Well, I wrote my reply between the two halves ;) I fell asleep after that.

Legend of the Seas sounds like something out of the card game we haven't finished yet. Six years in development... Have you listened to Empire of the Clouds by Iron Maiden? It contains some answers to

Thanks. I try a lot, and it almost never works for long, but when it does... Well, trying does not hurt, and it could help.

Ah, you're good. The stuff is white pebbles. An experiment to see if they will really help me keep some more moisture in the soil, but on such a small scale...

What job? Building and nurturing adaptive or transferable skills is what one should focus on. And they should be picked according to the kid's affinities. I might suggest 'become an architect so that you

You could do pretty nice decoration with dried twigs or branches during the cold season, while fresh growth is nowhere to be found. Or stones, sand, or moss... Colorful socks every once in a while. But

What would mountains say if they could talk about our civilizations? We have the potential of being something else. More than lice, perhaps even more than mice. But wasting it on instinct seems stronger

Thanks. Becoming harder and harder to find the time to walk. I miss walking a lot a lot.

I guess that soon we could each have some personal assistant program that could, if we instruct it so, continue triggering the lottery on our behalf even after we're gone from this world... Or the Stone

Limitations should be self-imposed. It is our failure as parents and as self-improvers (self-destroyers) that we go ape **** about interesting things. Practice self-control or degrade. Personal choice.

You reminded me of a theory a local writer shared. In short, about the cooperative versus the competitive civilization. We've kind of evolved as the latter, perhaps we started as the latter and never got

So there will be mammoths again?

Hence, it is, inadvertently, working in their best interest... by not doing it and eventually triggering evolution... further on its way... or back in the circle...

Nor do I. But I seem to be in that stage of life where I want to be a caveman. Still haven't finished the clay-and-pottery high school.

I started with rye, too. But I am suspicious of yes white bread ;)

And I have to survive 17 more. What kind of calendars you guys using?

I'm trying to develop some sourdough (for baking bread) but it's not quite alcohol grade yet... Otherwise... mixing all kinds of stuff.

Everything counts towards emissions. Like all the ammo being exploded in the last few years. All the fires we had, even locally. I only recently began donating on a monthly to a WWF fund that sponsors
