    The Empirical and the Empathetic

    What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

    The Math

    There are 8.2 billion people on this planet and between 109 and 110 billion who have died.

    Many people talk about this glorious afterlife, and I have no evidence either way. If our lifespan was only 50 years, the amount of people on this earth would be a more sustainable 5 billion.

    We might have a fighting chance against global warming. But then again that little blue dot many see as the center of the universe.

    I don’t endorse this, yet it is food for thought.

    This is my opinion

    I’m not pushing this opinion on anybody and you may have whatever religion you want. This is our life and there is no dress rehearsal. I don’t know what the afterlife holds, and in my opinion.

    Not much, but still I hold out hope.

    Take The Wrong Way Home

    What could you do differently?

    Metaphors

    Soup

    The other day at book club I made a Vegan Pho that leaned toward chowder. I was asked for the recipe yet could not exactly produce it.

    I winged it and make it differently every time. I rarely do anything the same consistently. Yet the soup comes out consistently delicious every time.

    Art

    I honestly admit I’m not a great artist, but I still enjoy it. Right now I’ll concentrate on portraits. I enjoy drawing portraits, but I never do it consistently the same. I should measure, but I don’t imagine there’s a technique of where you should start. Life is about that spontaneity. At least mine is. I did buy a book on painting yesterday.

    Gift

    Last year I gave my son a cookbook for a gift. It was a cookbook I wrote. It had about 50 recipes in it. But they were partial recipes The recipes laid the foundation so he can go with whatever direction he wanted.

    Simple

    What colour colored pencil do you use? Was machen sie? Do you Walk to work or carry your lunch?

    Why Don’t You Drive?

     I rarely take the same way home. I don’t drive often. It probably drives my wife crazy.

    And it’s nice to do many things differently. It is a spice of life.

    Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

    Was a serious girl who wondered about the future. All the time

    Or have we always been this money driven hate filled capitalist machine.

    She wonders how easy it is to become a citizen of Colombia.

    Bill Bored

    Bill was a rather boring sign maker who works making bill boards in British Columbia

    If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

    A Story

    You see, this province restricts billboards to 300m from roadways and allows removal if deemed unsafe distractions,

    Hired by the heir of a wealthy soybean farmer he constructed a small sign that read, “Please Keep Your Guns at Home.” he insisted on using the word, PLEASE displaying Canadian hospitality.

    A month ago a truck driver, yes, from the United States was convicted of shooting holes in the sign.

    The truck driver now wears an orange suit on the side of the road cleaning up litter.

    Bill is thinking of retiring. His work is done here.
