DIRTYBENNY WRITES

 

 For the record, I do not embrace the "god" model.

 

At an Aldi's Grand Opening, they give a card to the first 200 customers that is exchanged for a gift card. Of course, yours truly got number 33.

I found this video fascinating.  The effort and complexity that went into creating this "movie" is literally unbelievable.  The mechanisms used to film the tornado and the flying monkeys seem supernatural for 1939.  I surmise that this "movie" is a giant magic ritual on manKIND.  Before the internet, it was a yearly ritual for the entire family to watch the Wizard of Oz on network television. 

 

The weather has been beyond outstanding for early November with highs in the mid 70's.  It has inspired me to do another round of planting radishes, lettuces, endive, escarole, and radicchio.  The dill, cilantro, wasabina, and current lettuces have been undamaged by the few frosts so far.  I am planting 2 different types of kale today for the first time. It may even be able to overwinter in my growing zone.  For as depressed as the critter attacks get me, I still find it uplifting to be outside watching the growth process. 

Danny and Nolan spend time discussing perhaps the most taboo subject in the world...antinatalism.  One must ask why this is so taboo.  What does it say about our predicament that this is rarely discussed?

One of my favorite parts of this life experience is dreaming.   I am most fascinated that most people ignore it and never discuss dreaming.  This video is a good in-depth review of what dreaming is, what is its potential purpose, lucid dreaming, and more.
