http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-31711446 i think he was looking for a lunch special and ended up being taken for a ride

we have true robins here, not just those fair weather types and blue jays have returned to my life. a couple of weeks ago, on a fair day, in between wintry storms, i decided to take advantage of the weather and take a walk. before i left the apartment i heard the crows all cacacawing kraih ca-kraing and i am certain the crow will never desert me. but the blue jays had. what happened? idk, they were basically an ever present totem for much of my life, but this past year they were scarcely around. i think they had left before the raven showed up, idk, anyways, i walk from campus to richmond and as i approach the boundary, i hear the sweetest little chirp and i see across the street in a tree barren of leaves of course, a young blue jay. this was a very unusual sound from a jay bird. then he flies ahead of me and lights in a tree i am walking under, then he flies back across the street, lands in another tree that has 3 other blue jay and they "sing" up a ruckus, not the screeching Jay! Jay! sound at all, but a very sweet musical melody. just a few younger blue jays out and about and letting me know they had not forgotten about me. they also want me to tell you that it is a bad rap they have about eating robin eggs, they do not do that. sure there may be a small criminal element,less than 1% who are deviant and eat robin eggs, but over 99% of them do not.

afterall, it is just another wonderful day with dao long live the dao bums

what threat? i certainly have not threatened anyone. goodness

ThisLife, "somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole,,, on ITV and BBC they talk about the curse philosophy is useless theology is worse,,, but I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest" your reply to my post, #3 , true , true #1, fair question. #2 however, idk, the use of "all" and "entirely" automatically discredits imo and besides "braying in solitude in the wilderness" is under appreciated, largely misunderstood, and way under rated. so, "This thread works the magic on its own " , ok, what does not work magic?

how does the speed of dark relate ? i think that would be more interesting than the worn out ragged speed of light chat. there are 8 trigrams of which everything is composed...... enticement is for suckering one into something, probably not desirable, really. at best a honey trap. gems and nuggets are often found hidden away in some mundane plain brown paper bag sorta thing. where you least expect to find them.

the random banner links to wiki is nice. the first one i noticed was baguazhang i have looked at a few of those now. taijiquan, daojia, ziran, zuowang so far.

i think it is happy valley, oregon. looks like a cool venue

heidegger's Being and Time, comes to mind

you can certainly draw a crowd ! 5 in chat, wow, i didnt even know that was possible.

i like this one and can see what vincent van gogh must have seen. does it not look like a combination of Starry Night and Wheatfield With Crows ?

ima little slow ya know. dont see me riding on brooms etc, sure looks fun tho

@ct, i first saw the photo while i was reading this thread , so i posted for the sake of synchronicity. it came from http://www.neatorama.com/2015/02/12/Buddhist-Monks-Playing-Quidditch/ aslo, i would prefer to keep my name zerostao

"I've been getting a bit more serious with my Mandarin studies" its good to be serious and disciplined, otherwise who knows what may end up flying around,,,,,
