GWDF2 D14a Nov 2012, 2-3 day Book Slowdown. Being 'Schooled' by the DNC convention -
I sure didn't anticipate this, but I'm allowing myself to divert several days now to being 'schooled' but what I'm finding to be brilliant, humane, scholarly, substantial speeches at the DNC, on:
And this will divert me from Book 2, that I've been crawling toward for years now - bringing the Carbon portion of the brilliant, cursed, convoluted, inspired - Plan B 3.0 by Dr. Lester Brown to the same 'Actionable Essentials' treatment I just gave Dr. Hansen's work.
If I had 10,000 more lives, seriously, I know how to get this big stuff fixed. But with just this one? Not looking good.
But I'll keep doing my best.

GWDF2 D14b Abdominal pain fully returned. Huh?
What is going on? For 2 or 3 days it was in remission for the first time in months.
Now it is fully back, tho not like that night that sent me to the ER, yet.
Damn. I'll not go back to the doc because it seems too likely that she's sending shrinks after me, as a matter of protocol, I suspect, for being on Death Fast and refusing the tests that are indicated.
Doc Cardile is a dear, and the shrinks aren't bad, but, heck, how could they be better than the rest of our societal Matrix? I'm just street person. I'm someone that has rejected the Matrix and has to be 'helped' back into it. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," all over again.
Uh, no. Not on my watch.
I'll just deal with the pain.
Not much longer now.
