.  But we did watch Chef Ramsee and Hell’s Kitchen.  But that show is like some kind of “exhibition” rather than a real cooking contest.  At nine we watched Law and Order SVU on KCOP.  That teenage girl was a real psycho, or more properly a true sociopath, just like a tea bagger or certain Born Again Christians.  There is absolutely no empathy or understand of her fellow man.  When these people are caught in a crime they think they did absolutely nothing wrong but turn and blame the accuser, just like George Zimmerman and Sean Hannity.  I went to bed at ten.  Now some day some doctor says we are drinking too much bottled water.  I’ll give a big ten – four to that.

I got up a few minutes after five as it was just getting light out the window.  I had Bill Press on and ran last night’s grounds through again and actually added a remaining spoon and a half from the can.  It’s finished now.  It was Stephanie Miller at six.  I smoked my last cigarette at 5:20 or so and bought two from Gloria for the only 35 cents I had on me.  I did very little borrowing throughout the rest of the day before Money Draw.  I did borrow Donald one and paid him back three at dinner for that one and two others.  I owe Keith a couple.  Keith actually lent me two before lunch even though he said he was low so I want to be sure and pay him back.  We had lumpy oatmeal for breakfast and after a protracted wait it was a big pancake and under cooked sausage that Marcia complained about.  The Oriental lady gave me her sausage.  At nine I prepared the laundry for delivery to Denise and made out a fresh list.  Then after a bit of KTLK basically I had Ed Schultz on computer must of the morning, but not all of it.  I think you’re caught up to date now.  Now there is a wrestling between a woman and a twelve year old.  Of course now they will put any Video up on You Tube.   After a cigarette break after five and accronis has their notice up.  It’s true.  They will run the top two candidate vote getters even if they are from the same party – like two tea baggers.  Larry paid me back the four cigarettes he owed me at dinner   Bill found out that the Kings won game three last night 4 to nothing, apparently.  I had it on KNX news just before seven to confirm this.  Voter turn-out is low here in California.  I know how they feel.  I guess I’ll put on coffee.


Epilog:  The story about this photo is that this is the "old table" "pre ME".  And ME does not stand for medical examiner, except perhaps in Rose's case.  There "The fat lady has definitely sung".  One guy went away to a convelecent home over three months ago and the other two guys- the Black man and the guy with the hat (who is bald) remain as my table mates at present day.

Money Doesn't Talk; It Swears

"I can't help it - - if I'm lucky"

Elvis Di Mira

George Zimmerman could well still get out on bail.  ABC World News said this tonight.  This is despite blatently lying about his financial resourses making no mention of the "Mother lode" he has struck in the way of tapping into donations on his web site.  Zimmerman as far as I know is the classic Republican tea party sociopathic personality, which Thom Hartman says only mass murderers and ultra rich financiers posess.  Zimmerman is a man incapable of feeling normal guilt no matter how overt and blatent his lies and deception.  They say that Sean Hannity on his show after giving a big build-up pitch for Zimmerman raised sixty thousand alone in that one hour or so.  I would like to be able to raise that kind of money.  Hell, I'd like people to read my blogs.  I seemingly can't buy a reader.  You'd think just by accident more people would read my postings than they do.  But now they say that since George Zimmerman has gone back to jail that the money intake is only multiplied.  It seems if you're Evil enough you'll always get some mentally unbalanced person to enthusiastically support you.  This is why the most vicious murders on death row always seem to have all these marriage proposals.  Do you think the average person could get all these women throwing at them unless they were wither a celebrety or filthy rich?  So now there is again talk of posting a new bond and that Zimmerman again get out of jail and walking the streets a free man.  Some of these people are like Stephano Di Mira after all.  Look at the money that the tea party is pouring into Wisconsin.  They say that Scott Walker can use it for his defense fund even if he survives a recall, and there is no legal bar to his distributing the money to his friends for THEIR legal defences, and no indication that the tea party people who originally GAVE that money would object in the slightest to this.  Many people get their taxes slashed by people like Scott Walker and then turn around and USE that money to further the cause of looting it from hard working Americans of their pensions and health care.

