2015 3Q Day Zero of 21 June-15 – Detroit

Day Zero.  In this era of “instant” communication – twitter, instagram, snapchat etc. - messages might be limited to 140 typed characters or “less.”  Maybe, no words at all, only an emoticon (-: or photograph , maybe blurred at that.  Yes, I remember the axiom – one picture is worth a thousand words.

Well... I prefer spoken communication.  Alas, a few have told me to limit my incessant “chatter.”  Sure, I have thought of being brief, but, would miss what I was looking for – another person’s story I enjoyed and was interested in.  I also want to to share with others, like you.

To some, I have replied what I learned from our “conversation.”  I know, you talk, I listen. Then I talk, talk, talk and you maybe tune out.  But... when I provide the details of what I remember or reviewed to get a better understating, realize they missed my many questions that they replied to before jumping to, unfortunately, my next item of interest.

I get 
"it" while I can.  We’ve maybe have seen or heard the Latin term – carpe diem – seize the day. 

I try to focus on the good of today, not maybe the not so good of yesterday, maybe the new “challenges” of tomorrow.  Please accept my explanation that I mean no harm by my method.  They might be thought of as brief conversations I see on the "tube" with “speed dating.”  In a short amount of time – questions and answer are exchanged and the result is...?

My intent of this journal, has been to share my observations and interpretations of the experience – with bias to maybe looking at things with rose-colored glasses.  Faulty?  Maybe.  But look at today's news in print or visuals and I think, where is the good in this place we call home? 


Escapism?  Yes, you have that right (-:

Hope you find something of interest.

For me, this is home sweet home – the BIG blue ball.  Enjoy the journey (-:

Today there is no online photo album today.
