Borders just emailed a 'farewell'
And with that, books —at least the paper version—appear to be dead.. Site Amazon will still send them.. And Barnes will carry a bit longer. But Borders closing is big.. And guess what? We’ll miss paper. I swear we will. Goodbye paper. Though the trees will soon breathe a half sigh of relief.
FYI to Art Bell fans
He’s back in Pahrump, NV. The home in the high desert .. No news on radio but more than a few would love hearing him again..
Just outrageous!
Outlandish.. Unbelievable! Almost sophomoric! Maybe even unseemly! Perhaps even over the top.. All of that and more!
Fear not.

Quite possibly my favorite Billy Joel song — and maybe the one I hear the least.
Goodnight all.

I'm wondering?
Can you tell the morality of a nation by which? 1) it’s religious leaders, 2) the wars it chooses to fight or 3) the way it treats its prisoners?

I always wonder: Are films like this prep work for the real thing? …
Anger over Netflix price hike: Phones ringing off the hook at company..
Loyal fans angry over increase..
It’s amazing.. the world of technology, email, downloading videos on Netflix instantly.. and what do fans do? Old fashioned complaints. They pick up the phone, get angry, and talk.. Maybe there is hope for the world after all.. people do have emotions that they can express without keyboards or mouse clicks. Bravo, humanity! Bravo..
Typhoon in the Pacific: Japan waiting for next disaster
Pacific Rim Rampage: Monster at sea as Typhoon Ma-On aims for Japan.. May become a ‘Super Typhoon’ before landfall..
Expected track of Ma-On takes it to the Southern tip of Japan and back out to sea.. BUT.. Heavy rainfall is expected in the tsunami-ravaged areas north of Tokyo. All eyes are watching the little island nation that is being slammed with new disasters every time you look..
H E A T W A V E
Get ready: Heat is coming.. this week, from sea to shining sea, the American landscape is going to sizzle.. Fry eggs on the highway, water the plants.. don’t leave your pets or your elderly in cars. It’s going to be a heat wave.. Amazingly, it’s going to be 90 degrees and higher in 40 states.. This is summer 2011.
Excited?
The heat will spawn some severe weather, too..

Would the world be better if we never had the internet?
With all of this Google study mania this week, it begs the question: Would we be better off, as a human race, never to have the information superhighway created? Just curious…
Exorcists flock to Poland
The goal: They will examine “the current fashion for vampirism in Europe and the world-over, schizophrenia and other mental disorders as well as the devil’s deceit during exorcism”

...and one more point on the Google memory study
I have long believed that future humans will have Google-type phones or memory chips implanted in our skin and we will actually become a part of the internet. At that point, will humans know everything? What danger could that bring if we did? … No more Google when we are Google.
I think scientists are actually right..but there's always a 'but'
I believe that, as reported this week, Google is actually destroying what little minds we actually have left.. I know for me, soon after a search is complete and an answer is found, my mind trashes the little snippet of information like disposable waste..
But think of this! What if it’s information, the info we Google constantly, is information we shouldn’t really care to remember anyway? Maybe it’s simply a waste of time and space in our brain..
I wonder this: Would we remember the important stuff if we found it online? …I’d argue probably yes. I just wish I had enough money for a study.
Carmageddon
…the 405 in LA is closed. Hopefully traffic is moving, somewhere else.. In the mean time, expect the term Carmageddon to be heavily—and overly—used by journalistic sources across the nation.
And ...
…there weren’t too many updates this week on here. I am just so frustrated with being followed on here by fake accounts and sexbots. When you see an absence of updates, no fear, I can always be followed at the Horror Report ..
It really is the perfect summer day
…And it’s made even nicer when you think that we are about halfway through summer.. on the down side now. Sure heat waves are coming and yes, the 90s and 100s will be prominent throughout the nation this coming week.. But there is something about that night time air, though mixed with heat, that reminds you of the cooler coming months.. there are noises at night that remind me of fall. It’s almost as though, especially in late July, that insects and animals begin to retire their senses for another season.
Sure there’s lot of summer to go. But there sure is lots of summer over, too..
Later. Until next time. Later.
Friday, July 15, 2011
It’s amazing to think, but we are pretty much at the halfway point through summer.. Sooner rather than later, leaves will be changing, the sun will be gone.. snow will be falling. Time goes by fast.. Enjoy it while you’ve got it.
Goodnight. Have a midsummer night’s dream for me.

Starry night.. Summer sky
The few joys of summer all at once tonight… Bright moon, cool summer breeze.. Ice cream man.. Beautiful night, perfect. It felt like 1970s suburbia.. No obese kids on computers, just riding bikes, just taking in a simple, plain, perfect summer night. Nights like this make life ‘worth it’..
If only you can bottle it and save it.
Eric, don’t call my bluff
To all out there...
I have blocked over 50 ‘sexbots’ in the past day. Anyone else in the same boat here? …is it something with me? Do fake sex accounts like Coal!? I’m so busy with that, that I can’t just post and be happy.. instead “posting made easy” by Tumblr is posting making me nervous…..

