Ain't no country Wi-Fi up heeya...

...and my Sprint card has trouble up at the cabin, too.
Landon and Kyle suggested I download a 'stick figure animation program'...  So I did.  I found one called Pivot, which is free and pretty cool.  You can create stick figure animations and easily save them as animated .gif image files.
 
The boys have been making stick figures beat the tar out of each other for the past day or two.  Is it possible to make a stick figure animation not violent?  that's Landon's next assignment.

Questions O' the day

Does God really intervene. (my wife and I disagree on this one) Is the speed of light constant... Or is it slowing down? Which came first the protien or the dna? What is irreducible complexity? How affected are we by EMFs? What if we weren't dehydrated... what would that be like? How much do you pay for a gallon of water? (how much in the plastic bottle, bought at the store .. 80z? ..... what did it cost? ... How many ounces in a gallon ? (answer= 128 oz = 1 gal) ... do the math! .............................. and we complain about gasoline. Is energy free and inconvenient? .... or Convenient and costly? What is NOT a frequency? and the wacky question of the day: If the phone didn't ring and it was you who didn't answer it, would it have been me who didn't call? :o)

The Difference Between a Duck

Oh,. the answer to the wacky duck question in a that earlier post is that: "One of it's legs are both the same. " I'm sorry, it's not supposed to make sense.

Splash in water

There is a time and a place for everything.... And now is the time for flying to Boston, driving to Vermont to splash in Elfin Lake..... Or pond... Or whatever you want to call it. They call it re-creation.... And it should be regularly scheduled!

.....Just spoke with a guy who has only taken 2 vacations in 8 years... It's fine to enjoy work.... but it's usually there when we come back. ...We'll actually 'work' better if we'd take a break once in a while. It's a real win-win. Life is:_______?________ What was the first thing to come to mind to finish that sentence? ..... think about it... What's your real perspective? A bear? A bowl of cherries? Tough? A Game? A Blast? Hellish? Blessed? It's OK to enjoy it ..... in fact, that's the intention. Splash around a bit. You have my permission.
