The Guardian for this meeting was Adams Rubble. The comments are by Adams Rubble.

I arrived late from a dentist appointment. I had warned Riidle and he kindly waited for me.

Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: Morning, Adams
Adams Rubble: Sorry I am late and thanks for waiting
Riddle Sideways: how was the Dentist visit?
Adams Rubble: It was OK

Bicycling Mindfully

Adams Rubble: I had an interesting bicycle ride home through town and realized I was biking mindfully
Adams Rubble: aware of everything
Adams Rubble: it was kind of special
Riddle Sideways: wow, great
Adams Rubble: I could even see myself biking through town
Adams Rubble: It is warm but not oppressive today
Adams Rubble: so much greeen
Adams Rubble: and me and my clean teeth (giggles)
Riddle Sideways: be careful of bugs in clean teeth
Adams Rubble: even thinking that I do not want to crash and knock my clean teeth out

Back to Riddle and then the Debates

Adams Rubble: are you all settled in
Riddle Sideways: mostly
Adams Rubble: watching the debates?
Riddle Sideways: nephew is visiting, so instead of moving piles from one place to another am going out walking

Adams Rubble:  :)
Riddle Sideways: well, yes watched both nights of debates
Riddle Sideways: did you watch?
Adams Rubble: I found out that we do not have a subscription to CNN in our TV package
Adams Rubble: I watched Tuesday's debate on Youtube yesterday
Adams Rubble: I did see a running commentary last night
Adams Rubble: seems once again that the first debate was the ideas debate and the second night was the angry attack debate
Riddle Sideways: a lot of somebody: "In my Plan" other: "Your plan is wrong"
Adams Rubble: Dr Warren has lots and lots of plans
Riddle Sideways: They all had Plans
Riddle Sideways: Plans that had the good parts of your Plan without those bad parts
Adams Rubble sings "This plan is my plan, this plan is your plan, from California to the NJ highlands....
Riddle Sideways: good song
Riddle Sideways: last night's second round was even more arguing
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: I once walked with Obama, I am his friend, we worked together, we layed together, we ate together, we had a plan together
Adams Rubble: played, not layed
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: upon reflection, there were 2 times about last night's debate
Adams Rubble listens
Riddle Sideways: 1. each person put in something that made one sit up and say "hey that was good and different" and give them a point
Adams Rubble: that's a good thing
Riddle Sideways: 2. they took turns picking on one person for a while, then moved to attacking another one. They all got practice being attacked
Adams Rubble: it is so nice to hear people talk about how to solve problems in our country again
Riddle Sideways: oh yes, that was refreshing
Riddle Sideways: CNN put the text of the question that the moderator had asked at the bottom of the screen while the debator was not answering it
Riddle Sideways: for the viewer to review
Adams Rubble: how thoughtful of them
Riddle Sideways: Really enjoyed the Author candidate that solved everything with Love
Riddle Sideways: "All you need is Love, da da da da Da"
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: all in all, pretty good entertainment
Adams Rubble: someone told me she is an antivaxer but I don;t know that
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, that did not come up
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: feel bad that there were 3-4 candidates that did not 'look' presidental
Adams Rubble: whew, I looked it up and she made statements to that effect but is trying to deny she said them
Adams Rubble: hmmm, who does that sound like?
Riddle Sideways: try very hard not to judge people by looks, but would have trouble with 4+ years of that person's face
Adams Rubble: I have a theory that the country was sick of hearing Hillary by the time the election happened
Riddle Sideways: good theory
Riddle Sideways: then again, was sick of all the voices by then
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: and it might be longer this time
Adams Rubble: our campaigns are way too long
Adams Rubble: still 5 months away from the first primaries

New California Law

Riddle Sideways: did you hear of the new California law?
Adams Rubble: no
Riddle Sideways: to be in the Primary every candidates IRS tax forms must be on public display
Riddle Sideways: passed and signed a couple days ago
Adams Rubble: hmmm

