    Lucinda Lavender: ok...I just woke up sorry...
    Lucinda Lavender: I am only partly functional:)
    Alfred Kelberry: also, i do not see how lab is relevant in the scope of pab
    --BELL--


    Alfred Kelberry: i think pema used terms like laboratory, experiment, etc in order to give a scientific legitimacy to pab's activity
    Alfred Kelberry: how are your chickens doing? :)
    Lucinda Lavender: they are well...the 4 of them.
    Lucinda Lavender: on got sick and is no more.
    Lucinda Lavender: one
    Alfred Kelberry: eh, poor things
    Lucinda Lavender: it was 4 years old so it live a pretty full life
    Lucinda Lavender: lived
    Alfred Kelberry: are there new chicks coming?
    Lucinda Lavender: we are thinking about getting a few...!
    Alfred Kelberry: good :)
    Lucinda Lavender: they are available nearby
    Alfred Kelberry: i thought you had some hatched not long ago
    Lucinda Lavender: while the weather is warm introduce them...no have not hatched any in our home...always have bought them.
    Lucinda Lavender: We finally have sun here...it has taken it's time
    Alfred Kelberry: not a very sunny state :)
    Lucinda Lavender: no:)
    Lucinda Lavender: sunny where you are?
    Alfred Kelberry: too sunny :)
    Lucinda Lavender: ah
    Alfred Kelberry: i prefer a mild weather
    Alfred Kelberry: some rain is fine too
    Lucinda Lavender: we have mild here...with alot of cloudy misty days
    Lucinda Lavender: but for the monthes of july august september it can be beautiful
    Alfred Kelberry: yes, i think of seattle as bergen. think they're pretty similar.
    Lucinda Lavender: It is rare for me to be frustrated with the weather tho.
    Alfred Kelberry: i try never be :)
    Lucinda Lavender: for some people it is all they can talk about
    Alfred Kelberry: recalling how astronauts say they never complain about weather - it's all beautiful here on earth :)
    Lucinda Lavender: recalling thinking that farmers have reason to think about weather...
    Alfred Kelberry: i hope woly is coming back soon
    Lucinda Lavender: a long trip for her
    Alfred Kelberry: she'd be here, i think, for this meeting
    Lucinda Lavender: ah:)
    Alfred Kelberry: oh, have you read this book: stuff white people like?
    Lucinda Lavender: what would you like to talk about?
    Lucinda Lavender: ah...no...
    Alfred Kelberry: quite funny :)
    Lucinda Lavender: what does it seem to be about?
    Lucinda Lavender: humorus...thought so
    Alfred Kelberry: the author lists 150 things
    Lucinda Lavender: did it make you laugh?
    Alfred Kelberry: e.g. coffee, farmer's markets, etc :)
    Alfred Kelberry: yea!
    Lucinda Lavender: I am white ...
    Alfred Kelberry: it is north american centric, but a lot of it is so true :)
    Lucinda Lavender: for me tho farmer's markets are mainly nice because of the colors and smells and that the sellers have their own businesses
    Alfred Kelberry: some folks even get into competition on who is whiter by this book :)
    --BELL--


    Lucinda Lavender: and...coffee is important to me because...
    Lucinda Lavender: it helps me think...
    Lucinda Lavender: and enjoy life
    Alfred Kelberry: "White people believe that organic food is grown by farmers who wear overalls, drive tractors, and don’t use pesticides." :)
    Lucinda Lavender: ha...
    Lucinda Lavender: I suppose some do
    Alfred Kelberry: this book could probably be written only in the u.s. given its racial issues
    Lucinda Lavender: :)
    Alfred Kelberry: doesn't make much sense in europe or even canada, i think
    Lucinda Lavender: probably not...
    Lucinda Lavender: I think it is good and sometimes hard to see oneself as others see us.
    Alfred Kelberry: do you have black friends?
    Lucinda Lavender: yes
    Lucinda Lavender: I worked with one woman as co teacher with her for 10 years
    Lucinda Lavender: we were a great team
    Alfred Kelberry: nice
    Lucinda Lavender: we had the best music time
    Lucinda Lavender: she played tamborine and I guitar
    Lucinda Lavender: played
    Lucinda Lavender: and we have great respect for each other
    Alfred Kelberry: :)
    Alfred Kelberry: i wonder how much this is true: "White people like Barack Obama because they are afraid that if they don’t they will be considered racist." :)
    Lucinda Lavender: I mainly have gotten to know people from different countries because childcare is something a person can do
    Lucinda Lavender: coming here with less english
    Lucinda Lavender: I don't know...about your question there
    Lucinda Lavender: I had a dream about Obama
    Alfred Kelberry: ha :)
    Lucinda Lavender: back a few months before he was elected
    Alfred Kelberry: what did he do?
    Lucinda Lavender: he spoke with me ...for a long time...and I was overcome by the feeling that it was like taking to my dad
    Alfred Kelberry: wow
    Alfred Kelberry: what did you talk about?
    Lucinda Lavender: I do not know
    Alfred Kelberry: did not pay attention?! :)
    Alfred Kelberry: you probably played with chickens while he was giving the speech :)
    Lucinda Lavender: but as I left there and was travelling home I reaized that I saw a chrch from a distance and it was brick...and I had this dream statement that came through that was...you will have to learn about the Bible
    Alfred Kelberry: hmm
    Lucinda Lavender: not something I study..
    Alfred Kelberry: did it happen?
    --BELL--


