good synchronicity today, met with a friend I haven't seen for a while who recommended me an out of print book about the manhattan project which was available at a discount at the first book store I walked into at random
continued studies into modern esoteric science & engineering, programs, practices, aesthetic
engineered magical realism

macondo but on purpose
later i talked to him about some math ideas i had which he didn't understand because what I was saying was mostly nonsensical and it's hard to grasp essence, win some lose some

sometimes certain things impinge on my consciousness, that aren't quite dreams because I'm not asleep, and aren't ideas because there is no system by which I came upon them, but they are certainly created by choice
something like seeing a friend waving in your peripheral vision and turning to recognize them
it's some part of me choosing both to look and what I'll see when I do, but I only "control" the looking part

reading "the making of the atomic bomb" by Rhodes 1/
2/ in the first chapter, Rhodes explores the events leading to szilard's idea of the neutron chain reaction. he describes the importance both of a community of scientists and the open communication between them
these ideas seem to me to be in tension. one wants a closed elite community, with open communication within. Rhodes discusses entry to this community as being given through apprenticeship, idea propagation through reputation and overlapping work

1/ I've just spent today catching up with an old school friend I haven't seen since last Christmas. She is in her final year studying medicine at uni - she's a smart girl. Yet, she told me that she is bored to tears by Brexit and she's sick of hearing about it on the news.
2/ She said she's stopped listening to Radio 4 because all she ever hears about the #IrishBackstop. She admitted she didn't know what it is, but is sick of hearing every man & his dog interviewed for their opinion. She prefers listening to "calming music" on radio 3 instead
3/ classic example of media boring people to death with politico's opinions rather than providing simple, factual information.

Every December I find myself thankful I no longer work in retail.

In celebration, a thread of genuine customer requests I dealt with as a bookseller 🎄

"Where can I find the non-fiction?"
Me:
"Do you have 1884?"
"Do you have 1954?"
"Do you have 1986?"
"Do you have 1484?"
"Do you have 1948?"
"Do you have 1642?"
Me:
"Do you have [out of print book]?"
No, I'm sorry but it's out of print.
"Can you order it?"
I'm afraid they no longer print it.
"Ah. So when will it arrive?"
Me:

I Received the below message from a #Friend and found it #TooGoodNotToShare ..

What is A.A.A.D.D.?

It is Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

#ThankGod they now have a name for it ..

Read on more to learn about #AgeActivatedAttentionDeficitDisorder ..
This is how it manifests:

I decide to #water my #garden
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my #car and decide it needs washing

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car

I lay my car keys on the #table, put the junk mail in the #garbage can under the table and notice that the can is full

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first

Sorry for not updating in a while. The reception up here is terrible and I haven't been able to get Twitter to load all that often. At least there's lots of wine in the cellar, so I haven't been too bored.
I've mostly been trying to keep busy getting the house in shape to sell. A realtor is supposed to come up here next week to help me formally list it, which is good because I'd like to get out of here.
But there's something weird about the town down the road that I can't figure out. I've been getting cabin fever pretty bad, so the other day I drove into town to have breakfast and wander around a little bit to get my mind off things.

Men, we hear you.

Several men have expressed concern that they might be falsely accused of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, or sexual misconduct going forward due to the #MeToo movement. I thought I would share these helpful tips...
1. Stay alert and aware at all times. If you are at a party with a woman who you think will falsely accuse you of sexual assault, limit your alcohol consumption.

She is free to drink, but your impaired judgment is not an excuse for her false accusations.
2) If you walk or jog for exercise, try to vary your route and time on the street. To be predictable is risky. Always carry your cell phone to provide contemporaneous corroboration that you did not rape anyone. In fact, consider working out indoors. Some step aerobics, maybe.

You get to your office about 9—late, but the bus got tangled up in Summer. You've hardly taken off your coat when she walks in, dressed like an aristocrat's idea of unassuming. You're no fool. She's clearly one of the nine queens.
Uh oh.
"I need your help," she says.
She's surprised by your acquiescence, which surprises you: The queens are used to obedience. This…may have been optional. You try to match her face to the photos you've seen in papers & on posters. Dark hair & eyes, wearing blue: she must be Mab, the Queen of Night. She speaks.
[suicide mention]
"Did you see in the paper last week—the docks—"
You nod. "The human. Murdered. No suspects."
Mab is pleased. "Yes. Then yesterday, someone in my court—the police ruled it a suicide, but I know: it was murder."
Of course it was.
"I want you to look into it."
