Not so much…listening to Warren Zevon. He didn’t mince words when it came to the reality of life.

One of my new years resolutions was to get back on here on a regular basis. So far that hasn’t happened.
I am a prolific dreamer. To clarify, both while awake and asleep. I have not yet checked out research on recording dreams but often wondered if it would be possible to record our dreams/thoughts in real time for review or recall. To be continued….
I have deleted my Facebook page titled as the D List Riders mostly because it was set up as a business page and i couldn’t figure out how to link comments to my personal page. Simple I’m sure but I just couldn’t do it

I have grown really tired of Facebook…primarily because once they latch on to you there is a constant barrage of “information” aimed at what it thinks I want to see. By choice most of my friends tend to agree with most of what I post and I, them. In this respect it is not much better than a personalized version of Fox News. I will NEVER get a twitter account, however at least on Twitter it is easier to choose to follow people you know you don’t have much in common with. Carried to an extreme the information we get from out social media accounts becomes a form of personal radicalization.
The term “snowflake” is often used negatively to suggest that (mostly progressives) someone is a fool for thinking that they are unique. Yet an extremely small part of us is unique. However, fact is, all the sentient beings on this planet are very much the same. It is only that very small % of our DNA that differentiates us for crows, dogs, rats or dolphins. Those who believe in some kind of creator would have us think otherwise. Sadly they are correct in one aspect. We appear to be unique in that we are the only specie that is so massively self destructive.
My wife had a flat tire but it was just setting in the driveway. We know it is a slow leak and called our roadside service plan to get it inflated. Turns out they will only change the tire or tow the car. WTF…they can’t simply inflate the tire?
I would like to thank those who have written kind words of concern relative to those of us who chose not to believe that there is a God by any definition. As the article in the Star indicated, our numbers are growing. Most interesting to me was the fact that believers, in God, would vote for a political candidate who is a member of any number of minority groups before they would vote for an atheist. Apparently for some folks atheists are less socially acceptable than say sociopaths. Please know that we are not looking for converts and are not as morally deficient as the majority of people choose to believe.
