kind of a quiet night, the light so beautiful today, I overslept for work the Sunday morning of the great leap forward, so easy to re-set an alarm clock, biological clocks not so easy.

How to speak of the dead, either
not to mention them if they left a chindi or speak their name and bless them if they did o
after I.B. singer (blessed be his memory}
wizards
Clay too {blessed be his memory}
beautiful march spring day
sunshine and a sea breeze
outside with my little thaumaturgiical thinkpad
a bee crawls around on the table
batteries are so miraculous, mundane miracles of plastic and rare earth minerals, and Mr. Peabody's coal train hauls the earth away, a small price to pay for such a thing as this compulsive typing of mine.

In different cultures how to speak of the dead,
either
not to mention them if they left a chindi or speak their name and bless them if they did not.

Wars are made to make money for whoever is interested in starting them, notice how we have had dozens of wars this century and no borders have changed at all, yet the war machine providers are running our food supply, are running our countries and our economies. American companies and banks supplied money and machines to Hitler and no history event is ever going to change those facts. Millions died for what!!! So the Jpmorgans and other families make billions off those deaths!! Sad world we have

'no borders have changed at all' - Well, read something about my country. We actually didn't exist as a country before 20th century and we changed our borders and forms of government 5 or 6 times during last century. ) Greetings from the Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia, Czech and Slovak Federation, Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, Reichsprotektorat Böhmen und Mähren and Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. ) But anyway, you are quite right. ;o)

thanks steve, I think you might like this too, I sure did.
Life takers Vietnam dreaming again ice in shadows on mountain roads and fear, after he told me about the mean drunk he shot in the alley behind the bar he looked at me , studied my face for expressions of judgment or revulsion, I felt I had to say something, I said— "If it was me I would stay out of bars and away from mean drunks.", I was thinking the killing was too easy the way he described it, almost just a reflex, so if he wanted to kill again he could just go to some bar and troll for mean drunks...
Our country needs our veterans, we even need their PTSD
won't be long before all the Vietnam Vets are gone the way of the dodo birds,
The difference between just looking and actually "seeing".
