It's way too easy for me to put off going to the gym, so I was intent on getting over there yesterday afternoon, just after I got rid of a computer problem. Well (a deep subject), you know how that can go!
Several hours later I was on my bike for the half mile jaunt to the gym, by now a little nippy for shorts and t-shirt, the day before Halloween.
When I got there, a woman with a bike and trailer with a couple of kids was trying to figure out why her rear wheel was loose. The nut for the quick release hub was missing, so there was no way she was going to be riding home on her bike. Sometimes you can get lucky solving things so I just asked what was her route, figuring the nut must have come undone fairly close with all the weight from the bike trailer. So I backtracked 100 feet and found it sitting on the sidewalk, fixed it and sent her on her way with smiles all around.
So as I went into the gym, there were 20 or so zombies doing a live performance of Michael Jackson's "Thriller", so I caught a little of it on my phone. Then I found out there was a buffet with soft corn tortillas, plenty of meat, chicken, onions and cilantro. Yahoo turned out to be a great day! :-)

Porto di Maratea, a bordo del caicco North Star. Tyrrhenian Sea
I love Italy and Rocco Giove has some great views in Southern Italy. I don't speak Italian either, but even if I don't understand it, it's authentic though incomprehensible.

The Math Doesn't Add Up; So Who's Minding The Store?
Let's take a household with an annual income of $24,500
and their annual outlay is $35.370
Annual Credit Card Debt is 35,370-24,500 = $10,870
With an existing Credit Card debt of $16,750
What would you say to them if they asked for advice?
John Stossel printed this on a board and showed it to passers by in Manhattan. When he flipped over the board, he revealed that if you add a few zeros,
you're looking at the Federal Debt: $2,450,000,000,000
with a Federal yearly budget of $3,537,000,000,000
Annual Credit Card Debt is $1,087,000,000,000
and an existing Credit debt of $16,750,000,000,000
Won't anybody get serious out there in Washington?

Richard Dawkins, Avid Atheist, Discusses Faith Studiously With Jon Stewart Who Honors His Guest Gratiously
Dawkins and Stewart do a fairly good job revealing two viewpoints on religion and atheism resulting in no real resolve other than that Faith has blindness as an aspect that accepts an abandonment of logic at some point. We all have our opinions and since we can only factually prove our current existence as our life span, what comes before or after are conjecture. I personally "believe" that life is infinite and it's presumptuous to assume that there is a beginning and an end to "everything", such as "the big bang" theory. Couples of stars and or suns rotate around each other and one shattered and created our end of the milky way in our Universe, but it's self centered to think that that was the start of everything. I don't think anyone can put a nice little bow on beginnings and endings, but the viewpoint that observes is indeed infinite, a part of some divine entity. But that's just conjecture and I know it.
