And good morning all. Intermittently overcast today. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a bit more rain which is a very good thing. Trying to get my rear in gear here.

Do you have a 4:10 or 3:23?

Yes. No. Maybe? I dunno.

A 4:10 is for heavier towing, while a 3:23 gets better fuel mileage.

 

[saveliberty]

Probably a good multipurpose 3:42

Nice SUNNY day today. I think I will spent my time out in the lounge chair renewing my tan and reading a book .

Nice SUNNY day today. I think I will spent my time out in the lounge chair renewing my tan and reading a book .

I just read, 'a brief history of time' by Steven Hawking. But I felt like I was dyslexic, as I hardly understood a word of it.

 

[Gracie]

Actually..I think I am going to take my portable dvd player out there and watch a movie while under the sun. Just to see how long the batteries last.

I confess to not being a Steven Hawking disciple and yes, some of his writings are pretty incomprehensible at least to those of us who are not trained in that kind of lingo. I admire him greatly for how he has lived his life under circumstances most of us would consider unbearable. And I admire his incredible intellect. But I see him as a fallible human being just the same and capable of error on several fronts. Einstein too was not incapable of error. So I have learned many things from such great minds. And respectfully disagree on others. Which is very comforting in a way.

Steven Hawking said he was fortunate in his choice of theoretical physics as a career as it is all mental work, and he can still do this in spite of his disability. He said he wanted to write a book understandable by ordinary people, so he left out all the mathematical calculations that his theories are based on. But I still found it heavy going. If I had to try to understand the maths too I would have no chance whatever. I may re-read it to see if I get a better grasp of it a second time.

Well good luck with that. I long ago found that re-reading Hawking didn't help all that much with the comprehension.

When he says something like this:

The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities--Stephen Hawking​

I just shake my head. I love discussion of concepts like that, but for me the past is not changeable because there is no way to do that without affecting the present and the future.

Yea ! he also discusses what would happen if the universe collapsed, and I think he said that time might go backwards. That is only one of the mind numbing ideas in his book.

Oh well, I can go back to reading ' English made simple'. Even that is complicated, and it makes me realize I am semi literate.

My spelling checker is American and it confuses me sometimes: It spells arse as ass.

 

[Gracie]

Change of plans. Mr Gracie just got back from yard salin' and I have a shitload of sterling silver jewelry to polish...AND...drumroll...he bought a playstation2 and it works. So...I'm gonna be playin' some Castlevania.

 

[saveliberty]

Apparently American ass is smaller...

I get that way reading Einstein.

Well crap. It is obviously defective. I would demand a refund.