People like ABC news might as well be organs of the right wing.  They keep talking about this recovery coming to a half and play all these clips of the President saying we're in a recovery and go "Look.  Here is proof our President is a liar".  But they will not expose Newt Romney's hypocracy in the same way.  We had ONE BAD REPORT in which Jobs still INCREASED.  We are STILL ADDING jobs, I'll have you know.  And the agragate over four years for ANY measure you care to use, be it corporate profits or stock prices or CEO salaries, or on the inverse side- Tax Rates- - or the number of people actually Employed in the Private Sector- - ANY measurement you care to use makes Obama look good.  But instead they point out that Republicans don't like the President promoting certain activities involving various female Celebreties.  They speak of the president's "unusual calm" under stress.  So maybe the wiring in his brain is different from us ordenary Mortals.  What can he possible know that we don't?  Meanwhile Romney's personal favorible rating only continues to rise.  And I have NEVER ONE TIME a poll where the President had ANY lead over Romney at all in ANY poll.  This can't be good.  Clearly Mitt Romney with all his narcicism and shallowness and lack of personal charisma- - still has the hearts of the American People.  Polsters say that any President with approval poll numbers as low as this President- - is in serious trouble.  Remember that the economy was the thing that toppled the first President Bush.  ABC just HAD to point THIS out.  He too had great victories over-seas, but in the end it couldn't save him.  The American people are like a teenager who doesn't have his head screwed on strait and one of those people of whom Dr. Phil would say "Due to his undeveloped frontal lobe, he is incapable of foreseeing the consequences of his own actions".

Lets talk about Inailable Rights.  Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1776 that Men were Born with Certain Inailiable Rights.  These were Life, Liberty and the Persuit of Happiness.  Liberty is of course Freedom and the world "Liberal" means "Freely" after all.  You DID know THAT didn't you.  Being inherently entitled to Life means prima facia that Christianity and the writings of St Paul and original sin and all that crap is not correct.  Man is not a "dead man on furlough" as Lenin and St Paul claim.  We have the RIGHT to claim that we ARE in fact Alive.  And in furtherance of our pursuit of happiness it may be infered that we have Rights to certain things that can't be put up for a vote- - ever.  For instance rights we have in the Bill of Rights and our rights to a fair trial and fourteenth amendment rights to equal protection.  And I believe that extends to Education, which as I recall is an extension of our Fourteenth Amendment rights to "equal protection".  We also have a contract with ourselves.  We ARE the government, so I wish the Right would realize that simple truth.  The government is NOT some "Outside, Alien force".  That's what THEY wish to impose on us by stripping away our civil rights as well as voting rights and also the right to an education.  In pursuit of the latter-  we ALL have an obligation to support public education as much as we have to support public police and fire departments and other areas of government such as safety and sanitation- - which is part of our public contract.  To say "I choose not to participate' is not an option.  You are cheating little kids if you say "I'm sending my kids to a private school so I don't care about you".  I once believed this line of reasoning myself, but it is wrong.  We owe it to society to educate our Young, and Thomas Jefferson agreed and indeed being properly Educated was part and parcel of growing up to be a responsible adult.  But the tea party doesn't care.  It seems the average Private school is actually Inferior in education with LOWER Standards for teachers than the Public schools have.  So is it any wonder that tea party kids "Have a lot to learn - - about a lot of things" as Captain Kirk once said about a troublesome alien they encountered.  They "don't know their shit".  They think thinking is something only done by liberals and egg heads like Stevenson.  So there.  I've said my piece on this.

Certain idomatic expressions are not accidental.  Often even myths or "enlightenments" are based on some physical image such as a Chinese pictogram.  Have you people thought about how we employ words such as the word "Time" and the word "Space"?  Have you ever noticed that when radio stations give you a slot on their program line-up they don't speak of "renting" Time but rather of Selling - - Time.  Why don't they say renting time?  Because once you've used that time- - it's Gone.  In other words that particular slot is yours for all Time and it will Never be anybody else's.  Marcus Blackwell used to talk about "He who steals my time steals from Me".  Now think of the word - Space.  In the following paragraph we think of space as distance from - - goals.  However space can be used in another context.  There is that Bible verse I wish I could fine that says "I gave you Space - - to repent".  Not Time, but Space.  Why use that word?  Have you people thought of another Kind of space rather than geographic distance?  We have spoken such as a thing called Karmic - - Space.  It's "room to live" or "room to oppeerate' or manouver.  People can share space with others just as they can share Time with others.  How many times has a Professor or friend or perhaps therapist said to you "Where are you now?  You're some place else?" or people will will say "You're not in the moment".  What do they mean?  They thought you contracted with them to Share your - - Time with them.  Like maybe an appointment with a call girl or something.  "You've got one half hour' or whatever.  People on a football team "share their corporate space" with each other.  Both in chess and in football you have two basic entities or Egoes competing with each other for "control of the board".  But in football eleven people corporately agree to work as a cohesive unit all with the same goal in mind- - hopefully.  In karmic space- -  or in the fourth amendment we don't want others "invading our space".  Space- - is actually more of a psychic thing rather than a physical or geographic thing.  It's not necessarily anything you can draw on a map, but all the same you know when it's been violated.  Just as you OWN the time on a radio slot, so that karmic space in the psychic realm is YOUR - - space.  You may share it at will.  Remember our analogy about- - they had it on a quiz show in fact - - the statement "It is a violation of the laws of physics to talk about time travel in this four dimensional world.  One reason is that you don't have as it were the Space- - to manouver a row of square blocks in a different sequence without pulling the blocks out of line- - and if you do this you violate singular dimensionality.  Randy Rhodes pointed out my "pancake" axiom today.  The said that Facts- - are not things that have two sides to them.  There is a unique "singularity" about them, if you will.  To pretend that it's otherwise is folly.  (Selah)

