Adventures without Cyberspace

As i began to plan for a few days out of town, my laptop decided it no longer wished to recognize the power cord. By the time i realized that i wasn't charging, i was down below 20% reserve. So I left the computer home and adventured into life untethered. I have now rediscovered why i do not watch television, especially newscasts. The amount of nonsense is compounded by the terror, terror, terrror push to keep us in fear. Let's just say no!

Imagine if everybody took the entire January of from all commerce. Of course, we cannot do that - we have to eat and pay rent and go places. Really? And when we fly we must remove our shoes. The system is already collapsed and we are just going thru the motions. Stopping now and giving up will allow everybody to reconfigure and start again, locally. Yes - i have quite the imagination...

So i have some big screen time rather than all little screens. Avatar in 3-D was worth the effort, Sherlock Holmes is on the docket for later today. It's time to create our own movies of the world - where we are all actors: the lead in our own movie and bit players in almost everybody else's movie. Everything can be captured on film - maybe the almighty has a projection source that when he finds something entertaining, he spins out a lot more of it. You cannot hide from yourself.

I am travelling for the time being and blogging will be sporatic. Dr. Lenny is looking to settle in a new location before spring planting season - we have lots of seeds of various squash type plants, plus some other good fodder. This summer should see a flurry of intentional activity at the community level - moreso if the economy gives up the ghost. Enjoy the New Year. (BTW, my treei 64 day year started the day after Xmas.)

Last item - happy birthday to anonymous!
