Riddle Sideways: hmm, can't return Eden's "Flight Feather" object that is that green text over yonder.

Riddle Sideways: then there are meetings that take an hour or more to pile more action items on you

Adams Rubble: I wasted time this morning finding out why the new guy on SNL got fired

Adams Rubble: SNL

Riddle Sideways: speaking of time wasters... found https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/s...ign=pockethits
Adams Rubble snickers

Riddle Sideways: well, so many comics are outrageous
Adams Rubble: I'm not even going to look at that this week
Riddle Sideways: nope
Riddle Sideways: file it away
Adams Rubble: it is not outrageousness
Adams Rubble: it is appealing to the lowest of the low
Riddle Sideways: somebody on SNL staff thought to try it
Riddle Sideways: should not comment, have not seen the clips

Adams Rubble: Our commission finished up its work on the anti-Semetism resolution
Riddle Sideways: oh, done with those meetings
Adams Rubble: we seem to have not split apart
Riddle Sideways: did your voice help?
Adams Rubble: yes, in the end it did
Riddle Sideways: great
Adams Rubble: it is now out of our hands

Riddle Sideways: and there is an election today in Israel
Adams Rubble: yes, trying not to think about that
Riddle Sideways: maybe that will change things
Adams Rubble: we'll see- it will still be a right wing government but maybe not as reckless

Riddle Sideways: how does a Resolution work? is it on the books forever? or can be taken away?
Adams Rubble: I am worn out
Riddle Sideways: yes, bet you are
Adams Rubble: it is a recommendation to the council
Adams Rubble: they've got the power
Adams Rubble tries to think about a power joke but does not come through
Riddle Sideways: That Absolute power corrupts jokes absolutely, nope not funny
Adams Rubble thinks wow, fast 15 minites
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: like a Power Nap, a Power Joke could be a short punch line, that everybody quick laughs and then back to the meetings ?

Adams Rubble: it is a problem when politicians are not wise enough to see why they were elected
Adams Rubble: sorry of that was cryptic but it was at the crux of our problem
Riddle Sideways: yes, the crux of so many of our problems
Riddle Sideways: well, that started so much private thinking
Riddle Sideways: drifted right off
Adams Rubble: yes, my mind is racing as well

Adams Rubble: I need to find a peaceful spot again
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, where did we put that?
Adams Rubble: Pema would say it has been here all the time :)
Adams Rubble: (very nice lead in question, Riddle)

Riddle Sideways: ha, the cat just came over to remind that petting a cat is The Peaceful Place
Adams Rubble: the cat agenda
Adams Rubble: I was out painting this morning and an outdoor cat walked by the front of the garage and looked in
Adams Rubble: then walked away
Adams Rubble: hoards of blue jays were following it screeching furiously
Riddle Sideways: just checking if you needed a cat there
Adams Rubble: or blue jays
Riddle Sideways: oh, a hiding place
Adams Rubble: hey, can you do anything about these damned birds?
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: back, from looking out window at peaceful meadow
Riddle Sideways: no turkeys, no deer, no Jays
Riddle Sideways: very peaceful pause and more
Adams Rubble: :)

Riddle Sideways: many mental tidbits trying to grab hold
Riddle Sideways: but passing them by

Riddle Sideways: a stranger came by this sim yesterday
Riddle Sideways: was interested in deep intellectual conversations
Riddle Sideways: got wondering if this session is going to get to those ㋡
Riddle Sideways: seems nicest to just sit peacefully
Riddle Sideways: little gems of chat
Riddle Sideways: instead of large diamonds
Riddle Sideways: found
Riddle Sideways: (please rearrange all words to form sense)
Riddle Sideways: a new form of Power Chat. No need to explain things completely
Riddle Sideways: just say a few words and each drifts off in thoughts

Adams Rubble: sometimes "intellectual conversation" is used for discourse that obfuscates knowledge, context, spirit and undestanding
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: hmmm
Adams Rubble: I am afraid I must go do some stuff
Adams Rubble: thank you for being here and hosting

Riddle Sideways: just heard Cokie Roberts died
