    The natural world never stops astonishing me!
  2. Suicide?

    Compassion is a dish best shared. I understand that a person(s) in immediate crisis isn't considering much more than the agony they are facing. I don't have much compassion on the jailers who allowed two juveniles to commit suicide.
  3. Suicide?

    As youngster ( I am thinking 15 years old ) I worked at a snack stand at a local concert venue. We sold hot dogs pizza chips and Pepsi. There were 2 entrances each manned by security to prevent booze and or food inside. We had 3 stands inside and two outside, one near each entrance. The outside stands were preferred as they were generally slower than the inside stands. And security confiscated a lot of booze. After filling their vehicles with their choice of bounty, they would trade a case of beer for couple of hotdogs or slices of pizza. We had 2 large plastic containers full of ice and Pepsi's. It wasn't uncommon for 1 or both to be filled with beer at the end of the night. I worked with a Mutt and Jeff pair, and at least one of the pair would work an outside stand. In short order they both became alcoholics. Busted for possession of heroin, they were jailed in separate cells in which they hung themselves. I found it to be a very selfish act and consider it so in most cases. I also think in their case it was due in part due to their immaturity and illicit substance use. They were around my age when it happened. I don't think of it often... but every August they come to mind.

    I have been found dumb, but now I find myself dumdfounded. An English sense of humor? What's next chickens with lips, teeth?

    How about you all meet in the middle.. "up on the roof" by the drifters I suggest that be fun?
  10. De-caf question?

    If the product were to be subject to being labeled "Organic" in the USA' its production, processing, handling and labeling as such would be subject to greater regulation under USDA standards. That being said "buyers beware" and a close examination of both USDA and FDA standards would be a great idea,

  15. Is truth relative?

    I have been known to swear, (in the olden days use cuss words...) and leaving nothing out may both take some time, and shock all but the most : Mature, Liberal,** **(traveling in the 70's, with my not so liberal Aunt and Uncle on a highway in Arizona, during Spring break, a car full of youngsters, -damn carpetbaggers mind you-, passed my uncle's car. and whilst doing so both the front seat passenger and rear seat passengers, dropped their drawers shining a few full moons .. Uncle wrestled a pistol, a large caliber revolver, from what we called the "glove box" my uncle, grabbing the gun, and drawing down, on the miscreants, taught me high speed pursuit techniques to avoid... and added to my vocabulary* encouraged a new unofficial land speed record? Well travelled, Unapologetic, *A major part of my education on western swear words, and how not to drive.
