Hi <shrug> One time I was in my old home town, visited my Mom, and some remaining friends.

    Nice to see someone likes the Greek terms .other than our general English ones Agape (original Greek) ' affection ' Eros - for the longer story see * Also ; Philia - ' brotherly love' . Philautia - ' self love ' . Now here we get REAL interesting. It needs to be understood in the old sense . Its something we have lost in many modern societies, and it means more than some modern definitions that seem negative. Also it is tied in with old meaning of 'soul' . another concept and function that has suffered * . But ' recently ' some western disciplines have seen its worth ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-love#Mental_health It also explains why many 'tribal / indigenous ' people have that classic ' happiness ' , although ' poor' and 'primitive '' . * 'Soul ' / Psyekhe and Eros ( ' Ego' ) dynamic ; https://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/Psykhe.html

    When I worked in the film industry , my name ( everyone was given some silly or strange 'nickname ' ) was Dr Bacon . My boss even made me wear a Dr Bacon name tag . I was introduced to all sorts of people ( grunts, directors , Keanu Reeves, Pamela Anderson, Hugo Weaving .....) and they all ; Why was I called Dr Bacon ? Well, thats a rather yukky story .

    No way ! That IS impossible ! Oh ... well, when you put it like that you do have a point . Yes, maybe you where right after all . Thank you for expanding my viewpoint and understanding . I think I will now change my mind about this . Resistance is futile ? Hmmm ... maybe I agree with that too .

  12. Road Trip 2

    Ahhhhh ... a night in my own bed . Its sooo dry and dusty here . I noticed no dust 'over there' , the wind blowing in from the ocean. Also no dust on the roads, those sand roads are grains of minerals , thats how I saw 5 colours of sands on the beach . Also a lot of it has blow away a long time ago and the heavier stuff remains . At home and other places, there is a lot of clay about, that gets pulverised to a fine powder eventually and - dust . My house is full of it as its been so dry . And the fires .... YIKES ! ( see my other thread )

    Does it happen when you are standing, or walking , etc . ? Can you do a task with ' empty mind ' ? I find my mind 'uncluttered' and clear and 'not thinking' when I am doing certain things I enjoy . But only those things I am well practised at . At sword training some times I have observed some people have difficulty with ' 4th principle ' (air ) - ' no mind ' ... always being distracted , talking chatting , etc . I advise them that if they cannot have ' clear mind ' to at least try for a mind of ' clear blue sky' .
  14. Road Trip 2

    And finally ... I hit the monstrosity of Perth subs ..... get to an intersection, cars everywhere and a siren , a girl is getting pulled out of a car ... Oh no, an accident ! I stop to help, as the ambulance has not arrived yet . But then I see no cars are damaged , some have blue lights flashing inside them and the people running around have strange all blue suits on (not uniforms of any type I have seen before ) with small 'Police' patches on them . They drag the girl over to the bushes and cuck her on the ground and now they are puling the driver out and cuffing him. He has the requisite facial tatts going down around his neck, long baggy shorts and cap . Then while waiting to check in some foreign undercover guys ( huge African guy with a mohican hairdo and a white guy with long hair and a beard are frog maching a cuffed V nasty looking guy through check in , with another at the front and two behind . must be a big catch that one - extradition ? Then two uniformed federal police rush through . Good Lawd ! Cant wait to get home and away from here ... Perth Then I flicked through a news paper lying around .... a gun store was robbed , over 100 guns floating around out there somewhere , great. A story about how all welfare payments should be 100% 'vouchers' ... a story abut how great neat and clean Perth is ... and then a sex add for a sexy time with twins in huge bold type in the classified column . Eye yi yi ! Me 'waiting' in airport departure lounge ;

  18. Road Trip 2

    The 'last leg' just before the horror and devastation oft the modern sterile and bland northern expansion of Perth into its beautiful coastline . I'm driving along and getting glimpses of coastal dunes and vegetation and shacks ... and 'shack villages', most look abandoned, so I went down a short road to one . " Grey' it was called . WOW what a place . There are 'squatters camps ' , preserved by law under federal constitution. But they cant be passed on . When all the old bum squatter beachies and fisherman die , I guess they will be taken over for 'development ' . I walked around for a bit and checked it out , water storage, solar hot water heaters , small wind generators, solar panels , all looks abandon . One place had walls made of old road signs and and speed limit signs ( naughty ! ) And the coast there is some of the best coast I have been to ! Whoever owns them and visits is V lucky, I could live there for a bit ... beats a resort any day for me ! Then another one called Wedge a bit further south .

    No I shouldn't . Wild animals should not be 'petted' . Only tame domestic friendly ones . I learnt that when I had a much younger Latino girl friend
