Hi Everyone!   As you may know, Bruce has been teaching me alot about the internet and how things connect. So, I've decided to test what I've learned.   I am using our laptop offline to compose an email inside Brude's email program while he's sleeping behind me. I'm sending the email to the automated email address I got from Blogger. Anything I send to this specific email address gets

We rolled in just as the sun was about to disappear behind the mountains to the west.   We walked into the barn/kitchen area as some of the diners were making their way to the food table to roll for a lucky chance at seconds.

This is a great song and video explaining the Mandelbrot set. My inspiration for sharing this video is the concept that if only the smallest facet of this set is changed, the entire set reflects the difference immediately. And if that is true, the best thing we can do to heal everyone is to heal ourselves. This changes the pattern for everyone at an instant, and is reflected in every facet of

There are already millions of books in the world, what could I possibly write about that's not already out there?   First of all, I had to change my focus from thinking that way; it wasn't getting me anywhere.

Congress Nixed Outrageous Prison Terms for Crack Offenders, but the Decision Should Be Applied Retroactively. This is a huge step in reducing prison terms for many who were unfairly sentenced to harsher penalties than powder cocaine offenders. Crack and Powder cocaine are identical in their components, the delivery is the only difference.read more | digg story

I heard the most absurd furniture commercial on the radio today.The spokeswoman actually compared redesigning a room with getting married. She used the old "you have to live with your choice for a long time, and no one wants to make a mistake" line.Well, yes on the marriage part, but definitely NO on the furniture part.

By Gloria BaraquioHawaii Tribune HeraldSeptember 12, 2007When I first moved here, I thought marijuana was illegal. And then after living here a few years, I realized that everyone and their mom either smokes it, buys it, grows it, or sells it. So then I thought weed wasn't illegal. But then in the past few weeks, I've been hearing about these drug busts and house raids and farms getting shut down