It's funny that so FEW people are concerned about the Ethics or Science or whatever of the things that really MATTER in life.  To a color blind person were he to look at two squares of identical shade of gray would say "these are identical.  There is absolutely no difference".  It wouldn't matter how sensitive his monochrome vision was- this would be unable to save him to do an important perceptual lack.  I suggest it is this way both with tea party Romney supporters as well as Born Again Christians. I would now like to at this time hit the whole "space" thing in an entirely new way to perhaps make it clearer for you all- - and clear up the mental fog you may be experiancing.  In the Physical world- - - if we believe the Determinists out there- - things like space and shape and content and energy can be said to be things physically measurable.  But how do you for instance "put a Second in a test tube".  Time is a perceptual thing with us.  We KNOW it exists or at least we THINK we do.  But like the color blind person sees absolutely no difference between vivid shades of Red and Green, so the "time challenged" physical only non human entity out there (somewhere)  sees no difference  what so ever between Last week and Next Year and One Billion years ago.  Each one's existance is JUST as Valid and True as the other.  Each is equally provable.  You can't "travel" in time for one reason because 'You are already either There or NOT There.  You are one or the other and the whole IDEA of "Travel" implies the idea of Time being USED to GET somewhere and since you are either ARE or AREN'T there to begin with to a "time perception challenged" person, talk of such "travel" is a meaningless exercise.  It's like that AC DC song "She told me to Come but I was Already There".  We have spoken of ethical blindness in the case of the sociopath.  To him appeals to Morality are completely Pointless because he doesn't perceive it.  We have spoken likewise with color differences.  So it is here with Time.  Let's do one more for you - - Space.  Space is that OTHER thing that - - - someone- - oh perhaps some outside God or Being would say of it "Well- - Space doesn't necessarily have to exist, you know."  Now lets' go to hyperbolic space.  Hyperbolic space has geometric theory behind it with sine and cosine and of course the all important hyperbola (no that isn't a female sexual organ)  but in Practice, the whole hyperbolic dimension HAS no "geometry" as we understand it.  Think about it.  Each person sees as his own world his own psychic wavelength (only a metaphore) of God's creation or "Image".  We know that a point has no space.  Since points have no space, they can't even "conceive' of space.  So, "space is pointless" or if you will "points are spaceless".  So how do they relate with no "space"?  Well it's like God and Time.  So you "fail to perceive something".  I think there are Stevie Wonder songs about nature and yet he has never seen it.  But he has no problem admitting it's there.  (perhaps not a perfect metaphore)  One time the asshole from El Paso gave a sermon called "Coin of the Realm".  We live in a world where space is the "coin of the realm".  Not time because we can't control that.  But in a realm where Time is the coin of the world,or more exactly - - "oppertunity" or "tries" or "chances" are the coin of the realm- - this is the thing we use our trigonometry for - - and not space.  Just as we Know there are other "times" than ours and Stevie Wonder knows the colors green and blue really exist- - and a person who can't read will admit that "evidence suggest this whole printed word thing is not just some myth or roomer started by someone" so it is that people separated in our eyes by Space - -are NOT separated by said Space in other realms.  Like in a time shutter exposure- - what you see in the photograph IS the real image or "What's there" as far as the camera is concerned.  What it captured in its eyes IS reality.  So in the psychic realm - - they don't SEE the separation.  Some of you may wonder about "out of body remote viewing".  This is not our topic today but I'll just say that - - this would entail some necessary ad-mixture of the physical and karmic realms. Just give me time and I'll figure out the mechanics, but not today!  But in the psychic realm - - - They view "measurable distance" as I say in terms of "samples' and "incidents" and "chances" and "experiance ordenals".  Some are inclined to think of radio and ether waves and "psychic wave lengths".  While this is a popular metaphor it's off the Mark.  Walter Martin said once Jesus didn't "Walk through walls' after he was raised from the dead he merely 'switched dimensions on them".  It's kind of a mind blowing concept.    While there is no "space' as we know it- - certainly you can have as many "points" as you want.  One might say that computer graphics opperates in this matter.  But once again the necessity of "traveling" between points- - is an unknown conception to them.  I think they may have their own "psychic profelaxis" or psychic protection from unwanted things.  I'd guess.