    Lucinda Lavender: not really but...division in our country seems to come around certain topics that the bible addresses
    Alfred Kelberry: ah, yes. in god you trust says the bill :)
    Lucinda Lavender: hmmm
    Alfred Kelberry: i think it's nasty the kind of power church has over the rural folks
    Lucinda Lavender: well funny thing...that day that I woke from the dream...I spoke with a cousin from chicago....and I learned that his company had worked for the obama campaighn....and he knew him and was sending me a photo of his kids on the back step with obama..chatting
    Alfred Kelberry: neat :)
    Lucinda Lavender: it was interesting...
    Alfred Kelberry: did you see any other famous people in dreams?
    Lucinda Lavender: I have seen Eddy Murphy....
    Lucinda Lavender: laughing at me
    Alfred Kelberry: hehe
    Lucinda Lavender: and Dana Carvey
    Alfred Kelberry: don't know her
    Lucinda Lavender: people of humour
    Lucinda Lavender: guy from SNL
    Lucinda Lavender: did you know I have written down dreams since 1987?
    Alfred Kelberry: yes, i know you're into dreams :)
    Lucinda Lavender: that is a long time
    Alfred Kelberry: how many notebooks did you use? :)
    Lucinda Lavender: I think I have about 8
    Lucinda Lavender: one at a time
    Lucinda Lavender: used to record about 7 a month...
    Lucinda Lavender: now much less
    Alfred Kelberry: oh, i thought you do it like every other day
    Lucinda Lavender: no
    Alfred Kelberry: much less cause of lack of time or lack of dreams?
    Lucinda Lavender: and also record where the planets are when the dream happens
    Lucinda Lavender: aging I think
    Alfred Kelberry: ah, astrology angle :)
    Lucinda Lavender: less energy when working hard too
    Lucinda Lavender: on vacation dreams bubble up tho
    Lucinda Lavender: and when the moon is where it was when I was born
    Alfred Kelberry: you think the planets affect your dreams somehow?
    Lucinda Lavender: it was something I have fought with as an Idea...
    Alfred Kelberry: skeptic in you :)
    Lucinda Lavender: I think that it gives a way of looking at a dream that takes it out of personal interpretation...and more into a universal view tho...it helps with that
    Lucinda Lavender: yes there is a skeptic
    Lucinda Lavender: does not read the bible either
    Lucinda Lavender: I guess a dream can tell me what I love, am worried about...might be encountering the next day...
    Lucinda Lavender: but it seems to have in it things about what we already know
    Alfred Kelberry: i think the bible is like dreams in many ways. people read it and try to impose various meanings.
    --BELL--


    Alfred Kelberry: same passage can be interpreted in different ways
    Lucinda Lavender: many dreams in the bible...yes
    Alfred Kelberry: well, it seems it's been just you and me this meeting
    Lucinda Lavender: yes...
    Lucinda Lavender: time to go
    Alfred Kelberry: yep
    Alfred Kelberry: thank you for the company
    Lucinda Lavender: I hope you have a good day
    Alfred Kelberry: keep your chickens safe :)
    Lucinda Lavender: I will ...go check them soon
    Lucinda Lavender: bye for now
