Only Moments Make Up a Life

August Moody here…. In moments we live and in every one there is truth But still, little do we know This life, be born in truth or spoof We must employ these moments to truly live and grow And this is all we have to share And in darkness we think we see ‘Tis little […]

Who’s Watching Us and Why?

I read the following in Paul Myers’ newsletter and had to share it TalkBiz News Issue for August 26, 2010 Today’s issue gets into some things I think everyone who uses computers or cell phones needs to consider. This is serious stuff, and it’s important. Feel free to share this with anyone you like, including […]

Leaving These Blues

Your daily lyrics: These Blues Lyrics by Jimmy Lafave There’s a new light above you Let it shine, let it shine Let your faith and your hope both renew Don’t fade from our sight Deep in the night Like a stranger on a lost avenue Hey, you’ve got to be leaving these blues Though your […]

And I Had to Fall in Love with You

by Moody Blues What mattered to me Was the right to be free Like I’ll be someday I’m waiting for my heart to lead the way The places I’ve seen And the road in between Make me wonder why I’m searching for my dreams up in the sky I heard the call And in the […]

Old Cars

It’s not that I’m worried or anything, or keep thinking about this stuff even though I deliberately changed my habits… Joy to Robbie: I think I asked you this before but I don’t remember. What is it exactly that they made electronic in car engines that would be affected by an EMP? I had a […]

Joining Families

I guess I can say I have another sister now. Well, she’s an in-law, but it’s pretty close. My brother Andrew married Andrea. They both have used the name Andy for years. It was interesting, with Hank not wearing his reading glasses and Andy dropping the ring. A good time was had by all. We […]

Economy of scale

Joy wrote: The BusinessWeek article “Yuan poised to become Reserve Currency, Goldman’s O’Neill Says” shows we have to watch out for China. It has the power to do whatever it wants. Robert Reynolds wrote: Laura and I talk about this problem frequently.  There just isn’t anything left for people to do in this country, except […]

Study: texture detail

You’ve heard that saying “I know it like the back of my hand”? I can’t relate. There are so many grooves and furrows and twists and turns that if I was a bug that had to cross that terrain, I would be lost for a long while. I think the texture and patterns are fascinating. […]

Swingset Chain

Gotta love those lyrics… Swingset Chain by Loquat There’s a playground that we used to run on The penny-drop that broke her arm The monkey bars that you fell from The swingset chain that stuck with my tongue It’s thirty below and we’re far gone If you plant yourself here I wouldn’t miss you for […]

Holes in the ground

A twenty year old pond is bound to have some problems. This one in Florida has been losing water and is full of slime. After catching what fish he could, Steve has stepped in to see what the matter is. He worked hard to get to the bottom of things. Just a little scrubbing will […]

Swimming Holes at Cuzamá

Sun comes out and so do we. Joy and I ventured out to visit ‘cenotes’. Off, by bus, to Cuzamá. Much of the road is one lane, a little tense when trucks or other buses come our way. Once in town and puttering along in a motor powered bike built for three, we are told […]

Uxmal Revisited

We had a good day back out at Uxmal, a ruin full of stone carvings. Many things I had missed before made it well worth the trouble plus Joy had not been there. Many structures there, seemed to be living spaces. Some rooms I would stick my camera in (dark) and shoot. I could hear […]
