Pushing The Barrier - Planting Seeds

 I dedicate this photo to Nancy Whesley

OK I've written enough crap over the past couple of days that we can string it in to some sort of tollerable blog posting.  So we'll start with the breakfast report and go from there.  We had Raison Bran and mine was the smallest of the three bowls.  Finally after an ever so exasperated wait we got our fried eggs and toast and butter and jelly.  MEET THE PRESS featured Marco Rubio talking about the immigration bill and why he is for that one.  It’s because it would actually be easier for illegal minorities to leave the country and then re-enter and apply for legal citizenship.  This bill makes it a Longer fifteen year process rather than ten, so you “pay for the right to stay here those intervening years”.  In no way does Rubio consider this amnesty.  On the gun thing it’s a different story.  The philosophy here seems to be "Don't make a law prohibiting anything, because the Thieves will only disobey it anyhow. There is now this obsession both with Mario and with Matthews of “Registries’ where the government is “keeping all these secret files on us’ and any day will be able to come and conthiscate our guns, just like Nazi Germany did, or something.  The bobsy twin senators who are advocating for the Obama Bill, Toomie and Mansion, claim there are explicit prohibitions against any sort of "Registry" and that also veterans who Now may be Denied a firearm based on some financial insolvency, can expressly appeal to a Court and gain access to a firearm.  In terms of what I regard as the not so irrational fear of being “primaried” if a Republican actually tries to act reasonable- - it’s what I was telling people around here yesterday.  “The more the people get fed up with Congress and “government’ in general, the less they turn out to the polls to vote.  And this just makes it all the easier for a small group of special interests to dictate what happens at the polls”.  They are mopping the floor now.  Then they had another woman pro and man anti gun legislation.  They then interviewed Jackie Robinson’s widow.  The majority of this material they had already presented in news coverage.  I admire her greatly as one of our senior civil rights spokes-people.  There was no “round table” this week at all.

Yesterday afternoon I had Chris Matthews on computer earlier than usual and it was most informative about the intransigence of the Republicans on the gun legislation issue.  I tire of blogging about that because how long can you beat the same dead horse?  I didn’t post yesterday and might not post today if I don’t come up with something people don’t know.  I listened to the first long fourteen minute segment of Thursday’s show and went out for a cigarette before dinner.  Last night we had chicken pot pie for dinner and seconds began on our side so I got seconds on that.  We had some sort of pina collate ice cream like coconut or something everybody liked.  It was the usual ABC network news at five thirty and of course the Mc Laughlin group at 6:30.  Half of the show was dedicated to trashing the President’s proposed budget.  The way that Mc Laughlin headlined the thing you knew you were in for a biased show.  It was the usual four against Eleanor Clift line up.  You had the conservative brunet- and the die-hard economic doomster Mort Zuckerman, and Pat Buchannon on.  The other half of the show was split between our mistake of going into Iraq, and the manifold number of reasons why, and also the current North Korea situation, where John Mc Laughlin played Devil’s advocate in saying that “Well we’re in their backyard engaging inprovocative acts.  Why shouldn’t they be bellicose- - just like we were in the Cuban Missile Crisis protecting our own back yard”.  Of course the two situations have nothing in common.  There is still talk that Kim Jung Oom will launch a missile on Monday –Tax Day- which is also Kim Il Soon’s birthday.  The whole NC thing is becoming one loud, clanky annoyance.  Mideast troubles aren’t even on the radar screen now. 

