the 'grid: "You cant borrow black." I just heard this on tv.

meditate on a banding together of the jius

b1-66er: if the 20th century holocaust had not have happened, would 21st century Jews still be as fervent?

special K: I don't think so. In fact I think Judaism might have died out by assimilation.

b1: I'll bet you're right.
it's sardonic to think that, for the future, it's the best thing that ever happened to the religion.
if Hitler could see the result, today, I'll bet he'd re-think his original plans.  he was a lot of things, but he wasn't dumb ... and he certainly had a "point."

K: agree, agree, agree
An incredible example of unintended consequences, zen, and jiujitsu.

b1: mostly jujitsu.

soundtrack to the dream of the beyond middle aged

b1-66er: just made a hard psychological decision.  I had "cold hard cash" tix for tomorrow night, GOOD Johnny Cash tribute at the house of blues ...
and I'm trading them off for preservation hall jazz band at Brooklyn bowl...
THESE are the deep and difficult quandaries my life entails.

the instigator: How do you sleep at night?

b1: soundly.
and I dream of beautiful women having close conversations with each other in my lap.  at least that's what it was this morning.

blacks are to bats as whites are to _______

b1-66er: just now back in Vegas, riding the WAX.  everyone riding with me in the back of the bus is black.  everyone in the front is white.
say what?
the 'grid: Blacks are like bats, we do not fancy light. Whites, on the otherhand stay wherever they can to catch rays.

get the water ... and the lever

b1-67er: <pic attached>
latest bonsai project.  was over 10 feet tall.

b1-66er: I don't know how to break this to you ... horticulture is not mechanical engineering.

b1-66er: good article.  I'm dreading HC as our next prez ... which I'm fairly certain is going to happen.

entropy dave: I'm not happy about it either.  I think she is fundamentally not oriented toward honesty; and she doesn't stand for anything but herself.
