Sylectra Darwin: I am sorry to hear that - I forget where you say you are? Remind me?
Multiverse1 Resident: not of any concern, and typically harmless then
Sylectra Darwin: I am in the New York City region and had to endure the nasty cold wind ripping down the city blocks, with no trees to stop it and buildings to channel it stronger.
Multiverse1 Resident: New Hampshire, New England, USA, of the same world though
Sylectra Darwin: hah!

Multiverse1 Resident: You can have ours
Multiverse1 Resident: the wind
Multiverse1 Resident: is what is the thing
Multiverse1 Resident: can take your breath away
Multiverse1 Resident: mother my nature
Sylectra Darwin: Yes, I have a hard time maintaining my composure when it's windy - it feels to me like a separate entity, harassing at my hair and clothes
Multiverse1 Resident: an entity while it lasts
Sylectra Darwin: Well, we have a nice gentle snow here in the Playgoda :)
Multiverse1 Resident: a butterflys wings
Multiverse1 Resident: or dragonfly if some prefer
Multiverse1 Resident: the butterfly effect
Multiverse1 Resident: do you know of this? stevie?

stevenaia Michinaga: I know of the buterfly affect yes
Multiverse1 Resident: no , for they are short lived
Sylectra Darwin: I know of the butterfly effect
Multiverse1 Resident: dragonflies are harmless to us humans
Multiverse1 Resident: horseflys BITE!
stevenaia Michinaga: suck blood
Multiverse1 Resident: yes. food
Sylectra Darwin: I had a big red dragonfly land on my hand once. I wasn't sure if it would bite, but I wanted a photo of it so I took a chance.
Multiverse1 Resident: imagine being a piece of food to an insect
stevenaia Michinaga: When I lived in Michigan, Black flies had their own season
Multiverse1 Resident: a dragonfly will not bite a person to my knowledge
Multiverse1 Resident: and mayflies here, a mere nusence
--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: aren;t they light and fluffy?
Multiverse1 Resident: Dragon flys are Beautiful
Multiverse1 Resident: they live only one of our days

stevenaia Michinaga: I remember
stevenaia Michinaga: you can be anything here
stevenaia Michinaga: even just you
Multiverse1 Resident: not the same onne
Sylectra Darwin: From wikipedia: Dragonflies are some of the fastest insects in the world. Dragonflies are valuable predators that eat mosquitoes, and other small insects like flies, bees, ants, wasps, and very rarely butterflies.

Multiverse1 Resident: Have you heard of those in Nome Alaska, waiting for a million gallons of Diesel fuel, and 400,000 gallons of gasoline?

Marvin Macbain: yes, a randomly chosen alliterative name
Multiverse1 Resident: nice
Marvin Macbain: I did not take more than 2 minutes to choose it
Marvin Macbain: I did not plan on being here very long.
Marvin Macbain: Or very seriously.
Multiverse1 Resident: well welcome to "not seriously"
Marvin Macbain: Are you a new-new avatar, or a new-old avatar?
Tess Aristocrat: haha..I didn't plan long on my name either, as you can see, it is in the 'A's
Multiverse1 Resident: I am 18,945 days pld on this planet
Multiverse1 Resident: old
Marvin Macbain: but how about on SL?
Marvin Macbain: Or is that the planet you are talking about?
Multiverse1 Resident: bout 3 months
Multiverse1 Resident: you, really?
Marvin Macbain: some people leave and come back as new avatars. that's what I mean by "new old"
Multiverse1 Resident: I will guess here
Multiverse1 Resident: 1203 in sl, is my guess Marvin
Marvin Macbain: me? you can see my avatar dates from 2008
Multiverse1 Resident: no I am me, I do these things
Marvin Macbain: a bit over 3 years
--BELL--
Multiverse1 Resident: 1000 then
Tess Aristocrat: I thought you were 14,230 days old....
Multiverse1 Resident: for instance, I have taken 97 second breaks for 30 years
Marvin Macbain: so what sort of place is this, would you say? hang out here a lot Tess & Multiverse?
Multiverse1 Resident: I explore and wander
Multiverse1 Resident: your welcome bell
Marvin Macbain: 97 seconds sounds like a nice sized break
Tess Aristocrat: It's a good place to 'be' and to reflect aloud
Multiverse1 Resident: I have done this, for at least 10,000 days
Multiverse1 Resident: That is why I came here.
Multiverse1 Resident: 100 days or so ago
Multiverse1 Resident: hmm, the way we measure tyme indeed
Multiverse1 Resident: when I say tyme with a y it meanes " spacetime" , because time in itself does not exist without spce. Therefore I will always spell tyme.
Multiverse1 Resident: the here and now
Tess Aristocrat: does it matter whether it has a y or an i ?
Multiverse1 Resident: tyme has no real direction you see
Multiverse1 Resident: you just point and it will follow
Multiverse1 Resident: to me yes, time does not exist without sace, so to clarify my self, I must insist on sopacetyme
Marvin Macbain: tyme is one letter short of spice
Multiverse1 Resident: It is as simple as your x, y z , axis in sl, or, rl, but you add Z
Tess Aristocrat: you made a funny
Multiverse1 Resident: spacrtyme
Marvin Macbain: In situations like this, I try.
Multiverse1 Resident: or " time" for you
Multiverse1 Resident: tyme for me
Multiverse1 Resident: spacetime
Multiverse1 Resident: the here and now miss, which is now the past
Tess Aristocrat: Speaking of time, I watched David Gilmour on tv tonight
Multiverse1 Resident: however, the future " will"b ethere
Marvin Macbain: Please help me identify him without googling
Tess Aristocrat: Pink Floyd
Marvin Macbain: ok

Tess Aristocrat: He's still making great songs
Marvin Macbain: what format, interview? concert?
Multiverse1 Resident: It's about an hour ago
Tess Aristocrat: yes
Marvin Macbain: Let me guess... PBS fundraiser?
Marvin Macbain: I almost could expect Pink Floyd on some such thing nowadays...
Tess Aristocrat: gosh..could have been..I'm not sure
Marvin Macbain: though I guess that waltz guy is more common