This is Sunday April 14, 2013 and the anniversary according to the Federation of Abraham Lincoln’s assignation at Ford’s theater.  They messed with our calendar in 1900 which threw the Federation’s calculations off.  This is something I learned from "Jimbo" but I'd never call him that to his face.  It's one of the few actual dialog conversations we've had.  I have a lot of stuff to sort out and try to get down on paper today.  It’s still all overcast today and yesterday.  John Lennon said “As long as it remains overcast, it’s a good thing”.  We had pizza for lunch today with a green salad and ranch dressing and interesting soup.  We had orange slices for desert and Jay gave me his green salad, his orange slices, and his coffee with sugar and no cream.  Jay also let me have shorts before lunch.  The factoid of the day when Jay quoted me the V = IR formula.  I knew the formula but asked why they used I instead of the more logical A, and Jay said "The I is Inductance", and I said out of sheer joy "Oh to the head of the class".  (I remembered)  However last night first just after dinner he offers me a cigarette if I’ll come out and talk to him.  But two-odd hours later he wants the cigarette back. Even though it’s the final day of NBA basketball season there is no basketball on ABC but they and FOX have some women’s cosmetics stuff.  Go figure.  Anyhow I hadn’t smoked many cigarettes in the morning and grew tired of that and kind of asked Janet “can you see your way to lending me a dollar”.  I needn’t have sounded so plaintive.  She gave me the dollar and I went down and bought a pack of John Black grape, and of course now everybody wants one.  They don’t pay people enough around here and that makes the cigarette situation bad all week long.  [material was deleted here]  Leo talked about this women who wasn’t forthcoming with the true nature of her Word file problem and Leo had to guess.  There was talk about downloading You Tube videos- - and three different software packages you could buy which accomplish this.  Leo spoke of a password "vault" where you could store all your other passwords, but the password for the vault Leo makes it so indecipherable even You have trouble figuring it out. (?)  After all if a burglar seems the safe door cracked open, that's the first place he's going to look.  Once again Leo said how today’s televisions come with lousey speakers because they expect you to go out and invest in some 5.1 surround sound system.  Give me a break!  Nora was in here and wiped table, which was dirty from coffee grains and swabbed the mop around the spilled creamer on the floor.  I’m hoping to listen to Face the Nation.  I still have not run all the minutes off my old phone card but it’s probably too late now, and I need to locate where I wrote the numbers for the new card down.  Bald people are more prone to heart attacks, which figures since people like Grandpa and Dick Chaney are prone to heart problems.

Then we come to the Purity hour.  Two different shows had an identical plug for these berry flavored sub lingual tablets that dissolve and go straight into the blood stream, and are as good as receiving a shot, and less trouble.  Personally if I were running this establishment I’d dose everyone in here at breakfast.  B 12 is something is something everyone our age could use.  But the main substance they were plugging this half hour was Creatine- - which is a substance I thought only the body produced.  I remember from my blood test in early 1998 that my Creatine was high.  It was when I was taking the Formula IV.  And I vouch for the effects they were talking about on the radio today.  It’s the stamina and anti-fatigue drug.   It’s the spare battery that turns the A D P produced as a by-product of energy use of the brain, back to ATPyou’re your neurons have to be fifty percent A T P at the synapse connection points.  There was also a “coffee berry” or coffee bean component to this offer- with its anti oxidant properties.  We had a little drizzle this morning and I don’t mean of crème de-mint on our ice cream.  Wally likes this weather because he doesn’t have to water the plants as much.  Some Indiana lady gave the Republican Response on KNX, and of course it was all about taxes and spending.   You know damn well that she’s a liar when she says “how much this Obama will add to the national deficit”.   My response to her is that I have a government document saying this lady being allowed to remain alive and breathing air will add to the carbon footprint and global warming.   Then there was the ten minutes back in here with Cal-Mag, and the housekeeper was in here and he expressed interest in the curative properties of the product.  Then it was the krill and fish oil combo playing that smash hit “Salmon Enchanted Evening”.   OK, salmon oil has more of the Omega 3 component but the krill has more anti-oxidant action and Aztezanten - - which we learned previously is a relative of Vitamin A.  But you really need the two together.   The number is simple.  It’s 1-800 KRILLOIL, but though the bottle is three there is still the $4.50 shipping charge.  I was closer to ordering the stuff this morning than I’ve ever come.  I had KRTH on a while and then Melinda Lee.  She informed us that highly “reduced” balsamic vinegar can be dangerous to handle because it becomes like mapalm on your skin if it lands on you fresh from the burner.  And if you continue to “reduce” it, it becomes like candy.  Melinda Lee sweetens her corn bread, which is the way I personally prefer it.  She also spoke of the natural graininess of cream of potato soup, and how some people don’t like that. 

