It has been a few days since I last posted something, and I apologize for that. However, I was reminded of a quote from one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors yesterday because of all the intensely differing stuff that I’ve been doing and learning. The quote? Here it is:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, give orders, take orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” -Robert Heinlein
I have certainly been living up to his proclamation in the last few days. Lately, I’ve been patching dry wall, replacing light fixtures, laying out new flooring, re-ordering the placement of electrical sockets, building the foundations for a deck, learning Python (a scripting language that is very efficient and something that I’m going to use from now on when it comes to SQL database searches), writing a book review (For a book by Terry Goodkind, I’ll post it later), manipulating images with the GIMP for inclusion of future articles on this blog, changing spark plugs on my car, changing the oil on the car (might as well, I was already out there and had the items to do so), applying for my new classes this quarter, making gourmet Salmon meals for my neighbors this past weekend (I live in the Pacific Northwest, and some of the salmon runs are starting right now, all I can say is DELICIOUS!), hiking the Cascade Mountain range with my dog, and the list goes on and on and on. Right now, I’m back to my normal routine schedule, so I should have much more time for posting articles and such.
While I prep the next article on the question of Christianity and Slavery, why don’t you good fellows check out this clip from Hardball? I find it sad that the GOP hasn’t even bothered to change their talking points yet. The points of talking that they concocted a while ago were false sounding when they first came out, and now their is no excuse for them to keep on spouting the same false, misleading messages. Now that it seems the corporate owned media is back on track for bringing public accountability to this administration, albeit in extremely limited amounts, maybe we will see some more progress in getting the truth out, coming up with a plan for bringing or men and women home safely, and prosecuting the war profiteers who put our nations service members in jeopardy. (Kellog, Root, and Brown as well as Khaki International, I’m looking right at you!!!)
