Purple

Well?

Because.

That's why :-).

Morning

Dingleberry :-).

Love you.

Watched

this last night as well :-).

Lets just say it was kinda of a NPR evening :-).

Charlie Rose interviews Bill Gates and Warren Buffett

They both go on about how GDP growth of 2% will be enough for the economy in the future.

I'm over here like my man Bernie throwing shoes at the TV (not really) yelling, "Not if the majority of the gains keep going to the upper 1% it won't!"

Neither one of them ever mentioned that. 

Charlie :"What do you enjoy?"

 Warren "I enjoy running Berkshire, it's been my painting for 50 some years I get to paint what I want, I don't have to do what Wall street is telling me to do next quarter, something like that, I own the brush, I own the canvas and the canvass is unlimited, that's a pretty nice game and I get to do it everyday with people I like, I don't have to associate with anyone that causes my stomach to churn you know. I've got a good deal."

It's kind of the idea isn't it Lucy?

Isn't that what we're all after?

Warren "I'm eight six...I've never seen anybody who felt good about their children, who felt bad about their life."

Because

we were wondering about it last night as we were watching the show on Voyager.

How big a change in the Earth's orbit would be required to destroy all life?

"However, to destroy all life on Earth the orbit would have to change by at least hundreds of thousands of miles"

Sounds like a lot right?

But when you consider that the earth is an average of 93 million miles from the sun?

900,000 miles would equal .0096 of that distance or .96%

Less than one percent of the distance further or closer would destroy all life.

Another way of looking at it?

The Distance between the Earth and Venus "on average, it is 25 million miles".

The distance between the Earth and Mars is "on average 139 million miles".

Less than 1% room for error.

Seems to me like we're at the right place :-).

Watched

it last night.

Twice :-).

The Farthest, Voyager in Space.

Some highlights:

87 years ago we thought the Milky way was the entire universe.

One lifetime ago :-).

If you point a straw toward the big dipper?

The amount of space you see will contains thousands of galaxies with billions of stars each.

(You can't see them with the naked eye, they are to dim but they are there)

Think about it for a second.

The space equivalent to the opening of a straw in the night sky.

contains thousands of galaxies with billions of stars.

Now think about the whole sky.

Exactly.

Jupiter's moon Io has volcano's and is "the most geologically active object in the Solar System"

Io 

Uranus rotates top to bottom not left to right 

Uranus tilt.

 Neptune’s largest moon Triton has geysers spewing nitrogen gas as high as five miles in the air.

Triton 

Psalm 19:1-3

Yep

(Pretty sure most know my views on Reagan's policies but the quote is true.)

They

cut the water off tomorrow :-).

Didn't give a fuck yesterday.

Don't give a fuck today.

Whatcha think I feel about tomorrow? :-).

Think

I'm going to beat my personal best of eating on eighty five cents a day.

I found some Ramen at the damaged grocery store that cost thirty nine cents for a five pack.:-).

Promise.

Oh yeah,

afternoon knucklehead :-).

I

think of China's new silk road initiative like this, were going around the world blowing stuff up, they're building things. 

The four winds have to be leveled before they are unleashed right?

Betcha

I eat today :-).

Betcha I sleep with a roof over my head tonight. :-).

Betcha I have clothes to wear :-).

Betcha I give thanks all the day long for every lil thing. :-).

Brother Joe's

calling.

Think about this for a second.

Leave home.

Travel almost 7000 miles to a nation you've never been to before.

You don't know anybody.

You don't have a job.

Hardly any money.

No home.

Etc. 

What do you think his family was telling him?

Here's what I just don't understand.

Why make it any harder than it already is?

What good are you doing?

What are you going to alter?

Why not make it as easy on the person as you possibly can?

I don't think it's an accident that Brother Joe is my pastor.

I don't think it's an accident that I stumbled upon New Chapel UMC (While riding :-).

I don't think it's an accident that five people had their calling to the lord while attending New Chapel, etc.

I could go on but I'll go ahead and stop.

 John 8:47

Here's

the worlds flow of goods and services in the future.

China's 'New Silk Road

The article kind of sells them short.

I wouldn't be so quick to do so.

Also?

You can count on days when I walk into the room in full-on Kewlrockindaddy mode, black leather biker boots, ratty jeans with the holes in them, (Long Johns underneath if it's cold enough) the torn Harley riding shirt I like so much with the wicking in the arm pits to help stay dry, the one with the bleach stain and the button missing and the rips on the sleeve from the last time the bike was laid down, matching the do rag to the boxers, either black, white or orange, (That used to bother me a lil but not anymore, nobody thinks twice about a woman's thong or bra strap showing, why should the end of the legs of my boxers be considered offensive?) The Maui Jim sunglasses, the Rasta friendship bracelet and just be like, "Lets go have lunch somewhere where this type of apparel is appropiate."

I mean seriously, like just out of the blue and stuff.

Get ready Lucy :-).

So

I'm thinkin when we have breakfast, conversation, reading and such in the mornings?

I'll just keep doing what I'm doing now while sitting with you, I'll just pretend your not there while I'm writing and you can still read things for yourself :-). That way, it will be just as close to the same as it is now, only I'll get the pleasure of your company :-).

This

“Go for the jugular,” Trump advised in his 2009 book “Think Big.”

Always get even: “You need to screw them back 15 times harder. You do it not only to get the person who messed with you but also to show the others who are watching what will happen to them if they mess with you.”

is the guy that evangelicals voted for? 

I'm sorry, I missed this part of the bible.

Plannin

on it :-).

Frequently.

Intensely.

RNM

"The people must be wise enough to stop be lead astray."

Morning

Knucklehead.

Love you.

So?

What happens when Pakistan is no longer dependent on US aid and Turkey leaves NATO?

What will our status in the world be then?
