For the kids.  “There’s no place like home!” 1939

The Wizard of Oz

A Film by Victor Fleming (1939).

Is Miss Gulch dead? Will the family lose the farm? Will Dorothy’s experience in Oz with the Wicked Witch of The West on her tail change the dynamic of black and white?

Never thought those thoughts…maybe once or twice. I’ve been watching the film for at least 55 years.  “not measured by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.” Thank you Frank Morgan.

Thoughts from sleep: December 13, 2016

Jesus Study

Alive we partake--dead we are studies--
Life work within a history book
A history book, one step removed, yet we perceive
A fiction on history--two steps removed.
Are the lessons, bread, as nourishing?

Probably not as nourishing
Closeness--will you pray with me for one hour?
Miracles, practiced and witnessed.

Music, the study of thought versus
the activity of the original thoughts
later elucidated/remembered.

Recordings, the internet videos, television and radio recordings kept and recurrent.

Re: What is the expectation of privacy in an exploitative, manipulative world? data-driven today is conceptually driven tomorrow. #BigData

Defenders of social media monitoring tools [like twitter’s Firehoses] point out that the information being gathered has been posted publicly by users of social networks and carries no [sic] expectation of privacy. “The purpose of social media is to share,” says Phil Harris, CEO of Geofeedia [id. at 55].

So he takes your labor you’ve produced without remuneration, although many of us have a reasonable expectation to receive compensation, and sells our labor to a third party for profit. That is the definition of unjust enrichment…or is it merely treasure trove?

A second unmarked helicopter with what appeared to me two cameras, one above the cockpit and one below appeared near Franklin and Hillcrest near the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood. This one was metallic gun metal color. The first helicopter 25 minutes ago was naval gray. The darker one was smaller, faster and not as loud.

“Well, he was a mental case anyway. Call the coroner and get the measurements.”

Dear Governor Huckabee:

True, Donald Trump has been judicious in his personal business relations, holdings and investments. He that is true in less shall be challenged with more. Let us hope he is The Donald is not tempted like Jesus in the desert by Satan himself, or if he is, that God will grant him the discernment and strength to defend righteousness.
