    Riddle Sideways: Howdee Adams
    Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: this time restarted the (not Internetting) modem 20min before
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: Happinessssss, is a Warm Internettttt. Yes it is
    Adams Rubble likes my FIOS
    Riddle Sideways: liked the old modem
    Riddle Sideways: weather here went back to Hot
    Adams Rubble: intermittant modems not so hot
    Adams Rubble: it has been hot here too but we are getting thunderstorms today
    Adams Rubble: will keep the antifa quiet :)
    Riddle Sideways: ha
    Adams Rubble: we live in crazy times
    Riddle Sideways: it is dazzling that the Alt-Right can name all troubles on a non-group of Alt-lefties
    Adams Rubble: pack up your troubles in an old knit bag and lie, lie, lie
    Riddle Sideways: /sings along
    Riddle Sideways: a friend posted on FB a link to a Washington Post article. His brother commented out one quote from the article:
    Riddle Sideways: “It is extraordinary that a group of people who came to our country in chains came to understand the essence of Christianity and the essence of our country far better than their oppressors.”
    Adams Rubble: They saw the connection between the cross and the lynching tree
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: Sorry Pause. Was looking up the exact definition of Fascism
    Riddle Sideways: so as to understand Anti Fa
    Riddle Sideways: How dare those non-organizzed people be against the Fascists
    Adams Rubble: D-Day!
    Adams Rubble: Trump is going to hold a rally in Tulsa, the site of the Black Wall Street Riots on June 19 (Juneteenth)
    Riddle Sideways: oh dear
    Adams Rubble: Someone mentioned Nuremberg
    Riddle Sideways: Plus, the Trump-ites are Sports fans and know exactly when a guy (Buffalo 75-year old guy) takes a fall for the team to draw a penality
    Adams Rubble: those pesky senior citizen antifa
    Riddle Sideways: being pushed by police is not a falling offence
    Riddle Sideways: However, by just one word, the movement lost traction. "Defund" is so bad a thing for little minds to take
    Adams Rubble: It was an odd name for what people want to do
    Riddle Sideways: yep. Somebody coined a killer name
    Riddle Sideways: Heard a story last night about Camden N.J.
    Riddle Sideways: re-starting their Police Force
    Adams Rubble: yes
    Riddle Sideways: some years ago. During one of those Other protesting things
    Riddle Sideways: and today they have a good policing system
    Adams Rubble: Camden had its back up against the wall
    Riddle Sideways: 2013
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: for the readers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_County_Police_Department
    Riddle Sideways: Unfixable, is another phrase for back up against the wall
    Riddle Sideways: whoops! this soapbox is too high up
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: Another friend FB posted a hopeful quote:

    “Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.
    All things break.
    And all things can be mended.
    Not with time, as they say, but with intention.
    So go.
    Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.
    The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.” - L.R. Knost

    Adams Rubble: nice quote
    Riddle Sideways: to get that quote, in a copy-able form, had to go read lots of L.R. Knost quotes
    Riddle Sideways: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/5116439.L_R_Knost
    Riddle Sideways: don't read too many at any one time ㋡
    Adams Rubble: many individuals do not survive revolutions
    Riddle Sideways: save them for the sweetness
    Riddle Sideways: too late, think you just went and read them all ㋡
    --BELL--
    Adams Rubble: "Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally."
    Riddle Sideways: "things can be mended ... with intention."
    Riddle Sideways: today, will venture out into the great big world. and with other Jews, christians, muslims go peel potatoes, cook em up and serve em to the homeless
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: go forth and love :)
    Riddle Sideways: chop wood, carry water
    Riddle Sideways: build a fire. boil the water
    Riddle Sideways: cook the potatoes, pass out the meals
    Riddle Sideways: and smile and love while doing
    Riddle Sideways: extravagantly
    Adams Rubble: yaay Riddle !!!
    Riddle Sideways: No No! did not write that here to receive praise
    Riddle Sideways: whoops, no
    Riddle Sideways: not to show off the bright shiny ego
    Adams Rubble: I know but it is a good thing you do
    Riddle Sideways: or badges
    Riddle Sideways: just need to DO Something
    Riddle Sideways: stood by a highway, held a sign up and a fist. Did not feel like enough
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: PP&M - Where have all the Flowers Gone. "When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
    Adams Rubble: Pete Seegar :)
    Riddle Sideways: Tru
    Adams Rubble: I remember seeing a video of that song in a movie theater when i was in High School
    Riddle Sideways: was consentrating on the lyric
    Adams Rubble: It stuck with me all these years
    Riddle Sideways: yes!
    Riddle Sideways: it has been the sound track of the years
    Riddle Sideways: tears
    Riddle Sideways: vids of attrusicities(sp?)
    Adams Rubble: all those soldiers were given guns and they went off and killed and stomped all over other people's flowers
    Riddle Sideways: When will I ever learn
    Adams Rubble: and their young girls
    Riddle Sideways: and the repeating loop
    Adams Rubble: Thank you
    Adams Rubble: for reminding
    Riddle Sideways: BTW - only got to read the first half of your little story
    Adams Rubble: when we are in paradise there is no reason to stomp on other people's flowers
    Riddle Sideways: will go finish it soon
    Riddle Sideways: ah!
    Adams Rubble: it was a silly exercise but it has made me aware of what i am doing especially when the cats are watching
    Adams Rubble: It was kind of an attempt at subject-obnject reversal
    Riddle Sideways: was a good one
    Adams Rubble: Thank you for being here today
    Riddle Sideways: thank you for being here
    Adams Rubble: I hope you have a good day and a fine weekends
    Adams Rubble: weekend
    Riddle Sideways: must off to water a flower, get it to grow tall
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble must fly off to Muginghwa :)
    Adams Rubble looks for umbrella

    Adams Rubble: bye Riddle :)
    Riddle Sideways: hehe
