Blue Vista

Well, day three and I got the blue screen of death. Thanks MS for making nothing but the best product.

being helpful

There's a woman at work who is fearful of a class she will start on Monday ... I have some sheets for her to help her. Perhaps I'm an old man trying to get into Heaven.

dismissed oblivious

I am reading "The Language of God", and while it is bothersome the level to which he relies on C.S. Lewis, I find the present ongoing praise annoying. He yammers on and on about how monumental it is that there is just the right Oxygen and just the right Carbon to sustain life.

While humans are unique in our environment, perhaps the galaxy, universe and cosmos, we are not unique in being. Other things exist far beyond our wildest dreams or understanding ... wholly missed by the author. How about anaerobic bacteria that manage to move and replicate despite imeseasurable odds against pairings? Who's to credibly say or write that there are not existences and bodies that deny our physical understanding?

I'll try a bit more of the book, but it seems to me that someone touting their intellect but missing this "obvious" reality or potential is bar none -- stupid. God's existence is beyond understanding. I point out here that a fly, that has no brain, is capable of flying, avoiding danger, mating and eating and "knowing" the difference. A person is a damn bit more complex and ought to be able to do much more than mate, eat, and die. Humans rely on animals and plants, and they rely on animals and plants. God's work is shown ... despite being written, it is the missed obvious.

If I were to pull an MIB and view the expanding universe as merely a marble played with by a strange species larger than our system itself, then conversely, there are infinite universes within any thing -- an electron, therefore might very well be the universe or plant for the Whos, as defined by Seuss in "Horton Hears a Who", also made famous by "Grinch Who Stole Christmas".

I agree that it's beyond great that I exist and that it is bar-none, a strange circumstance that gravity is what it is, but life will exist in many forms, regardless whether others "predict" it or not. I got about four sentences of science that was interesting, but after 40 some pages, I'm losing hope that this book contains much science -- being fact, not faith. You can have both, but I don't think you can write about both effectively weaving them together.

May his visit to Hell be quick

This guy needs to burn in Dante's literary Hell.

Frankly anyone on the second tier or lower would be fine with me.

prayers please

My "pooh bear" uncle is in hospital. He's doing ok now after the gallstones removal. The esophogeal aneryism is the problem and there is no word from cousin Dave as to when they will deal with that -- he doesn't know. So if you have faith, and are willing to pray, please do for my uncle who needs love and hope. He's as affectionate and as lovable as Pooh Bear, so may love find him, through your voice or others.

Thanks!

Coming live from HP

Well, my iffy computer forced me to buy another computer. It is lighter but wider. It is pretty sweet and after a few little misses, I found out how to find networked computers, namely my old one, to transfer the several gig of pics and files that I want. The sad thing is, the network transfer rate is, well, slower than I would like. It will take some time. I cannot complain much, though the AC adapter seems "picky" and therefore worthy of fixing or replacing. I will get an $80 bugger when I can. I'll have to find out how much the repair on my old computer will be. It would be worth ... tops, $200.

What stinks?

I was driving and smelled the typical regions where I travel; paint from a company followed by pasture. The smell of pasture was stronger and fouler and I soon found out why ...

There was a dump truck in the right lane with its back filled high with stuff, like fertilizer or manure and, of course, two dead cows. It was an odd sight, as well as the curious shovel on the side of the dump truck. Something tells me that there were more tools and machinery used to moved the cows than a shovel. Either that or Paul Bunion had children.

all we ask for are weapons

"ex-insurgents" looking to help ... ha! I find that highly unlikely. Gosh! We sure would like some of them thar nifty weapons ya got there.

I did a good thing

I pushed someone to finish what she had to do to start her college courses. She came in last night to tell me that she registers next week. Despite my evils, bitterness toward work, general vileness, I did something good. I got someone to complete a task that she needed to do, for her own benefit. I didn't try to push her into going to college, but rather to take the steps to get there since she already had plans to attend.

I am still evil, mind you.

borrowed something from me

I don't believe he worked for the Red Cross at all. I think, rather, that he used the blood himself -- the creep.

Good book, not too bad of video

Where the Wild Things Are; animated.

Wild Thing anyone?

Why for you so stupid?

4Real? What the ...

New Zealand apparently has quacks just like the US with bad parents wishing to name their children bad names. If the government had the right, it should charge them, 4Real, a lot of money for harming their newborn.

If you know what "Dragon's Lair" was, then you might like this

It's 2-D and sketchy, but the same principle. Escape.

it seems to me these were missed by many followers

The Purpose of the Ascension
The Quran explaines the reason for taking Muhammad  on this miraculous journey as “to show him our signs.”
Some of the other purposes of the journey are as follows:
Declaration of the universality of Islam
o By leading the prophets
o By praying in Masjid al-Aqsa
Warning the Kuffar of the imminent punishment
The twelve commandments:
o Not to commit shirk
o Kindness to parents
o Respect others rights
o Avoid spend thriftiness
o Do not kill your children
o Do not commit adultery
o Do not kill
o Be kind to orphans
o Fulfill your promise
o Be fair in your dealings
o Do not be suspicious of others
o Do not be arrogant
Prelude to Hijrah
The obligatory five prayers

Huh. It seems to me that killing is what they do and killing their children is what they do and respecting others' rights isn't what they do. I guess they had a book with missing pages, right?

sad. I'm not keen on the breed, but the message is sound and clear

Required viewing for Vicks.

Pleze!

No speaky the Rappish. Are you wondering why impressionable people are gang-ho? I'm not. I believe Dante would have had an interesting section in hell for these people.

Stinky road home

This cute little critter (young skunk) was eating roadkill. It was one something at night so the lighting isn't good ... sue me!

A raccoon scurried under the bridge after my turn, so I didn't capture it on video, sadly.

It houses sex offenders. I guess this is a half-way house then. Just parents, beware.

Some one I've encountered ... now I know him better
