People in the United States who died of the "regular" flu last year: 36,000
People in the United States who died of the AID's virus last year: 14,000
People in the United States who died of an allergic reaction to aspirin last year: 5,000
People in the United States who have died from Swine Flu: 1
And we are talking about closing schools, restricting travel etc. Does this seem a little out of step with reality?

Half Earth Tonight
The visible sliver of the moon that was out last night was beautiful. I always enjoy staring off into space, it seems to put everything in perspective. How insignificant my problems and all of the rituals of life we feel we need to follow really are. I imagine myself standing on the moon and watching the waxing and waning of the earth. Oh, it is a half earth out tonight or oh my look its a full earth tonight. Its blue reflection echoing in space. I don't know why I find that thought so peaceful and beautiful but I do.
My life is a grain of sand on a timeline that wraps around the earth 5 times.

LMN - Million Tears by Brian Johnson
Here is the gist of my screen play\crappy book made for the LMN
The movie opens with an attractive couple madly in love.
(The man is a glass blower and there is a knock off of the pottery seen in ghost)
The woman is quickly and tragically killed
The man in morning locks himself in his studio and creates a vase that is a montage to his love.
As he cries into the vase his love is returned from the dead.
As word of this amazing feat gets out two powerful leaders one who is morning the loss of his love and one whose wife is dying try to take the vase.
A huge fight occurs with lots of people dying.
The man must between destroying the vase and killing his wife or letting the blood shed and chase continue.
In the end the glass blower and his wife kiss as he lets the vase fall from his hand and shatter on the ground.
*Fade to black*

Explosion
"It was like someone pulled the pin on his mind grenade and all I could do was watch the explosion of creativity and thought." - Brian Johnson
It is so rare to see genius that when you see it you just have to appreciate its power.

And They All Fall Down
Life's Ocean
Life's Atlantic crossing. If you boat capsizes when you can still see shore it is not a big deal. Like when you are young you can rebound better from catastrophe.
When you are old you have the same thing you can see the other shore. It won't be longer now. it is almost over.
But what happens when you flip in the middle?
How long can you trend water with no hope on the horizon.
Tired in life's shipping lane with help passing just out of reach.
Sometimes we hang on to debris floating by for a little break, little plastic bottles of Karkov water wings.
Sometimes we are lucky and get picked up.
Sometimes we find others boats to tie up to.
Some time people find us and give us more weight.
Sometimes people just stop treading.
There have been several incidents in the last few years of hardship leading the head of a household to kill all of the members of the household and while I would never condone that kind of behavior I understand the feeling feeling behind it. The constant emotional fatigue from stress and worry. I am thankful for the people who stopped their boats and picked me up. I wish everybody could be as lucky as I am.

Electrical Riddle
Ok so I cut the power to my garage putting in the fence
There are 4 identical black wires that run underground from my house to my garage. All same color, gage, etc.
With my multimeter I discovered which is the hot wire. (I originally assumed that I had 3 hot wires and a ground)
But there is a hot, dead line, neutral and ground.
My plan try the hot wire to each of the four cut wires and see when power comes back on seal it off and then try the next wire to each of the three remaining and so on...except after I ran through the hot wire to each of the four there was still nothing...
So I thinking there is an additional fuse that is blown somewhere or my connectors are not the right size for the ten gage wire?
Took apart every box and could not find another fuse anywhere in the line or garage panel and nothing :(
Tried all new connectors and nothing :(
How do you test three dead wires for the ground withough digging all the way to the box?
