repurposed workwork

2010-08-07T21:47:00.001-10:00

to eli's study cozy. made buttermilk pancakes, then took out out termite eaten table and various odds and ends from workroom, vacuumed, mopped. set up new shelves, rug, lap, low table, but still need desk. Eli did not grub on the rice pilaf i made for dinner. Spoke with R brifly about response to PWN, of course she wanted to do nothing. Questioned my about law school times and length, felt threaten b/c tone was unfriendly. Wanted to talk about e's hypo, she said could talk untill end of month! I asked her for 15 min, she got flustered & said she would call me back later. I assume that means not..

I just realized I'm on a manic high. Either that or over the past few days I've just meditated and talked to myself in just the right way so I feelbgood about myself. Or that I had coffee this morning (unusually) and ice tea this afternoon (also unusually). Or maybe its all part and parcel.

moral laws driven by economic imperitive

2009-12-17T18:46:00.002-10:00

Now, I don't do drugs.
The real reason dugs are illegal is that if they are legal (and used) people might cease to function as productive economic units. The added benefit to economies is the resulting increase in value stimulates legitimate production in exchange for cash.
I.e. it keeps you spinning that hamster a little faster, fool.

This is the petrogyph rock at bridge 7 in moanalua valley. I've actually passed it a bunch of times and never noticed the petrogylphs till i was looking for them.
I found reference in them in a book at Rhoda's mom's house; my notes say:
Moanaluavalley oa-a7-1
Boulder on side of moanalua stream on land known as Kahalelauki
Mcallister 1933 archeology of oahu p100 fig 31 pl. 10 C-F (site 93)
B.P.BM. Directors report 1907 pp32-33 fig 1-2

Which seems a little imcomprehensible to me now.
