What is in your cup? - Page 1499

The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’
You’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the eve
Of destruction.

It's remarkable that a song written in 1965 can still be so topical today...

Good morning, everyone! Sunday best to you all. I have East India Company's "Assam" tea to drink this morning, and a bowl of 'something' my wife made last night for dinner... sort of a pumpkin/onion/shitake mushroom and chicken stew. Pretty tasty, actually. It's a popular winter dish in Japan, and it certainly is winter. I'm sitting here wearing a hat and fingerless gloves... 3° outside and feels almost the same inside...

"I" accept them. Do 'you' accept them?

If it were me, I'd want to stop having to fast every other day as quickly as possible.

What folks don't seem to understand it that the world already ended. This is just the wind-down now.

The American Indians call it 'Koyaanisqatsi,' (which was a great movie, by the way) or Life out of Balance. The Hindus believe we are in 'Kali Yuga.' Same idea. Me? I say 'take a look around you.' The whole world is falling apart. Economically, emotionally, climatologically, militarily, legally... The Bible teaches us that God created the world in six days. Modern scholars understand this to mean six 'time periods,' not necessarily six 24-hour periods. What ever it was, it took 'time' to create. I think it's just taking that same time to finish...

... but there IS time for one more cup of tea.

Depending on what scale I use, I have lost 3-7 pounds. I really like my home scale but I think the Y scale is more accurate.

I'm playing Far Cry 3 at the moment. Instead of using cars to get around, I run everywhere. Does that count?

As long as you use the same scale each time, you can be pretty sure of the results. Same scale, same time of day, same day of week or month, same, same, same... I don't like to weigh myself after a big meal...

Of course it does... but then you have weigh yourself in cyberspace.

Water while I sit in Lucas' room listening to him protest sleep. Sounds exactly the same as when I put him to sleep on my shoulder. Figuring that out made this so much easier.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling
And friends are calling "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

No motorcycle riding today... White streets!

Good morning, everyone. A good day to go walking in a winter wonderland!
Ahmad's "English Breakfast" tea and a bowl of rice with crab and tsukemono for breakfast, then on with the scarf and gloves for a walk around the neighborhood. Maybe a good snowball fight too!
