UNPREDICTABLE. . but spring time in NY is a most sensuous time. . . so ripe for new beginnings. uhhhmmmm MY favorite time of year. This year I saw my first robin on March 18th. I put it on the calendar. this year we had an early spring.

(Promoter of good environmental) Hi Gene, I read this about the year 1906 earlier this week: "There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads." Comparing this number of paved roads and cars to what we have now... just look at Google Earth... leads me to believe we are an infection of the planet rather than just living as a helpful part of the planet. The earth will heal itself, and global warming is like a fever in response to this infection in my opinion. I have to wonder if the hurricanes and malignant melanoma with loss of the protective ozone layer are perhaps also part of an immune response the earth is mounting? I do think the microcosm of what goes on in the human body bears resemblance to what goes on in the macrocosm of the environment and visa versa. The earth is not just our mother that birthed us and set us out on our own. It is more like the whole of what we are, like the body is to the cell. So, what kind of cell are we? Are we like E. coli producing vitamin K and living symbiotically in the intestine or have we become like E. coli multiplying rapidly in the blood causing sepsis? We could live as symbionts. But the conquer mentality is more like a pathogen rather than a symbiont. Thank the good earth for Joni, Neil Young, John Michael Talbot, the Dixie Chicks, Kate Bennett, you? etc. whose music is good medicine in this pathogenic madness. I hope the medicine works before the immune response kills us all or the earth becomes so imbalanced it dies. I really doubt the later will happen because I do trust the earth has the potential for a hell of an immune response before it succumbs.

Also, I've asked everyone's opinions on this subject a while back about doing a mid-week thing. Most people responded that it was better for them to do something over a weekend as they would not have to take as much time off work. Also, as was mentioned before, the airfare prices are MUCH lower that time of year. As much as I'd like to, I know I won't be able to please everyone with timing, location, food, etc., etc., etc. so, I am going with the March-April dates and streaming forward. I do sincerely hope it works for as many people as possible!! :-D Hugs, Ashara ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 13:27:04 -0400 From: "Jim L'Hommedieu, Lama" Subject: Close call in Ontario, CA, njc Whoa, I'm glad the good guys arrested the bad guys in the plot to bomb a government building in Ontario, Canada. Our own Catherine McKay works in a government building in Toronto, so this represents another close call for the JMDL. (Remember when everyone flew out of Logan Field only days before the 911 attack?) Catherine, I'm glad you're safe, at least for now. All the best, Jim L'Hommedieu Dayton, OH, US PS, The terrorists in Ontario were found with three times the amount of explosives that produced this damage http://author.senescence.info/thoughts/rule.html in Oklahoma City, nine years ago. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 4 Jun 2006 13:57:36 -0400 (EDT) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: Close call in Ontario, CA, njc - --- "Jim L'Hommedieu, Lama" wrote: > Whoa, I'm glad the good guys arrested the bad guys > in the plot to bomb a > government building in Ontario, Canada.

I think they did a really great job swooping in on these guys. Not unlike the cops did another great job a few weeks ago, swooping in on gangs in a part of Toronto notorious for that, and arresting a number of people and seizing a number of guns and, I hope, making that neighbourhood much safer for the vast majority of its residents who are just trying to raise their families as best they can. Reading about the seizing of three times as much fertilizer as was used in Oklahoma City gave me the chills. When the Oklahoma bombinb happened, my kids were at daycare in the building I worked in at the time. The building in which I worked has a section built on pillars where it would be easy for a large truck full of horrible things to drive in and possibly bring the whole thing down. I don't work in that building anymore and the one I'm in wouldn't necessarily be recognized as an official "government" one, but there is still a daycare in the building I used to work in (across the street) and I will never forget that feeling that, if it happened there, it could happen anywhere.
