Ever get the feeling you've nothing left to say? And don't feel like saying it? I do, once or twice a year. That's when I give up blogging once and for all, like in the fall of 2005, two months after starting the blog. If a man can't say all he has to say in two months, then--
Wordiness is not an excess of words, but a dearth of ideas.
The deluded are prolix.
In each post I try to present ideas as concisely as possible. It just looks prolix, because there are 5,300 posts. Still, it would be nice to boil it all down to a series of aphorisms, maybe even numbered, so one can ascend stepwise from one truth to the next. Let me think about how to do that and get back to you....

ReplyDeleteYes, I know that feeling. Sometimes pure inactive Slack is in order.

ReplyDeleteGood evening dear One Cosmos community all. Please enjoy the hiatus.
ReplyDeleteI have been assigned as ordnance officer on a PPF cutter out of Lake Havasu City. Apparently pirates now ply the Colorado and have come ashore at Laughlin and hit two casinos and fire-bombed a convenience store. There is a fear that they might come downstream and attack Bullhead City, Parker or Lake Havasu City. They hit and run Viking style. They have also stolen watercraft out on the water in the river and lake and have made some unlucky occupants swim for it. Walking the plank, eh? Argggh. Wonderful. Lake Havasu has got to be the hottest place in the USA.
If we get our hands on pirates we shall sweat them for the truth. This predation has got to be about more than money; there is probably a militia angle. The Colorado river has been the site of factional unrest since 2019 and it just won't simmer down.
Jesus take the wheel.
