Riddle Sideways: Welcome leaping Adams
Adams Rubble: good morning Riddle :)
Adams Rubble: whew. I made it :)
Riddle Sideways: also a fun entrance
Riddle Sideways: has it been a morning?
Adams Rubble: yes, was painting signs

Adams Rubble: It has been raining forever--dark and gloomy
Riddle Sideways: what kind of signs?

Adams Rubble: I was listening to john Lennon this morning and thinking about Paul and bass players
Adams Rubble: John had his demons
Adams Rubble: he now has been dead as long as he was alive
Adams Rubble: hard to believe
Riddle Sideways: Wha! That is hard to believe
Riddle Sideways: where did those years go
Adams Rubble: we made good use of them

Riddle Sideways: have been thinking about Bass players too
Adams Rubble: do you guys get recorded?
Riddle Sideways: started some Bass lessons and finding new finger tricks are not for old dogs
Adams Rubble: old hands get sore
Adams Rubble: joint pain
Riddle Sideways: we have bad Live recordings
Adams Rubble: please send some links some time
Riddle Sideways: thankfully, no hand pains
Riddle Sideways: that site had issues and is down right now

Riddle Sideways: several months ago, watched several Paul youtubes
Riddle Sideways: he has gotten very talkative about how songs were written and meant
Adams Rubble: yes
Riddle Sideways: or happened and other fun stories
Riddle Sideways: there was a very fun talk by a music theorist on 'did the Beatles know music'
Riddle Sideways: turns out, they just made it up
   --BELL--

Riddle Sideways: In Other News ... The Pope has been doing TED talks
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: that boggles the mind
Adams Rubble: somebody has to do them :)
Riddle Sideways: but many should not
Riddle Sideways: Nobody down in the square listening
Riddle Sideways: so, get in front of a camera
Riddle Sideways: turns out the Pope has pretty good words on Climate change, viruses, weather and how people should live
Adams Rubble: lots of people listening when the pope speaks
Adams Rubble: the pope believes in social justice

Riddle Sideways: sorry, drifted off thinking
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: would think it would take a lot of time to write what the Pope is to say. Yet, is probably so practiced at sermon writing that can crank one out real quick
Adams Rubble: I am sure he has all the help that he wants
Adams Rubble: if one speaks from the heart it is much easier
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: never thought about TED talks being sermons before
Riddle Sideways: but they are 15-18 minutes
Riddle Sideways: and try hard to tell us what we didn't quite know
Riddle Sideways: all those really good TED talks over the years

Riddle Sideways: And Tis the season to be getting lots of robo-calls of how good our candidate is and how bad that other one is
Riddle Sideways: listened to a couple yesterday
Riddle Sideways: and tried to Really listen
Riddle Sideways: not judge

Adams Rubble: the candidates here can't get through with all the other scams
Riddle Sideways: Right. there was the guy that could clean our solar panels for cheap
Riddle Sideways: (we don't have solar panels)
Adams Rubble: of course'
Adams Rubble: and the problems they tell me I am having with my Macs
Riddle Sideways: yes! love those
Adams Rubble: the chimney cleaning guy who has been calling for two months regularly
Adams Rubble: and the apology calls from my energy provider although they are not sure which one it is
Riddle Sideways: the repeated calls that announce 'This is going to be the last call'
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: we have been trying to reach you
   --BELL--
Riddle Sideways: with all those in mind, when hearing a 'If THEY are elected, the world will end'
Riddle Sideways: how much to believe
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: in the old days it was just "Throw the bums out"
Adams Rubble: that works for me
Riddle Sideways: Life with: a President, a new city council and a clean chimney
Riddle Sideways: will be SO good
Riddle Sideways: phone rings. The caller ID reads "New York City"
Riddle Sideways: is the entire city calling me?
Riddle Sideways: gotz to take that call

Adams Rubble sings "If you can make it here, it you can make it anywher----re
Riddle Sideways: Opportunity is knocking, don't not answer

Riddle Sideways: Being told which candidate speaks from the heart
Riddle Sideways: which has Love and Compassion
Riddle Sideways: oh and that Selfless thing
Adams Rubble: all candidates are a certain amount phoney but one of the presidential candidates has a heart and compassion
Adams Rubble: the other is a very unhappy man
Adams Rubble: has no compassion
Adams Rubble: has so many attachments that he can hardly get down a ramp
Adams Rubble: ba dum bump

Riddle Sideways: need to hear more Dalai Lama TED talks

Riddle Sideways: was disappointed when writing down what was done yesterday
Riddle Sideways: until got to the amount of time spent watching breath
Riddle Sideways: spent lots of time at the end of the driveway listening to neighbor tell of the long hike just taken
Riddle Sideways: Those things need to (must) be counted as good things Done
