Lemon Tree Conception

I was looking at the little lemon tree out on the veranda. I is about seven feet tall with one enormous lemon on a single branch. I looked at it perhaps fifteen times before I realized it was so large that it may have passed its prime and that it should be picked. I finally went over to it and put my hand around it and it released almost effortlessly from its branch. I thought perhaps it is trying to tell me something. I interpreted it as meaning "you can not receive a lemon until you accept a lemon."

Regarding the in appropriate use of the internet...by dumb-asses.

Chelsea Handler once said "Why do people who have internet access automatically assume that makes them interesting?  My cleaning lady does not have a car but she has a website and a weekly podcast.  What is Florencia ranting about?  How to fit twelve people into an El Camino?" Do you think this is racist? Or is it just a funny harmless jab at someone you really don't care about?

Kindness

Today, reading the blog of one of the most alive people I have even know, Timothy Ferriss, he reported an experience at Burning Man 2010 he had.  Surrounded by fortune 100 elite, a constant for dear Tim, he ran into such a woman, builder of economies, Harvard nobility.  She did not say much to Tim but instead handed him this poem:

Kindness


Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.

Fluoridation is the Ultimate Deception

Fluoridation is the Ultimate Deception (Opinion) -- Hesh Goldstein, citizen journalist -- (NaturalNews) The following article is, in essence, my testimony delivered to the Hawaii Senate Health Committee in 2008. It contains facts that anyone can use to oppose water flouridation wherever you live. The good news is that once again we have been successful in keeping fluoride out of our water supply. Here we go again. Let's take our pure and tasty drinking water, put a medication (fluoride) in it, make the people accept it and make believe we have Freedom of Choice in this country. June 16, 2009