On Breakfast with the Beatles they had mellow songs of a cosmic nature involving heavenly bodies such as “Venus and Mars” and “The earth spins on its Axis” from “Driving Rain” and “Here Comes the Moon” and they began with “Run of the Mill” by GH.   Even later they only got into somewhat faster “mellow songs” including that home grown rendition in the studio of ‘Hey, you’ve got to hide your love away”.  They played the “Imagine Sessions” version of “Jealousy” and “Across the Universe” and later on, the un-faded version of “Hey, Bulldog”.   There is no law that states that other people besides me can't receive communacations from the dearly departed.

 Like I say I had various “visatations yesterday from John Lennon planning to do his own speech on gun legislation presumably inspired by that mother’s Saturday address.  John Lennon was at that conclave slash funeral thing the Federation held for several days last week.  He saw Stu there and was corgial to him, but they did not have any extended conversation.  John Lennon says that most Romulans still use these two-sided analog 89 millimeter CD’s.  Also John Lennon stated that people on Sirius A or a lot of places, for that matter, aren't nearly as tech savvy or advanced as we have become over the past thirty years and this idea of just "downloading a video" or "tweeting" your remarks is completely alien to them.  In this realm if you want a record you still have to go to a record store and buy it. John Lennon did an address that was edited down to 7:14 and also on this CD on side one was Aerosmith’s “Come Together” and that version of “Black” we did in mid 1998 (?) where I play bass, and there are three piano’s playing.  Richi Vallenz plays guitar but not lead guitar.  Maurice Capeta, known to CMK people, played the drums.  Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys sang, but Carl has a much better singing voice.  I'm not aware of a running time.  Picking a Pearl Jam song was symbolic because Pearl Jam traces its roots to Aldeberan IX, which was blown up almost 46 years ago.  There was also the opening part of Thursday’s show with the thing of Matthews edited down to 9:11 just to be cute again.  These four are side one of the record with side two consisting of “Run of the Mill” orig. rec. and then “Dogs” from the Pink Floyd.  John Lennon gave a different speech from the one on record live over Sirius A radio where he addressed the people in Sirius A Romulan.  John wanted to do the speech at a symbolic time so picked 11 AM their local time, for all of the 11-11 symbology in Armestus Day.  One thing that struck me about the recording (he played for me) was the sense of detachment about the whole thing like it’s some Joe Blow being asked to speak on behalf of a favorite charity or something.  There to me seemed strangely little passion in this speech.  John said that if there is any truly “immediate response” by an ETI (my term) it was because “They were already in the Neighborhood” meaning on Planet Earth.  But otherwise they use this “time budgeting’ thing where they allot time from the future, like programming a VCR or something.  But in “Real Time” travel - - ironically what “Jumping the Void’ is - - then however long it takes is how much time you will be missing if they have to do a memory wipe on a person.  (I had tap danced around this question but finally posed it)  John Lennon also said something else.  He said that the division among the Centurians was between the old school Edomites- - and the current “Dominionists” and “Doing all of these theo-centric crap nowadays”.   And Lennon said that this has been an issue rift among the Centaurians for years.  He also reaffirmed that it’s their opponents who refer to them as “Betas” the same way you might refer to Hebrews as “Jews”.  The subject of the 'Hey Jude" poster in the window of Apple Studios came up and I asked John if it was true that they deliberately wanted to make Hey Jude just longer than Mc Arthur's Park and he said that was True.  That song is by the Morenians - - a new race intruduced to you.  This race also contains the Union Gap, late Johnny Rivers stuff - and Bobby Goldsboro.  The spelling is actually "Meurenians".  The Romulan word Morre means either "dark" or "warm" though Lennon says it's most common usage, at least on this planet, was talking about strong hot drinks such as coffee and Romulan tea.   He also mentioned another group, the Lenorians, the group with "Every Turtles hit from Happy Together- onward" that also contains other sixties notables such as "Mary Hopkins, Glen Campbell,  [Young Rascles] Jackie De Shannon, Blow Job Thomas, and Joe South."
