I know I exist because I have a social security number

A co-worker’s sneering answer on my earlier question of existence

Who are we? Why are we here?

Nevermind whether God exists.. I’ve often wondered, do we exist? Sure, to ourselves we do. But do others exist to us? We are conscious only of ourselves and cannot feel what others do, and in turn, they cannot feel what we do. Therefore, to others, we very well may not exist too. And if we don’t exist to them, and they don’t exist to us, does anyone really exist. Maybe the only real thing that exists is ego. And when you take away ego, we become nothing….

Government Orders Scientists to Stay Silent on Dolphin Deaths

Government Orders Scientists to Stay Silent on Dolphin Deaths

A cold spring night.

Before I write anything else, it’s worth noting: It feels like mid December .. And it’s spring time. The days are getting longer but not warmer, at least not here in the East, where cold seemingly snuggled into the lands back in January and stuck around ever since. Snowstorm after snowstorm, brief thaws that only turned to ice.. All that behind us, but what’s ahead? Apparently more snow—forecasters are at least speaking of some predictions that snow yet again will strike Coal Speaker home base by the middle to end of the week…

Nonetheless, tonight, as the sun’s final rays faded into black, a cold wind blew as I walked outside. And I couldn’t help but think of Long Beach Island.

I’m a part time vacationer—which means if I actually go on vacation I really don’t enjoy myself.. Something deep down prevents any form of relaxation, I guess. I imagine it will get even tougher with a child in the family—but at least now there is a rewarding reason not to relax.

But as a lover of Long Beach Island, I just can’t stop wondering how the little slice of paradise is tonight? 

The winds are cold there, too, I’d guess. But along with those cold winds come beautiful sites of a bay on one side of the highway and a deep and dark ocean on the other… 

I miss it. I hope to go  back. And I hope my wife and I can introduce a young and inquisitive Ayden to the little island as well.

Maybe he will become a lover, like me, of Chicken or the Egg. Maybe the little AM will enjoy the PM watching over the island from the lighthouse at the top.. And maybe even he, like me, will enjoy the humble rooms of the Buccaneer Motel.

I hope..

It’s been a while since I was there. Maybe this year I can get back there.. 

That is, of course, once these cold and biting winds go away and warmth comes back ..

Wow..

ROLLING STONE today may have forever changed the course of American history with their publication of the secret, and very sickening, hidden war crimes photos..

The future: Cars may be banned from UK cities by 2050

Interesting future the world is heading to.. Draconian. Strange. What will society be like by 2050? …for one, it may not be very mobile, unless perhaps by then we will have teleportation technology.

Both sunspot regions 1176 and 1183 have unstable magnetic field configurations. Increased chance for strong flares.

As the sun becomes active.. be alert

We need more lerts.

And

The Solar Dynamics Observatory has released a new video of a very active sun.. A ‘sun tentacle’ was seen.. You can always find the latest and greatest—or not so great—news on solar eruptions and other space news on SpaceWeather.com.. It’s worth a visit..

Don't get me wrong, I think 10 million times higher than safe levels is bogus

But the other numbers, most likely much closer to the truth, are reading about 10,000 times higher than safe levels—with reactors still melting down as the clock ticks on. The radiation is so high, the whole operation at Fukushima is more like a suicide mission. 

This weekend, it seems like the NCAA and March Madness has dominated the news as opposed to true life-threatening issues like the still developing madness in Japan..

Here is that story about the '10 million times higher' nuclear story--and the retraction of it
