I just got done watching the Colorado 2010 250cc race on FOX TV. Saw Purcell smoke US peeps and saw him pick some pretty good lines. I have TV Fav’s set to F1 (Auto) so was watching it at same time. Had computer tuned to flute-&-drums ( http://www.chiefseattle.com/default.htm ) and so was pretty much drawn into my roots.

I’m in an old-fart-phase-now-a-days and I'm wondering. “If I only knew THEN what I do now".

Life in all its ways seems to have said “Yer-here-cause-life-said-so”. Coincidences abound, to many to ask. Am I the only one that-wonders? Does lightning strike out of random, do phone calls happen because they just do. Is life-a-choice?

PS For those interested - my granp's was Adopted into the Cherokee ( Lame-Deer Montana Res ) for his work with UNICEF. A Quaker. He was given the name "Ahtoeawhowha" (Buffalo Hump) for the tender part of the animal. I'm wondering what mine will be?

I think that lightning only happens when all the conditions are right and the opportunity exists then it seizes the moment. Much like we should do in life. Life happens no matter what……it is what you do with the opportunities when they arise. That is the choice part of life.

You have some real cool roots and you should be very proud of where you came from because that is what helps you to be who you are.

Your Grandfather did some great work and deserved to be part of the tribe. That didn’t happen randomly. He made choices that got him to that point.

As for you name………I will have to start working on some new ones.

Appreciate the words Pike - as thunder rolls in hills outside of Gods own Heaven - N. Bend WA. but the older I get the more I wonder. E.G. watched a Discovery Channel Show yesterday said it was all about time and is time-travel possible. They posed all the same paradoxes but it got me wondering.

Are today's actions a result of my tomorrow's decisions. Pretty freaky that whole backward-time-paradox. I've run a gauntlet like this before what came about was mind-altering. What came about was this thought. There's-no-diff-between-massively-big-or-massively-small. I went (mind-games) massively-small and then looked back, what I saw was me looking back at me.

I picked up a book back then (1990's) The Holographic Universe (Michale Talbot circa 1992) because it called. Read it Cover-to-Cover and something jumped out - the - NON-LOCAL-EVENT. That's where our whole perception of reality is all made up. It's the Fish-Bowl and todays "Large Hadron Collider" studies seem to be proving NON-LOCAL as correct. (PG.154 of book, earmarked, in hand).

What this book is all about is perception. I could explain it all here but MX is more my cup-of-tea. Suffice it to say that Morgan Freeman on the Discovery Channel (Through-The-Wormhole) is doing a better job than an Ole-Fart-Like-Me at explaining it.

I'm native american (Duwamish by Blood, MX by nature) and have my own set of thoughts. I marvel at the sounds of nature and revel at the joy of Springs return. I've struggled during my physical labor days and appreciate todays warm office. I know the diff. Todays struggles are all mental and if I had to compare (and I do every day) then I'd have to say "tip-a-hat-to-da-blue-collar-folk". Digging through ice to hook a hat is a whole-lot-tougher than defending a method (software) choice. The latter always seems to come down to $budget - cept when I mention how stupid that choice might be. Sometimes I win sometimes not. Guess it comes down to making doubles and committing. Twist-throttle or Not.

Thanks #62 for yer comments. I'm trying to change - you dun good at Spokane'em

I hear ya Vern just hope you don't punt yer young'n off the track and cause an expiration of yer-self. Maybe you should consider switching up - like to the 50's (age) class. I hear it's a hoot. I'd like to advise but any more I tend to ride the "Professional-Practice-50+ class" Lots-of-fun-no-stress.

That's how I roll that and a good ""Toasted Jalapeno, Onion and Olive Steak & Cheese topped with Chipotle sauce sandwich" fer snack'n.
