I'd been bragging to some Bible studies teacher of food ethics about my FNB connections, so it was fortuitous to have an opportunity to reinforce those ties. Jay's bike had been ripped from a private stairwell by some bold theft artist, and so he phoned me as he arrived at OTY on foot, hoping to meet up with TA who had vegan chili.
Well, the long and the short of it is I hauled the day's vegetables from point A to point B, got to be the hero at some level in the Global Matrix. I got some good body core sweat goin' meaning a definite calorie burn, especially when coming back, fully loaded, and up some fairly steep inclines. It'd be interesting to know how many joules that was. My Razr showed my I'd turned the wrong way at Williams and Tillamook (I was rusty, I admit).
Trevor was by today with some excess assets. Yes, RAW's anthology of conspiracies, entitled Everything is Under Control. Indeed that entry under GRUNCH was to my page, as archive.org will disclose. Some say one of the more successful conspiracies but I'm not really in a position to judge, being in the thick of it and all.
Given a canine is moving in, and an ET, we set it up to have Sarah-the-dog encounter her housemate-to-be on a walk. No turf to defend, a public space (in front of Laurie's). Then she came home with us, with both humans clearly OK with it. This was supposed to set the right tone. Dog psychology ya know.
Given Pirate Party links, quite unofficial given my US citizenship, it's maybe not surprising I've been waving the Swedish flag a lot. I was telling poor Paul Tanner on math-teach that no matter how right Paul Krugman might be on the macro economics, USAers were just not smart enough to surge in their own interests, prove me wrong why don'tcha. They confuse democracy with just voting (if even that), as if that were the limit of their responsibilities. Then today I was like viva Sweden and Finland, compared to the sorrowful goliath.
To a physics list:
Civilizations making it past various thresholds enter an era where the planetary biosphere becomes of concern. It's not just warming we have to think about, but radiotoxins and out of the cloud mad scientist experiments such as the ones conducted recently by so-called "cold warring" goliaths and their idiot advisers. They messed with the Van Allen belts.
As humans, we are aware of no precedent (legal or otherwise) for the current chapter i.e. as we awaken to our biospheric responsibilities, and eye Mars as a possible habitat, at least in science fiction, and as we think about colonizing the under-ocean ecosystem somewhat more, we have no ancestral role models other than we have many examples of ecosystems becoming untenable.
We know we might mess up.I hope to be available to out-of-towners during Apachecon, then have to high tail it to Philadelphia for the annual meeting.
