I told in comments I found a tool box in the woods, now that the leaves have fallen.

Technically it is a fishing tackle box, but whatever. Here it is.

1)In order to be “cured” of lung cancer – that is, to restore to health- one must actually have lung cancer. By reducing one’s risk of getting lung cancer by not smoking, you are reducing the chance that you will ever be cured of it.

2)By not smoking, you are reducing the chance that you will ever be cured.

3)By not taking your drugs, you are reducing the chance that you will ever be cured of your mental illness.

In my apartment on a large and tall  shelf,  I have five obsolete computers that run five monitors  in colorful 2D Mandelbrot images. Using Fractint.

The news to me is that they came out with new 3D images here. http://www.skytopia.com/project/fractal/mandelbulb.html

I’m doing Okay I think…

On the internet, reading of the religious who think the world is only 5,000 years old, and think it demeaning to be related to the other animals. Yet we breath the same air and eat the same foods, and produce feces just like all animals do.

Did God create robots with emotions, or monkeys who are really smart?

Damn those pesky emotions and feelings…

The leaves of fall have fallen…

If you are waiting for the bus, wait inside a shelter if possible.

Why?

Not only does it protect you from the weather , it might protect you from the crazy drivers.

(I think) This very thick plexiglass window was struck by a piece of metal that fell off a passing vehicle.

I found a chunk of metal in the road about five pounds in weight, nearby to the broken shelter window.

I threw it out before realizing it was the cause of the glass breaking. I should have placed it on top of the pile of broken glass.

Red letter day

I took the electric bike (latest rebuild from Sept 2009) out for a run and it worked well.

I went for 3 Km, my back tire was seriously under inflated so I didn’t want to continue under those conditions.

I had to wait to test it until after the court date as I tend to have bad luck, and you don’t temp fate unless you have to.

I don’t know what this means. I have to recharge the batteries now.

note motor is slightly hot. I could smell it in the apartment afterwards , but it’s not too hot to the touch.

I’m going to add a speedometer to accurately measure the distance it travels.

Speed is typical biking speed under pedal power.

Springtime In Vienna lyrics by The Tragically Hip

Instructions from the manual could not have been much more plain
The blues are still required , The blues are still required again
Past territorial piss-posts, past whispers in the closets
Past screaming from the roof tops
We live to survive our paradoxes
We’ll live to survive our paradoxes, We live to survive our paradoxes

Men here of the secret they pass in upholstered silence
They only exist in crisis , they only exist in silence
Past territorial piss-posts, past whispers in the closets
Past screaming from the roof tops
We live to survive our paradoxes
We’ll live to survive our paradoxes, We live to survive our paradoxes

Very sad find this morning, very sad that no one carved these pumpkins. No one dried-cooked and ate the seeds or made pie from them.

Remember the squirrel post I made about the one I found half dead , yet still alive? No one buried him/her. The squirrel is still there.

And lastly I wonder about this next phenomenon. Tree leaf blight.

Like a canary in a coal mine giving warning of the bad air, is this sick tree a with mold on its leaves a warning sign of some sort? How rare-common is this over the history of time?

The Court Showing was Today!!!
I made it!
I hope I don’t have an Ativan addiction now.
I took it for the stress.

I had a fool for a client, as I was my own lawyer.

I think it went well, but I will find out in time when the Judge decides the judgement .

I was waiting for this court date for justice, for something like two years.

What do I do now?

LOL
