FARENHEIT 451




 70 years late.......it's no longer meaningful......on its dangerous demise in the parking lot of the old Georgia Mental Health parking lot:......up in flames! No time to scoop up the ashes before Parson's Ministry Of Truth's Junior Spies blow their plastic whistles......So the Funeral Urn of the last Mid Century remains empty.......Perhaps I should just fill it with wet paint that will never dry with its 'lid on'......There was the option of rolling it up and smoking it, but there was surely lots of lead and cadmium in the dry pigments.....Don't even think about there having been any other options!.... My call!

Thoughts on 'The Unique's Coalescence With Uniform Content': Each of us, in intimate self-contemplation, thinks himself unique, singular, knowing and right; yet, we congregate like lemmings, who...not so unlike dragon lizards.....inflate this part or that or this thought o...

on the screen for a couple of seconds, before Samantha Bee's FULL FRONTAL show, each week.....a little message from Chuck Lorre.....applicable at any time, to a number of situational considerations......{a scene from the film, DARLING, came to mind.....wherein Julie Christie loses her 'cool'....the 'escalator scene'}....[although I've not seen the film in several decades].......an example of how the aging brain's storage and retrieval mechanisms operate.......whereas, a scene from a film that I watched, only yesterday, has found no lodging place within my cerebral foldings....already congested with words and images, whole constructs of thought processing, embedded associational linkages and rationalizing tinker-toys.....constantly reformatted, like plastic molecules, filling the weak chemical bonds of ideational memory....Now, back to listening to the 'worth a penny' buck being passed around during this morning's Senate Hearings.......each snoll...
