Knee-Jerks (Put The Hammer Away, Doc!)
Last cry on the Shiavo case -- Leave the poor woman alone! Let her go in peace! Amen!
Sheesh!!
The lilac bushes are coyly offering lil green tips now. Good ol Rocky Mountain high! We got it in Wyoming too. Spring, spring spring spring. This is by far my bestest time. Born in April, see. Break out in song!
Been reading a whole slew of Rob Sawyer's Human series. All in one gulp. Nice premises -- Nice yarns. Still makes me almost sure that the reason for all the misery and war and agony with us homo saps is because of an inherent inferiority complex and insecurity issues. This compels to grab and cling to all the material gains we can get. Can't have too much, oh no, sir. OH, Robert Sawyer. He writes science fiction. Pretty good at it. You'll find his stuff in the library, and just recently he's nailed down some pretty impressive awards. I'm not specific now because I can't look it up and write this too. Google him. He's got a website!
If I had money, I'd look into the medical and drug stocks. New stuff on horizon in the medical fields is gonna make those things look awfully lush and happy. Go, and enjoy you peops who can afford it!!
Also another guy to pick on is Http://posthumanblues.Blogspot.com. MacTonnies is the one who got me blogging in the first place, and he's got a ton of good stuff to explore!
Like I said, bits and pieces today. Sorry. Gotta do the laundry that's piling up, so its amazing what all is drifting around. Going to tackle The DiVinci Code next, thanks to my library card. Ummmm, libraries and computers. Can't beat either one.
Prosit!

Thought for the week
Nanotubes and Buckyballs! Look those critters up and prepare to be intregued. The Enterprise Mission is getting better and better all the time. I feel a nice lil story coming on. Hmmm. Dare I outline?? talk about exolife from the viewpoint of a young xenobiologist, who finds herself in space and has adventures on the tone of Lancelot Biggs, Spaceman. I love the idea of buckyballs anyway.
Will the xeno's be present or past tense?? We'll see. That's what's great about being
a writer like I am --- keep it loose and let the lil man in my seat write while I watch. Lots of times, I don't know where it's going until it does.
The Earth's been wobbling in and out and the magnetic North is now in Northern Canada. Yes, they (scientists) have been tracking like crazy. Look up polar tilt and you can find their notes.
Gotta clean out my freezer. Made some "Whatchagot stew" and got cocky. Never have poisoned myself before, but --- A bit old, some of the meat was. Out it goes. God bless Garbage Disposals. Had a nice hilarious bout of purging in my own personal Garbage disposal. Well, that's the spring tonic I've been thinking of having.
But I'm better now. Having nice, juicy spring snows in this area. Dare I hope for green grass this spring? OH please!
Pass the buckyballs.

killer_tomatox
Ahhh, killer tomato? Interesting turn of events on this lil feller. Makes your mouth water doesn't it. Yummy
poiciy and susy
Can you understand: Now our Goverment will tell us that UFO's are no threat to us, and there are no extraterrestrials, but do you know there's a law on the books about extraterrestrial exposure, and if you contact a UFO or terrestrial, you are in violation of law punishable by fine and imprisonment?? hmmm

thppft
Soon, time to be wearin' the Green. Yes, in spite of a married name, I am one/quarter Irish. O well, Skydiving. If at first you don't succeed, it's not the sport for you. -- observation -- Potty on those who use the English Language as a smokescreen. Life is uncertain enough without deliberate obsfucations. Is it just me or do we have a lot more raven-crows these days? Countdown: 8 more days til Spring? You can make a lovely color of brown if you mix red and green together. Add white for taupe.

janiemums in profusion
There y go!! Wow. Had to freeze up my puter to turn this over right but that's okay. I'm not bullied by my puter. This is a reminder that it's coming, the season of growing. Yippee. Another season! Bless 'em all, you never'll know which comet, asteroid, mega-volcano, will do the nasty all over us. But those are pretty, huh.
Karen explode puter
Ahh, today is take out the garbage day. Which I will. Yuck. Shlep it down three flights, no elevator, dears, and tosso. While I'm at it-- Parallel universes. Sposed to be 11. 10 kingdoms and then one more slightly different, I guess. Anyway there's a story out in paperback and TV about ten kingdoms, and it's good stuff. It explains it very well. Anywhoo, I think that's where all the junk goes from Black Holes, it Big Bangs out somewhere else. My reasoning?? you can't get rid of matter. It goes somewhere. Celestial landfills for one dimension just may be Black Holes and poof! there it is in the other, whichever one may be lucky. Another theory I had is the one of the hangers mating into paper clips, or vise-versa. Clips into hangers. Yeah, that explains the snarly pile in your closet.

fossilpede
Here's my favorite pinup. Ain't it ravishing? A real honey, this lil thing. And all those lil cute marble-like things that strew the landscape. What a planet.
Quick, before the Month Marches away --
About time for serious sunscreen. Those of you who ski are exempt, you should sunscreen all the time. Ditto for those who spend gobs of time outdoors. I should. I don't. I have redheaded genes and boy, the sun (!) Yikes. The tug of war commences yet in the Middle East. You'd think these people would get tired of blood running in their streets. I know we all love color, and its fairly drab over there, sand beige being the predominant color scheme, but GEE!
Wanted to bring ol Fossilpede in here but I haven't go that wrinkle figgered out yet.

