Shiny Floors...

I understand the necessity of keeping the floors clean and shiny, but putting out warning signs to tell everyone that they are slippery? Why do they have to be so slippery? I understand the ascetics of the clean, fresh appearance for the "Clean Room" effect. In our plant, we have over 2000+ people that work here and lots of them go up the stairs to the Fab area. We have three flights of stairs with about 20 steps in them. They have placed signs out saying to hold onto the rails as they might be slippery. That is CRAZY!! Making the stairs that slippery is just a lawsuit in the making. With as many people that go up and down them, one would think that they would want to keep them clean with enough friction so that people can walk them without the chance of falling.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program…

Buttermilk Trail System...

Mark and I got in a 7.8 mile ride on the trail system yesterday evening. It was a good ride and i liked the trails better then i had before. I will hope to be able to ride them again soon as they are very challenging and the hardest trails that i have ever ridden on. They are 4 sections and some are harder than others. The first time i rode them i hated them, but my skills have improved more and i was able to ride them better.

The cosmic perspective

You know what is very cool?  Mr. Tyson replied to my email that I sent to him on Thursday night.  With respect to Mr. Tyson, I left his email out. Here is the email that he responded to about.  It, to me, speaks volumes about his character.  In the grand scheme of things, I am no one, just a person that aspires to be a blogger and to get my name out.  My. Tyson  is a world renound PhD in Astrophysics that goes on the lecture circuit and helps humankind.  For him to respond to me is just amazing in my book and it is the highest praise that I could receive.  He could have been like take down the story that you published of mine, but instead, he thanked me for it.  I emailed him to be courteous to let him know that I used his story with the thought that I would not get a response from him. I did and that speaks volumes to me…

Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood

over questions of reality and illusion.

I know this: if life is an illusion, then I

am no less an illusion, and being thus, the

illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I

love, I slay, and I am content.
