A new direction.

Although I have not exhausted the numerous books on string theory and quantum mechanics, I've decided it's time for a rest. Yesterday I stopped in at the local bookstore to see what was available. I found Richard Dawkins new book about evolution. I accept the reality of evolution like I accept my own name. The book is a tour de force covering evolution from start to finish. The only problem is that iconic atheist Dawkins is English which makes reading his books like translating from a different language. I have no problem with his atheism and admit that all the words he uses are the same ones I would use, I find it difficult to follow his thinking. And the major change in topics could be causing the problem. But slog on I will. After all evolution is as inclusive as string theory. But it's not as sexy as string theory.
The gardener left the back gate open while he did what he does. Budda, with complete disregard for propriety sallied forth into the great beyond (to him). I found him when I nearly stepped on him as he slept in front of the front door. I scared him when I came out so he ran off and hid under my car. No amount of cajoling would tempt him out as I called. He knew that I knew where he was but refused to join me. So I went inside and left the door open. No sooner had I gotten comfortable than Budda came strolling inside through he open door as if this were an every day occurrence. Bless his heart. So the world is complete again.
Completeness is proof that we're all on this flight together.