Drifting Off

Riddle Sideways: drifted off to check that
Adams Rubble drifted off to Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries Riding through my head
Riddle Sideways: big music
Adams Rubble: the little one likes it
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: found it, playing now
Adams Rubble: I haven't been sleeping right the past few nights and my nind wanders
Riddle Sideways: sorry, for the not sleeping, but mind wanderings are good things
Riddle Sideways: funny, this version of Wagner had an owl hooting
Riddle Sideways: darn SL
Adams Rubble sings "Mothers don;t let your daughters grow up to be Valkyries...
Adams Rubble: there is a Met version and a Copenhagen version with the Valkyries. In the Met version they have sliding boards

Another Hero Debunked

Riddle Sideways: oh finally remember what was going to mention. Read the Mr. Dewey Decimal system was stripped of some award for being a bad person
Adams Rubble: huh?
Adams Rubble: Mr Dewey?
Riddle Sideways: Melvil Dewey
Adams Rubble: that was ages ago
Riddle Sideways: oh right, June 28
Adams Rubble: no I meant Mr Dewey was ages ago
Riddle Sideways: yes, he was bad long ago. The Am. Library Assn. just caught up on it
Adams Rubble: they work fast
Riddle Sideways: and talk quietly
Adams Rubble: I just read some and am floored
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: the things one learns in PaB
Riddle Sideways: should not include links, don't want to upset other readers that are librarians
Adams Rubble is a library of Congress person so no worries
Riddle Sideways: seems hard to read the work 'Congress' these days
Adams Rubble: hmmm
Riddle Sideways: a Mitch Mcconell type person that won't let some books be brought up
Riddle Sideways: no! that would not happen
Adams Rubble: well most librarians tend to be fair minded--in any case that is the goal
Riddle Sideways: ha, your dress keeps changing colors
Adams Rubble wonders who else will turn out to be a scoundrel
Adams Rubble: it was good to see you this morning. Thanks so much for waiting
Riddle Sideways: was just reading of the White House blocking intelligence agency's testimony re: climate change
Riddle Sideways: can't have that in the Congressional Records
Adams Rubble shakes head sadly
Riddle Sideways: yes
Adams Rubble: I think it turned out to be a good thing that tyhere were so many candidates talking about solutions
Adams Rubble: now to sort them all out
Riddle Sideways: now to sort out which black or white dress you should wear :))
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: black on white or white on black
Adams Rubble: so many choices
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: so many candidates
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: I have picked a few that I wish would go away
Riddle Sideways: yes, some
Adams Rubble: I have discovered that my heart is with the progressives
Riddle Sideways: On that, should be going away.
Adams Rubble: no my head, I am not sure
Adams Rubble: on not no
Adams Rubble: about my head

I Go Off on a Rant about a Metaphor for the Election

Adams Rubble: In Hinduism there was monster that none of the gods could kill
Adams Rubble: for various reasons the mosnter was immune to them
Adams Rubble: so they decided to create a goddess with powers from each of them
Adams Rubble: Her name was Durga
Adams Rubble: and she was fearsome
Adams Rubble: she killed all the soldiers in the monsters army and then killed him
Adams Rubble: but she could not stop
Adams Rubble: she went around the battlefield eating corpses and drinking blood
Adams Rubble: the gods did not know how to stop her
Adams Rubble: there the story has two endings
Adams Rubble: In one Shiva takes off his clothes and lies down in the battlefield
Adams Rubble: when Durga comes up to him she is overcome with his beauty and comes to her senses
Adams Rubble: in the second version, the gods throw her a baby
Adams Rubble: she starts to nurse the baby and comes to her sense
Adams Rubble: well first we need to find our Durga and after the election throw her a baby

Riddle Sideways: ok, that will be the plan
Adams Rubble has heard too many stories :)
Adams Rubble: I hope you have a very nice day and weekend
Riddle Sideways: and hope you do too
Adams Rubble: the next two weeks we will not be babysitting on Tuesdays but may use the opportunity to go to sandy Hook
Riddle Sideways: ah, fun
Adams Rubble: we have never been there in the summer
Adams Rubble: always go in the other seasons
Adams Rubble: thank you again for waiting today
Adams Rubble: hard to believe about Dewey
Riddle Sideways: np
Adams Rubble: hope Admiral dewey wasn't a scumbag
Riddle Sideways: kinda hate that "np" or "no problem" response
Adams Rubble: should I edit it out?
Riddle Sideways: alright, back to life
Riddle Sideways: or that other life