I feel like disabling notes, or quitting Tumblr..
My site is being inundated with sex-bots and fake accounts.. but they are not following, only ‘liking’ .. is ANYONE else having the same issue?

The Windmills of your Mind — Noel Harrison

Goodbye manned space travel, hello galactic robots..
That’s it? Robots? Jeez.. We may as well just send monkeys up in crafts called Sputnik..
What I have been wondering..
Which scenario would be more detrimental and far reaching for humanity:
1) If we were told that aliens were on the way and would be landing in 48 hours.
2) If we were told that new research and proven beyond down that there are NO life forms in space, and earth is 100% proven as the ONLY planet with life.
My thought would be that scenario 2 would equal more chaos on earth. I think if we were told that life was coming here, we’d be humbled. Sure, riots would occur and some violence and bad behavior, but I think for the most part we’d be haunted by that unknowing experience of what was going to occur. But I think in scenario 2, humans who are despots or evil already would feel vindicated of punishment. And then the real hell on a scorched earth would begin. After all, if there are no other lives in the universe, who’d care if there were a few more Holocausts or mass murders…
I think similar responses could be garnered by removing ‘aliens’ from the premise and including God instead. Regardless of belief in God, I think humanity itself would be in chaos were it to be told unequivocally that there is no God and we are alone, all alone, here on earth.
So, readers, followers, and fans alike, I’m curious as to your thoughts. If you’re so inclined, reply to this post, or send me through a message on my open lines page. Maybe the last space shuttle Atlantis blast off has me thinking of these ‘great beyond’ type questions…
Not sure if anyone listened to Coast to Coast AM last night..
But if you did you would have heard Dr. Gregg Korbon share the story of how his 9 year old son, Brian, predicted his own death with remarkable accuracy.. It was moving, amazing.. and mysterious. Despite critics’ comments of George Noory many have, last night’s show why Coast to Coast AM could still matter.
The hands of time never cease to amaze me.
Don’t let time slip by without trying to get every last bit of enjoyment you can..
Friday, July 8, 2011
Stay tuned..
I am going to propose an interesting question (at least in my mind) tomorrow about aliens and the purpose of humans.. Still forming my thoughts but I’ll be eager to get reader and followers’ input.. Stay tuned.
Obama in a summer heat
Fresh from a Twitter town hall with chosen questions, Obama met at the White House with those who oppose him.. Republicans who loudly say they don’t want to increase the debt ceiling but quietly know they will have to .. a president who is grayer than ever before.. the image of the Commander in Chief today was startling.. sweat beading up on his forehead…more wrinkles than he had in the spring…a portrait of a president—and candidate—who doesn’t have the same youthful fire he had in 2008. 2008, when the world seemed to be ready to change..
Change now, some say, may be the GOP’s rally for 2012.. in a nation still not recovered from recession..a depressing recession at that. Manufacturing? Where are you.. service? …not there.. business? Gone. Wall Street? You’re in the money.
It’s going to be a long hot summer. If the image of President Obama has foretelling of anything, a lot more sweating is yet to come..

Do you want to live forever? Scientists give hope to those who may want a cure for aging

…a note to the pundits on TV trying to over-do the verdict: The jury did NOT say Casey was innocent.. they said ‘not guilty,’ which means the prosecution didn’t prove the case..
Now, as for that jury? …we’re still waiting for you to fill those 12 angry empty chairs and tell us why you decided all of this in just 10 hours..
I have to to wonder..
If the Casey Anthony trial wasn’t televised and had no attention, would the jury have found her not guilty..? Regardless of her guilt, the jury held true to their oath.. But if Casey was an inner city poor nameless face, would her fate have been different…?
Wow...
The jury thinks Casey Anthony is a liar.. But not a murderer.. The jury finds her not guilty on murder charges as Casey smirks from her seat…

4th of July as it's meant to be
It’s 9pm on the East Coast, America 2011.. The light of day still hovers in the evening sky.. Illegal fireworks explode in the distance.. This, indeed, is how summer is meant to be ..
America, for all its flaws and mistakes, is still the best place to live. Because after all, where else in the world can you point out your country’s flaws and mistakes and not go to jail or be killed..?
Enjoy all.. Cook out. Light fireworks. Be safe. And sing a song of American pride.
Goodnight America. Just don’t say goodbye to America.
*Another* new study suggests that autism may be triggered in the womb
The latest in a number of theories as to what causes the distressing ailment to children..This theory is according a study by Stanford University.. They compared cases of autism in identical and fraternal twins and found that fraternal twins — who share only half of the same genes — have unusually high rates of autism. Reuters reports further:
"In another, researchers at health insurer Kaiser Permanente found mothers of children with autism were twice as likely to have been prescribed a common antidepressant during the year before their pregnancy than mothers of healthy children.
And the risk was even greater — a threefold increase — when the drug was taken in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Coal region bites: For the fourth time in just two weeks, a person was bitten by a pit bull in Pottsville, PA
…it’s the home of Yuengling brewery, and now dangerous dog bites.. Four times in 2 weeks!? Is there something in the water, or is it just that the SPCA doesn’t take pit bulls anymore!?