Somewhere In Chicago

I guess people today don't exercise enough independant thinking, a quality people like Thomas Jefferson used to admire about America.  The Tea Party loves to quote people but not Presidents all that often, if you have noticed.  For instance did you know Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson. Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt, four very different men- - all did agree upon one thing and that was that the United States supreme court had too much power, pure and simple.  So it's pointless for the tea party on one hand to say "The High Court has too much power" and at the same time say to people behind out backs "Just wait till WE are in power and start appointing Our people to the High Bench - - Then you'll start to see some real action".  That's what's got us all shared shitless here on the left.  These for presidents, each one of them, made really scathing observations about the High Court we've covered before and you might want to check Thom Hartman's web site out on this.  I'm sure he has a lot more material on the matter and can make the argument for a Court of vastly reduced power better than I could ever make it.  Someone else with too much power is probably this main stream "Corporate Media".  For instance have you noticed that David Gregory is not the sort of hard hitting critic that Timothy Russert was when he was chief interviewer in chief on that program.  First of all all of these mainstream media news shows have alltogether too many people on the Right on, as opposed to people on Out Side.  Perhaps you noticed that.  Then what they say is not even questioned.  The host is willing to let them rattle off numbers without questioning them.  Case in point is someone on Meet the Press saying yesterday that "Massachesutts used to be 51st state in job creation before Mitt Romney was governor but Mitt Romney brought Massachusetts all the way to thirtieth in job creation.  In the first place "being number thirty" out of fifty states is nothing to brag about.  This from the "smartest man in America".  But in the second place it's just not true.  Governor Mitten's predecessor in Massachusetts was number 35th in job creation in the state.  When Mittens took over he dropped Massachusetts to number 47.  So how is this an improvement over four years by Anybody's reckening?  Then you have the case in Ohio where a republican was bragging the employment market was much better in that state now.  But the obvious fact is there are a lot of car producers in Ohio and the President bailed out the auto industry, so a lot of varied industry such as steel and rubber and glass or whatever benefited from that.  And now on the Ed Schultz show they are talking about Scott Walker is afraid maybe he'll lose tomorrow so he is recessitating charges of "Voter fraud" by the liberals and that's why they need to do these voter roll "purges".  And yet nation wide maybe there are 85 cases in the whole country who were even charged, and fewer convicted.  Many voters in this number were either "lost" or "confused' as to where to Vote.  What's a sad comentary about this is that anybody watching can Google for the correct figures any time they want to now in the comfort of their own homes without driving to the local library and looking bleary eyed through countless card cataloges to isolate just the topic they want.  Newt Gingrich in an old interview after the South Carolina debate, which he won, was saying 'I've discovered the important truth that hard work and a work ethic in the young is good for building character and good for America" as those in the left did not believe this.  Nobody is a bit happy on our side about more people being on food stamps now than ever before.

This second topic we're discussing today is something I held over from yesterday that I had been thinking about doing - - but decided that it should be a topic unto itself.  It has to do with Love and Friendship and Trust and "Learning more in the pool hall than you did in the classroom" to quote a song by Queen's drummer in 1976.  For instance in sex education a lot of us didn't get it all in one place.  We got a lot of it from personal physical experiance for sure.  Where you get the answers to questions like "How to they Like it" and we get it from school mates, and from the media and books and parents.  One place that's almost useless for "The facts of life" is your garden variety sex education class, at least the way they did it when I was in school.  Often people stand in as surrogates for other people and things.  No I'm not talking about private sex therapy sessions.  I mean stuff like the claim of Jesus Christ when one desciple at the Last Supper said "Show us the Father" and Jesus responded "You mean you people have been with me all this time and you don't know?  He who has seen me has seen the father".  Unfortunately some people get quotes about as reliable as the tea party which is the Answer after about fifteen times removed after a game of "telephone" and ad-mixed with other information and some mutant hybred results kind of like the "Veeger" sattalite in that Star Trek movie where the Truth gets turned around almost a hundred and eighty degrees.  You people may notice that when I refer to Mark Campbell there is at no time any divergence between Mark's views and those of Jim Morrison, and if there are, these are things an insider might come to know personally that aren't in any books.  Many said of Jesus desciples they were so "changed" and "transformed" that they deduced that they had "been with someone great".   A few people exhibit such a Positive energy when you're around them you want to soak it up like a sponge.  For instance Wolfman Jack.   He was interviewed by Mark Germain or something shortly before he died and I kept thinking 'Mark Germain doesn't deserve to be in the same room with Wolfman Jack even breathing the same oxygen".  There was Mike Gerrero's old roommate Peter- - who was always fascenating to learn from and exhibited a lot of Positive energy any time he was around.  Strangely a lot of the staff around here didn't like him and eventually barred him from visiting.  Then we have Sandy, who was Mike's girlfriend.  I wouldn't mind moving in with here.  She was positively "stimulating' to be around.  (Like KFI)  It's a rare breed of person who comes here that actually has their head screwed on straight, who knows "stuff".  But she was one of them.  Dana was most certainly another one.  I even learned new ways to criticize Christianity from listening to Dana talk.  He's the guy who "got me into the coffee business" you know.  He was a guy who overcame amazing odds and always makes the best of every situation.  Marsha M is another such person.  But there aren't many of them.

