54 degrees this morning, walk 48:18 minutes.
Not sure if I made a mistake this morning on timing my walk, or if I am walking a lot slower getting back into walking! I walked the “full route” this morning that I walked in about 36 minutes several weeks ago! I’ll see. The wind is strong again this morning, but I don’t think it is that strong!
As I become more familiar with the neighborhood, I become even more impressed with the planning principles contained in our subdivision.
Planning principles contained in the subdivision include lots of open space, no driveways backing into main streets, of course walking and bicycling trails, strategic community resources (community swimming pool, neighborhood meeting rooms and exercise facilities, good use of trees for privacy etc.
It is also designed to minimize through traffic and, to some degree, to discourage through traffic.
Listening to a book on the development of philosophy. Sometimes I wonder how they had the time (and money) dwell on such ideas.
One philosopher didn’t eat meat because he believed in reincarnation and he was scared he would end up eating a friend or relative! I guess it does make sense if you believe that human beings may reincarnate into an animal!
On the other hand, as I am learning from listening to the book, any time of thinking can be extended.
For example, one argued that a flying arrow is “never” in motion because it actually occupies a set place in space at any point in time, it is just different spaces. I don’t think I buy that, although I can see where you could argue such a case.
Of course, one (correctly) stated you can never get int the same river twice, since the water is always moving and the river is never physically the same water.
Of course, you could say that about almost anything, since even dirt is gradually changing, you just can’t see the minute changes!
While I don’t pretend to understand everything I listen to in this book, it is interesting to watch the building blocks of our current thinking at its earliest, crudest form.
The NCAA tournament continues lending credence to the belief that nothing can be predicted! It is interesting how different teams and people rise to the occasion, so to speak. Especially considering the ages of the people involved.
Since we tape the games, I have to be careful even looking at my iPhone to avoid seeing the score! It is especially difficult to do during the NCAA tournament due to the widespread interest.
Another dream, again I have no idea why I would have such a dream.
3-25-16: Dream
Dream was having a family reunion somewhere, or at least a get together almost like a place we lived years ago..
Dreamed I was working on something on the computer and people stated to gather.
Everyone in my family was there, at least was mentioned at some point.
I keep on working on the computer (apparently for something for everyone else. )
I started watching the computer through a “4 d” device (or maybe a “virtual reality” type of device. It was a device like a transparent helmet.
In the dream I was not ever social, not anti-social either, I was trying to demonstrate something for at least several people on the computer.
That’s it for now, Saturday, March 26, 2016.
