What you’ve done there DT was to amalgamize the reason why I have not been around. Anywhere.

I don’t need any of that stuff and I have mostly rejected it. I don’t let the web “do me” any more.

I had a daily pattern for many years that manly amounted to exposing myself to all the most evil of everything the web has to offer and only in deep self reflection did something occur to me.

Habits are that way I suppose. You invite them in and the next thing you know they’re telling you what for – they own you.

3 weeks ago I broke that chain. I told Tom Hyland about it in email. I won’t live like this any more. I believe there is still some uselfulness in the web but it is becoming more and more fleeting with each passing day. Just about everywhere I look on line there is an overt amount of falsity in various forms.

It is becoming harder and harder to find truth online and if I am anything it is a staunch advocate of all things truth. Childish falsehoods bore me, adult falsehoods anger me, corporate-government falsehoods make me ball my fists and load magazines and sharpen blades.

I’m 71, and I’m tired. In the last chapter of the only life I’ll ever own and I’m going to live it my way and everyone else can go straight to hell. I suspect in the next year I will have molded my life to such a degree that I no longer have any contact with anyone through digital means. No banks, no communications, nothing. I’m going back to 1972, maybe further, and that’s where I’ll live til I die. The only thing I care about is my lifemate of 42 years. We sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds and that is our nirvana and we created it ourselves. If you arrange the letters of the internet (www) just so they numerically equal 666, and I’m not a religious person.

Best to all and maybe I’ll stop back sometime, but don’t bet on it.

I sat on a jury once. It was a jewelry store robbery, but it was a federal case because the knuckleheads came in from LA and then returned back to Compton or somewhere with the loot.

I’m not going to say that the case was cut and dried….the defense offered plenty of reasonable doubt. But I was convinced well enough to convict pretty early on. However, in our deliberations there were 2 women who just couldn’t get themselves to that point. We did eventually hash it out and convicted the single defendant in my jury service (the other had pled to lower charges if he would testify against his homie)

But I’ll never forget those 2 women. I think that the main reason that they didn’t want to convict was that they had a hard time judging someone else. There are people who go through life having never had to decide if X is better than Y. Put them on a jury, and they just freeze.

I’ll give that kid-killin’ woman’s lawyers this: They’ve done a good job of muddying the waters and making people (almost all of them women) question convicting her. Those lawyers have done their job. She still needs to hang though. You can’t kill kids, any of ’em, but your own kids especially.

It’s so very hard to not see and hear all this tragic hateful horrible terrible
disgusting human/animal waste of life. Too much just too much.

Ghost, I hope you do come back once in a while. You’ve added much here.
If not, be well, take care.
