15. You always give me a lot to think about.

Please know I truly understand the connection between technology and yawning. I`m forward leaning when it comes to a new oatmeal/molasses bread recipe or the Audubon bird count, but these newfangled gadgets like the cell phone you mentioned, are beyond my simple universe. I don`t even wear a watch.

There was a lot of chatter about "good vibrations" back in the 60s-70s. I`m still a believer and tried to explain that very concept to my 6 year old grandson recently. I`ve thought a lot lately about what vibrations some people put out there. Like the bullies, the bigots, the racists, the war hawks. What damage they do on a daily basis. What awful, hateful damage. It needs to be counteracted.... weakened....with good vibrations, just like the ones you feel when you`re out at your pond with a tail-wagging dog.

~PEACE, H20 Man~
