    Riddle Sideways: Good, Adams
    Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle. Sorry to be late
    Riddle Sideways: docks, 2 minutes off your pay
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Adams Rubble: I was watching the video of our local borough council meeting
    Adams Rubble: a developer has destroyed the last remaining woods in the borough
    Adams Rubble: the borugh has been fighting this for years
    Adams Rubble: now it is gone
    Riddle Sideways: Ah, the great outdoors, "Civilization Ho"
    Riddle Sideways: did developer have permits and all that
    Adams Rubble: lots of legalities, lawsuits, etc
    Riddle Sideways: and what about the last 100 projects?
    Adams Rubble: the judge removed a stay and the bulldozers were there within minites
    Adams Rubble: the law is against towns in this state
    Riddle Sideways: Like the first chapter of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy
    Adams Rubble: fighting against developers
    Adams Rubble: I never read that
    Riddle Sideways: is ok, too many others can quote it
    Adams Rubble: saith the raven nevermore
    Riddle Sideways: so developers win
    Riddle Sideways: and they bulldozed instead of harvesting
    Adams Rubble: yes, they always win
    Adams Rubble: how are you?
    Riddle Sideways: and the city counsel like the money in pockets?
    Adams Rubble: it is a very dark, rainy day here for the first full day of Spring
    Riddle Sideways: Happy Spring
    Riddle Sideways: dark froggy day here
    Adams Rubble: rivet
    Riddle Sideways: it is not really sure what to become
    Adams Rubble waves to Riddles' frogs
    Riddle Sideways: ate toooooo much last night
    Riddle Sideways: hard to sleep
    Adams Rubble: ooooh
    Riddle Sideways: even worse was stepping on the scale this morning
    Adams Rubble: scales can be mean
    Riddle Sideways: funny, was doing crossword puzzles (on tablet) before sleep.
    Riddle Sideways: and dreamed of doing crossword puzzles
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Riddle Sideways: so happy to come up with a connecting word
    Adams Rubble: I dreamed I was on a trip to Eurpoe and we had to take a right wing Nazi with us by law
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: to balance your politics? ㋡ or the plane would tilt
    Riddle Sideways: sorry, seem to have no sound today
    Adams Rubble: ohhh
    Adams Rubble: I alwayds do this visually though
    Adams Rubble: I was at a university and it was a result of the Trump administration requiring free speech at the universities. it was a university sponsored trip
    Adams Rubble: everywhere we went he was spouting hate
    Riddle Sideways: Spouting
    Adams Rubble: eventually we were in a museum and he was seeing paintings by a Jewish artist and he was saying they should not be in the museum
    Adams Rubble: but we came to a painting he really loved
    Adams Rubble: we wncouraged it and kept getting him to say why he loved it
    Adams Rubble: then we told him it was by a Jewish artist and he had to start thinking
    Adams Rubble: then i woke up
    Riddle Sideways: great
    Adams Rubble: btw, I was at a real life prayer service at a mosque yesterday
    Riddle Sideways: last night was Purium
    Adams Rubble: yes!
    Adams Rubble: I meant to wish you a happy Purim
    Riddle Sideways: (going to a mosque tomorrow)
    Adams Rubble: we may go again tonight
    Adams Rubble: they are having a srvice for those killed in NZ
    Riddle Sideways: acting out the story of Ester letting the king know she is Jewish and would be killed be Hammen's law
    Riddle Sideways: regular shift of people going to show solidarity
    Riddle Sideways: prayers
    Adams Rubble nods
    Riddle Sideways: will credit Trump for helping make so many friends in Muslim and Christian community
    Adams Rubble: when I read that I had the sad feeling that i wonder if it will last when Trump is gone
    Riddle Sideways: can't be sure of anything, but have really made good friends
    Riddle Sideways: see them in Costco and can ask about the kids etc.
    Adams Rubble nods
    Adams Rubble: ohhh, nice
    Riddle Sideways: too many visits to one or another building in support of bad things, though
    Adams Rubble: like Macbeth, Trump fighting the ghost of John McCain
    Riddle Sideways: So Sad
    --BELL--
    Riddle Sideways: stuck with images of Adams walking around with a little cartoon right wing Naxi on one shoulder
    Riddle Sideways: an angel on the other
    Riddle Sideways: an immigrant on another
    Riddle Sideways: a minority on another
    Riddle Sideways: Mother on another
    Riddle Sideways: ghost of the Last tree, on another
    Adams Rubble weeps for the trees and all the animals that lived in the woods
    Riddle Sideways: laughing at the people that are bothered by deer, turkeys, mountain lions, foxes, hawks that are living right here in their yards
    Riddle Sideways: that use to be their wooded homes
    Riddle Sideways: and they have no woods to go to
    Adams Rubble: there were twenty or thirty deer in that little woods
    Riddle Sideways: This area's biggest hypocritic/funny/tragic story was the cutting of Butterfly trees to build a motel for tourist to come visit the migrating butterflies
    Adams Rubble: :(
    Adams Rubble: we humans can be realy stupid sometimes
    Riddle Sideways: the maps of tagged Mountain lion travels show how little wild area is left AND how many big highways they have to cross
    --BELL--
    Adams Rubble: raindrops gathering and rolling down my wondow during meditation
    Riddle Sideways: ahhhh, relaxing
    Riddle Sideways: one drop uniting with another to ribit down the glass
    Adams Rubble trying to remember song that began "Raindrops a falling on my head"

    Adams Rubble: yes
    Adams Rubble: funny how songs get into your head even if you are not paying attention and then come out decades later
    Riddle Sideways: happens a lot
    Riddle Sideways: many times an old song surfaces at exactly the most appropo time
    Riddle Sideways: went sad or happy or forgetting or remembering

    Riddle Sideways: [07:56] Adael: Love this PaB stuff!
    Adael: Be like I, hold your head up high,
    Till you find a bluebird of happiness.
    Adael: And when he sings to you,
    Though you're deep in blue,
    You will see a ray of light creep through,
    And so remember this, life is no abyss,
    Somewhere there's a bluebird of happiness.
