Why is it cold in Duluth / Recollections

 So, it seems to me, and perhaps , it's just in " my " imagination, that perhaps one of our species, meaning, human type species, two legged, relatively " hairless " , opposable thumb type " creatures " or " beings ", is we have a great deal of difficulty dealing with our " existence ", or perhaps our " reality ". So before continuing it is clearly necessary to point out the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PtdpI-D6mM the above is Annie, Tomorrow ... We know we have a past, and we know we have a present.  But sometimes, because it it so hard for us to deal with those tow issues, meaning our past and the present, that we loose track of the issue of tomorrow, although we do often think about it.  I think it is that mysterious quality it does possess, which is, it does not exist yet.  But as was so elegantly stated in the song , Tomorrow , " you are only ( or always ) a day, away . " 

 You know , if the North and South Poles, suddenly switched, you would have to check all the magnets you possess to determine that, situation.  Also, if the actual region of space you are in , suddenly went upside down, I have no idea how magnets would be affected then. But back in the Oyster Bar, Ralphie has gone full on , Mr. Spock, and kinda' of taken control of the situation at least in the Bar, and next of course , he is about to deliver a speech , actually written by an a.i. on Earth, at the anti-Alterian convention and it goes something like this: Here's a speech that Mr. Spock might deliver at a convention on the connection between social structures and physical structures: --- **Mr. Spock's Speech at the Convention** *Esteemed colleagues and honored guests,* It is with a profound sense of purpose that I address you today on the intricate relationship between social structures and their physical counterparts. As a being of both Vulcan and human heritage, I have come...

  " Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness " is a well-known phrase from the  United States Declaration of Independence . [1]   So, back to recollections, on account of Mr. Bogart, seems to have " fled " the scene, and the " remarkable " , Mr. Spock, is scheduled to appear, sometime, at well, the " fringy " edge , of an anti-Alterian conference, somewhere, pretty much opposite this side of the Galaxy, meaning of course the , " famous ", or perhaps " infamous " , Milky Way. So, from my " personal " perspective, much of my " happiness " pursuits  are primarily involved with " bicycles ", possibly because of my inability to pursue happiness on a " unicycle ", but also, my personal concerns about pursuing happiness with a device, like an " auto-mobile ". I mean, I have done some pursuing, with auto-mobiles; actually, quite a bit.  But , often, the down side for me, can be a bit...

 So, we are living in a very unusual country that is founded about , this very weird notion of We The People,  as follows: CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA—1787 1 WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.  So then, We The People, are now defined by, actions, which are 1) forming, 2) establishing 3) insuring 4) providing 5) promoting 6) and securing ,,, that defines who, this -->  We The People, might, in fact be. So we know what we want to form: more perfect Union ... so go from a " less " perfect one, and figure out how to get to a " more " perfect one. That is step one. Now, you got to establish Justice and I would say try and insure some domestic Tranquility while you...

 So, when I think - revolution - , I immediately think about the earth , and the curious " fact " , that the earth revolves about 365 times per year which then means that we all moving; everyone on earth, and everything on earth,  at least 1,000 mi. / hr . which, I find a bit troubling, even " shocking ",  for some reason.  It is also kind of curious that we must,, pay,, to " travel " , at mush " slower " speeds, than that . ???  So, rather oddly , the slower we want to go, the more we must pay.. ???? I guess, I am just a bit nervous/anxious and even shocked about that.  Perhaps, it is connected to my concerns about the motion of the moon, which Isaac Newton seems to have nailed down as a young man, but I , in some sense, better, " armed ", with  what some might call --- contemporary math --- , which might make it " easier , to work out. But for over 5 years I have made very , little progress with that.  Lately, I have been working...

 So, when I thought of this I heard a bird cry ... So an example of a " thing ", pretty " free " .  I might guess what kind of bird, but I won't. But, I kind of drifted into thinking of " free " , " spirits ", that I have known over the last 50 years or so, and many free one.  Some are so " free ", it makes you want to cry out, or even " jump " around.  And I can even shed tears for some of them, now. It is kind of amazing what we experience in our life.  The big things, and the small things.  The " odd " things as well as the very " solid ", 4x4 type of things.  Some very fast things, and some " slower " , and sometimes " smoother " things.    And at the end of almost , any day, though we do " strive " for it, in big ways and small ways, oddly it does surround us, a lot .... 

 So, I just have to be " honest " for a moment and say, that President Joe Biden's speech at 75th Anniversary of NATO, was one of the most incredible speeches I have heard, and it was like a baseball that got hit out of the park and ended up in the next town.   I mean it would probably take me quite a few years to get it together, to deliver a speech of that type. 

 And so, somewhere out there on the planet, in a " big " city , where they hold " interplanetary ", but strictly " galactic " conferences; Blommer, Skylander, Ralphie, and Merrigold walk into an Oyster Bar, not so much for the ambience, but mostly because in this neighborhood, that's about the only public spaces there are.  And of course as you might imagine Skylander runs into a classmate who is working for one of the Encyclopedias currently, and so Bloomer now looks a lot like a beaver. Anyway, this weird " space-time " anomaly is that on the T.V. in the Oyster Bar, this is on the " telly " : https://youtu.be/td5sgsS37Uw?si=DLh31a4hrs5KRHgd https://youtu.be/gXra1fhjI-k?si=mpZc6lg0b-CPCLc9

 Of course, this planet ,,, where the Merrigold is currently "parked ", and thank who ever you will they did not try to land that thing, there ... ; it's far away of course, but most likely < 100 k light years, and so really, not that far. But the scene, of course, is that anit-Alterian conference or convention, where a lot of " big wigs " from all over the Altarian regions of space, these guys show up, to mostly " bad mouth " Alterians.  This is a bit " sad ", but they have to do it , just to get it out of their systems every once in a while.  I would imagine at this point that some of them have grand-children that are Alterian or at least , well, who knows ???? But really the point is that oyster bars are very " popular " all over this galaxy, which begs the question of why didn't they call it just the Oyster Way.  In my opinion, going with Milk was actually better, because , I'm pretty sure the notion of milk and oyste...

 So, apparently , about 245 years ago, the U.S.A. " started "; meaning a bunch of guys, collecting a bunch of spare parts, hobbled a country together.  Over 245 years, with some exceptions this " country " has functioned pretty well, and perhaps in that 245 years has even been pretty " great ".  And of course, as you might imagine this U.S.A. country has made a " few " mistakes, and very fortunately we have a good number of people who have " tabulated " some of these mistakes, and we even have people who try to figure out when we make those " kinds " of mistakes, how to go about correcting them. But, at this point?  What?  I have to believe, that this U.S.A. thing , after 245 years, has kind of a " soul " or " spirit " of it's own, most likely because " this land is your land, and this land is my land".  Therefore, in my humble opinion, if somebody is " imagining ", that they can ste...
