This Is Just To Say
by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

A very nice webcam situated in Yosemite Valley. This is turning out to be a great resource to determine what the conditions are in the park before going up.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

Soren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher (1813 – 1855)

Ah, a nice description of some of the people who live in Berkeley.

I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath

Joke

An atom walks into a police station and says “One of my electrons has been stolen!”
The police say “Are you sure?”
And the atom replies…

“Yes! I’m positive!”

Joshua Tree Pictures

Thanksgiving this year was spent in Joshua Tree with some friends. The trip turned out to be a blast, we spent the most of the time climbing and relaxing and we actually cooked a turkey on the fire. We were treated on the drive home to the entertainment of hearing Kimberly H. get into trouble over having taken Justin’s white nalgene bottle that contained melted snow water from the south pole, which he intended on giving to his family for Christmas. A fun weekend overall. Pictures can be found at the link below.

If you know what it is that you are looking for, then indeed there no need to undertake a search, and if you don’t know what it is that you are looking for then really there’s no basis upon which to conduct a search. Hence the search for truth becomes an idle activity.

-Mino in regards to Socrates’ search for truth. Of course Sacrate’s puts the smack down on Mino’s argument.