Ahuh, really?
It seems by the spate of news -- that the old nemensis, LSD and other similar drugs may after prove to be useful in medicine to alleviate terminal end cancer and those who are alcohol abusers. After years of non-study because of their bad name with experimenters, again work is being done with these drugs to see if they are indeed worth developing. Well now. First, marijuana and now these hallucinogens. Better living indeed through chemistry.
Saw a cute idea on CoastToCoast -- the idea that a family of dinosaurs evolved into space going "grays" before us homo saps came of age. Dang, I wish I thought of it first! Would that explain the cattle mutilations?
The cat with the goalposts. How us sixty some old codgers feel about the progress of things. "Just when I get to the finish line, they move the goal posts." I think the expression says it all.
The exercise of kissing, deep kissing, is exactly that, exercise, involving many parts of the body interior, eyes, nose, adrenal glands, sex organs, stomach, pancreas, skin, circulatory system, heart and lungs. Wha-hoo?? Yes, dear, this granny is still kissing, thanks to my sweet boyfriend. It took me (sadly!) this long to realize the extent and amazing confluence of this activity.
P.S. endrophins and dopamine!
Did they ever get around to measuring how far our poles are tilting? More stuff to look up. Stay tuned.

crosseyed zombie with blood on face
Perhaps maybe the morning paper blew up in your face with the news of latest disaster --- COFFEE!!!!
Been thinking again. Yow!
Poor tired people at NASA-JPL, following the rovers. Now they are telling us "Hey we didn't say there's Life on Mars!!!" and they're right. No hard conclusive science yet. I feel sorry for 'em sometimes, but hey, you gotta have the fun speculating, and we know there's no concrete proof yet, but its fun supposing.Its exhausting work, all this stuff on our neighboring planet, and credit should go to those doing the work.
Since I discovered science fiction at the age of 8 with 'Voyage Of The Space Beagle' by VanVogt, I have embraced (literally at a convention) Isaac Asimov, to StarTrek, to points beyond; Clarke, and just enjoyed the heck out of StarWars. I am, actually, at heart, pragmatic. I do realize one thing. We have to go. No choice. If we are to continue as a species, we gotta go.
We gotta choice? Oh tell me where?
I stopped believing in the mindless American Fable back in the 60's remember the 60's? Then is when I was brought up short in the fact that not all rich and powerful people are wise and good. The bottom line is truly power. Money is means to power, and we are an insecure species. That is our strength. To adapt, to change, to survive and often the most toys, wins. Great theory but not at the expense of our human tribe, people. Hold on! Inspect that tub before you throw the baby out with bathwater.
Too many good things have been tossed in that manner. It'd be wise to recycle.
We don't live in trees anymore, its not 'bombs away', without consequence. There is free will, and freedom, but there is also a limit. Your right to throw your arms about ends where my nose begins. Only in responsibility to others will we earn real freedom, and those who lose their 'lives' will find it. Republic is a state or nation in which all the citizens who vote have a voice in government. Now, here's where it gets cloudy. We all can vote, but we vote for an electorate. That one votes for the office. Our nation can be a republic, only if each and every voting citizen is willing to be responsible for the outcome. Actively responsible. Therein lies the rub.
We can't be free and lie about, pursuing selfish desires. We really have to earn them.
This is going to be an interesting year.;-}

You don't wanna know what it took to get this picture in. Let's just say I tried chewing gum, walking, and stumbled over the keyboard when I patted my head. Anyway, the plea is out, so onward to something else. I hear they are laughing at bloggers now on the Daily Show on Comedy Central. Hmm, looks like I joined just at the right time. They were complaining at how we have nothing to go on except facts. Umm.
To those who 'bust their ass' getting those facts to us via Blogs, KUDOS! Long may you operate, dig, and needle the powers-that-be. (Y'all know who you are)
Me, I will rattle cages at times, but just with my own 'fact' mill. Like I posted before, take us semi-seriously. I may be earnest, but often a bit mistaken. Feel free to sort me out, a bad comment is better than none! (Five million tantrum throwers can't be wrong)
Parting shot across the bow -- What is there about Social Security they aren't telling us? Trust me, there is something!