People talk about mystic connections with people.  Of course sometimes the Hollywood community gets a little weirded out with these new terms such as "Man crush' and "man boobs" and "Metro-sexual".  I'm still unclear what that is.  Sometimes the sexual line can get a little blurred.  Both Zachery as a little boy and Brian Jones were "pretty" with amazing blue eyes.  Valerie Shoffner on the other hand was tall, and vary un feminine in build and her eyes are so un noteworthy I couldn't even tell you what color they were.  She was obviously German with a last name Schnoffner.  She wore long straight hair that she never styled.  She wasn't that pretty in the face.  She had kind of "spidery" hands and fingers.  Sometimes the way she talked about sex I felt I was listening to a man.  It's like that Bob Dylan song 'Jet Pilot" where "She keep   all the bombideers on their toes- - - but you got to watch her because - - she's not a woman; she's a man.  She has a rather un feminine figure reminding me of that crack Granny of the BH made about another woman once.  This other woman said "I'll have you know I have the sort of figure any man would want' and Granny whispers under her breath "Too bad a man didn't get it".  She and me spoke the same language though - - KOS rock and roll.  One time she said if I ever came to Las Vegas and decided to get in a card game she would 'Show me a thing or two" and I got the definite impression she would show me "little things to know' you don't necessarily read in books".   So there's your Brian Jones.  We have Nicholas and the Dorian connection.  Dorian is an obscure, almost fictional character from my youth - - the whole "Vancouver connection".  Sometimes knowing about a person's proclivity from a previous life will help you "Understand where they are coming from".  For instance me and a bunch of teenagers were horsing around in the pool (I"m still allowed to use that term aren't I?) and we were setting up some of energy swerl vortex as part of some physics experiment and the water got very turbulant and Nicholas went crying to his mother saying "All of them are trying to drown me".  I didn't feel a bit good about hearing that.  I thought Nicholas knew me better than that, and ditto for Clint, too.  But then I remembered that Dorian as a six year old met his death by drowning in the ocean in a previous life- - and it made sense something just might have been triggered.   Sometimes you and a friend may "not be as close as you used to be" because various things are driving you apart.  In the case of Jim Cooper it was politics.  And yet Jim and I had an unspoken Understanding that there were certain lines we would not cross.  And if either of us were being wronged by a third party, the other would step in and come to their Aid.  Unfortunately this simple principle of friendship is NOT true about my own family.  Their actions could be better summed up by the Dylan lyrics, "When I was down you just stood their grinning".  And then we have Clint and the whole "sexual tension thing".  Again there are "lines" about values and judgements about the other we mutually won't cross.  And in the case of Jim, since we at one time both shared the same body in a previous incarnation - - attacking the other person would be like attacking part of ourselves.  I've read Percilla's book on Elvis- - and some things Pricilla and others say about Elvis may be - - puzzling to some people or "contradictory to other stuff they've heard" and yet I know Immediately JUST what they are referring to because "through Jim" I knew Elvis.

Tomorrow is the June Primary both in Wisconsin and in California.  We find out whether my own cigarette "Tax-mageddon" will arrive after tomorrow.  I will DEFINITELY have to cut back my cigarette consumption- - quite a bit because I WON"T be able to continue to guy cigarettes at the rate I have, on my current money allotment.  As to Wisconsin- - I guess we can all pray to Someone - - if we want to.  Because poll numbers indicate it's going go take some Supernatural Intervention to save our bacon on this one, because we all will never hear the end of it if Scott Walker remains in power.  If such an Overt and blatent sleaze-bag such as Scott Walker remains in power, there is no hope for any of us, as far as the future of government and politics goes in this country.
