Today is 6th Decembria, 11AS...a Eponaday

"Eponaday is The First Day. Epona is a very ancient Celtic Goddess of Horses. She is chosen because The Horse is central to Amazon Culture. She starts off the week with the symbolic 'getting back in the saddle'."

"Let us look at the structure of the week itself. The First, Second and Third Days are the 'official' Work Week for business, school, etc. On the Weekend, the Fourth Day is half and half; morning and early afternoon for finishing up the Work Week and the late afternoon and evening for playing and partying. The Fifth Day is not a religious holiday per se, but rather meant to be a day of relaxation and reflection."

Random Lite

~We're just coasting toward the end of the [standard] month. Shit's a lil tight. Got higher than usual utility bills coming up and are still bleeding from the AT&T 'combine accounts to save money in the long run/fuck you in the ass up front' event. We're not in trouble, just 'tight'.

Meantime, I'm pretty much fucking off....

Life in The Desert

~It is presently 51° and 61% humidity. That is all...

Her Prophet Speaks

"I have traveled a fair amount, lived in places as diverse as New York's upper west side, in Indian villages in the Mexican state of Chiapas, in mansions in Beverly Hills and homeless shelters on LA's Skid Row. And I'll be fifty five at the end of this summer. [fifty nine now]

I've met some amazing people of all 'genders' along the way. But my general observation has been that the vast majority of humans are very provincial and often willfully ignorant.

As a general rule, humans fear change because it could mean loss. The most basic element of the paradigm I advocate is this: I have found, as a general rule, that human females tend to deal with change more reasonably, and with less violence, than do human males...as a general rule.

In an age where we have technologies that can destroy us by intention within days, or over decades through simple inaction, I believe that is a vital distinction. That is the bottom line. The rest is just boilerplate. And time is running out."

Life in The Desert

~It is presently 91° and 14% humidity. That's a rise in temperature of 40 degrees in the last six hours with a drop of 45 percentage points within the same window.

Some of you may have seen World War Two photos of soldiers wearing heavy coats during the North African Desert campaign. The above tells why.
