Post  #2584.   Dark dimension solved.      It turns out that gravity works exactly the same in the fifth dimension as it does in the other four. The key to understanding this is to view the Higgs Boson. Unfortunately, we cannot. That's because the Higgs is the only object comfortable in all five dimensions as it moves freely among them, affected only by being detected. It reacts to this, or even the anticipation of this, by leaving. Leaving? To where? Elsewhere. That's the trick. Not until we conquer and capture a Higgs will we be able to see the fifth dimension, use dark matter and burn dark energy. This may happen sooner than we expect.Rick Macherat Rick M. In the day.

Post  #2583.   I'll keep doing it.     Just today, we were both reminded .. well, here it is anyway. So Seattle. He's a little lumpy, she's lovely and smitten. It's raining, and who cares.



This photograph was taken by Seasun. He takes a lot of them, and they're all here. You'll want to click on this one to enlarge it.

Like I said, So Seattle, So Perfect. Huh? You'd have to live here, really.

About the archives. My "dashboard," or whatever Blooger is calling it these days, was put together by me Before the War even. So much has happened, including my mental decline. I don't dare touch it to add "Access Archives." The one time I did, the little gray word, Comments, grew to a size 72 font and stayed that way for a month. Rick Macherat Rick M. In the day.

Post  #2582.   The Lecture.      Saw an ad for Lint Lizard on the television set, went to Amazon to check it out. Wow, the power of the Internet. Turns out the product doesn't work at all, and the poor folks who bought one have plenty to say about it. Usually, no matter how great the item is, there will always be one or two poor souls who just couldn't figure it out or are plain unlucky. This time it was almost everyone. What would my existence today be without Amazon? Well, for starters your house wouldn't look like a future episode of Hoarders. Ha-ha very funny.

Feeling silly late last night, wrote this song or the beginning of one anyway

Sittin' outside the church in my coar late one evenun'
Motor runnin'
Mostly empty bottle-a wann on the seat asahd me
Afore long
Lats in ma rearview mirra
Seen them lats before
"Evenin' sir. License, registration, proof of insurance, please."
"Bat two beers tonight, officer, that's all I swear to God"

Working on a melody tonight, but I keep getting drifts of Buffett in my head. So inappropriate. I'll keep you posted if I get something.

And then this. And the task of the manager living in that environment is more and more trying to put .. here is the situation that I have or a conversation that I had about a particular issue, here are some important facts and kind of my theory right now on that, and you're continuously doing that, you know. What we do with another classic case, and what we try to communicate to students to work on, one is undergraduate MBA's, you know, the Executive Education; the other is General Management. There are general managers out there today who literally do not, you know, they're still playing it as a spectator sport and not as a participatory sport. They're leaving it all to their "tech guy."

Oh yeah. The Chinese had better keep on their toes - here we come!

Maybe this verse could go before the other one. Alternatively, after he's bailed out

We livin' in a '67 single-waad
A few bullet holes, no heat
Trailer park rent's pretty cheap
Strung-out wife's got no teet'
Passel o' kids, no shoes on they feet
