Energy Preservative

Oil is the Preservative of Military Energy
Peter Lott Heppner


Thought I was being clever, then I discovered this fact, It is not our love for horsepower that causes bother  at the pumps, It is a very thirsty Military Machinery that is first in line.

US military energy consumption- facts and figures | Energy Bulletin

"As the saying goes, facts are many but the truth is one. The truth is that the U.S. military is the single largest consumer of energy in the world. But as a wise man once said, don't confuse facts with reality. The reality is that even U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) does not know precisely where and how much energy it consumes. This is my Fact Zero."

Giving up is not giving in, nor is it failing. It is no longer needing to be right.

  —Anonymous

When someone tells us a riddle, we may give up if we don't know the answer. We give up because we are tired of trying to get it, or because we are eager to find out what it is. 

Giving up in other situations, may be more difficult. We may need to give up eating something that isn't healthy for us. We may need to give up trying to win an argument. We may need to give up old clothes that we love which no longer fit us. When we don't want to give up, it may be because we have forgotten the knowledge, health, or peace of mind we gain by doing so.

In each case, giving up means growth and going on with our lives. Giving up may mean many different things in different situations, but it does not mean doing nothing. It means doing what seems right for us and giving up the expectation that what happens will be exactly what we want.

What can I gain by giving up something that is harmful today?

In Washington today, politicians too often just stand their ground. Liberal strategist Bob Beckel and conservative columnist Cal Thomas provide a better model.

Afternoon,

As there is time available,

 till my CT in 4 hours

 with a portal to say my say for a while,

here's my blurb 

One can do one's  best thinking during a crisis

 creativity gets some exercise

The Job is to Live  through it

 Show others how-to

I replied "Even with military training, there is no way a man can accidentally blow his head off with a shotgun."


Many years earlier, so long ago that I was a student at the University of Chicago, I had a conversation with my thesis advisor about arts in general. At that time, I had no idea that I personally would go into any sort of art.
He said,"You know what artists are?"
I didn't.
"Artists," he said, "are people who say 'I can't fix my country or my state or my city or even my marriage. But by golly, I can make this square of canvas, or this eight-and-a-half-by-eleven piece of paper, or this lump of clay, or these twelve bars of music, exactly what they ought to be!' "


About five years after that, he did what Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and his wife and their kids did at the end of World War Two. He swallowed potassium cyanide.


Deja Vu got recycled the other morning. A friend was describing a zero to psycho in nano second moment with his latest sweet smelling, jiggle a plenty, got- the-ootsie-down gal pal and I opined about power with a giggle.  In a flash I remembered being sage-ish, about 30 years earlier with another friend, in similar fashionable straits. 6 months later my words would echo back too help me with my dumb-as-box-of-rocks response to my tender, sexplorer as she melted down. I tried to heed my own advice and failed.  


This means in 6 months there will be a filly bucking me  in my corral.

fifty two

Afternoon,

6 Billion Larvae Sexually Selecting

Colored Lemmings Competing for Affection

Dismal Blend of Baffling Beatitudes

What has Evolution accomplished?

If Prey will not be Prey then what of the Predator?

Who is really Predated?

As Gaia has been and will continue to be

Despite many missives

which become dismissive

Fingerprints revealed an unwanted Man

Blood test showed a little more to go

Happy fifty two to me

Self nourish on the fat

Trim with the mind

Think Heal

Peter
