Is it time to go home yet?

Most people who think themselves "free thinkers" are simply swallowing someone else's narrative packaged as being "independent thought".

[Lord Jim]

Quite true...

Like the way Steve ( who considered himself to be one of the freest of thinkers) would rail against people who he saw as unquestioningly accepting any information from authoritative sources, and then turn right around and accept any narrative provided by the conspiracy bloggers as true without questioning it...

[MajGenl.Meade]

Oh you are so, so, so right LJ. Absolutely. Word of truth! Man, that's good! I just never..... thank you! Thank you!

I don't charge any one for my thoughts, I would think that would make me a free thinker

[Lord Jim]

What is this I'm seeing hearing now at retail establishments and seeing in some email correspondence, where instead of saying, "have a nice day" or "have a good day" or "have a great day", people are saying, "have an amazing day"?

I don't think people have thought that one out properly...Wishing people to have an "amazing day" isn't necessarily wishing them well...

I can think of all sorts of things that could happen to you that would qualify as "amazing" but wouldn't necessarily be considered "good"...

You could get struck by lightening, or hit by a meteorite, or mauled by a grizzly bear, or abducted by aliens, or fall off the roof of a 10 story building and live, (while breaking every bone in your body)...

All of those things would be pretty "amazing", things to have happen, but none of them would be called "good"...

It never ceases to amaze me how people use words thoughtlessly. I've always believed that nobody should use words carelessly or create rambling sentences that sometimes go on and on and on with repetitive ideas or suggestions that make you not want to finish reading a sentence you began to read with interest before you got so far into it that you no longer wanted to read it because it got boring.

Actually, I don't have a fear of Lucy Lawless...

In fact back in the 90's I had a fantasy involving her and Jeri Ryan...

I'm assuming there won't be any requests for more information...

Information...no.

Photos?

Don't know if I posted this before, if so, tuff.

Saw a bumper sticker
SORRY FOR DRIVING SO CLOSE IN FRONT OF YOU

Another bumper sticker in a similar vein:

Not if it's a Cobalt

There is a river in Crimea. Did anyone ever sing about it?

[Lord Jim]

That only looks like a river from the air...

It's actually a convoy of Russian troop transports...

Who the hell keeps giving old man winter his Geritol?

[Jarlaxle]

It was 60 degrees today. Finally!

[MajGenl.Meade]

Do we need to brace ourselves?

[Guinevere]

No it's going to snow again Saturday and a major snow storm will hit us Tues/Wed. It's not over yet.

[Long Run]

That's the spirit -- snow in March must mean baseball is ready to return to the Northeast.

[Lord Jim]

Well, look on the bright side...

Any snow that comes now probably won't last long; it'll melt into a slushy muddy mess before you know it...

Who the hell keeps giving old man winter his Geritol?

They've gotten 30 inches of snow this year in DC (out in the burbs where my sister lives it's more like 40) 75 inches in Chicago, 47 (and counting) in Boston, and Indianapolis has had it's largest total snowfall since they started keeping records...

I think there's something stronger than Geritol involved...

It appears Old Man Winter has developed a serious meth habit...

[Econoline]

OTOH, they've been setting record HIGHS in Alaska and northwestern Canada all winter, and I seem to recall someone here on this very board complaining about the LACK of snow in the Sierra Nevadas....
