OK, now... let's see if I can remember how to do this. Hmmmm,,,*
Shallow, black and wide bowl; fill with water, darken room, meditate... filter out commercials, grade for content...
Shit! Nothing's there but Bones re-runs and the Dog Whisperer.
Back to the drawing board! So what were we doing, anyway? Oh, yes... what to do with my web sites and Blogs... Well, I guess I'll keep this one (http:budsblograp.blogspot.com) as a journal for news and views, to keep a report on what is happening in our world. The new Poetry blog (http:lepagepoetique.blogspot.com) will be pretty much reserved for Poetry and Hai Ku or literary accomplishments. The other literary blog (http:bdmonline.blogspot.com) will be a repository for writings other than poetry, pictures, photos, articles and other goodies.
The website http:www.barrydmorris,com will be a repository of work histories including resumes, a family gallery and geneology, family histories, education, travels and notes about Beverly and I and all things McCormick and Morris. It will also serve as a commercial platform containing EntrepreneurBoulevard.net, a Clickbank sales affiliate ordering and clearing house.
The website http:www.alldataworthknowing.com will contain the .net and .org versions, and the social network http:www.themayshawgroup.org. The dotcom will contain a search utility canted toward Internet commerce. The dotnet will be a book and video network, and the dotorg will address the various works of the Delta Foundation, SPUR, Native American Art and other life interests.
I hope to have these efforts finished by July or August of this year. OH!! ALSO! The big earth movement I have been telling everyone I was worried about happened with the awful plate movement and the 7.0 Quake in Haiti. I am still expecting something major later this year, but I hope it is not so destructive.
Love and Hugs to all,
Bud and Bev

Goodbye, Prince William...
We left Ojai in the late afternoon on Christmas Day, 2009. We had a good visit, with lots of food, joy and fellowship with Brand and Tressa's family and friends, including Bill and DaVonne Allen, Tressa's parents. Sweet people we have known since '76. Bill and I had enjoyed many hours of conversation about conspiracy theories, religion, politics and moneymaking ventures.
Little did we know that Bill had a seizure right after we left. In the ambulance on the way to the hospital he suffered a hemhorragic stroke and he slipped into a coma. He remained so until Sunday night, when the Lord took his hand and led him to a better world.
Our sincere and deep condolances to our family and friends in this time of sorrow and celebration.

2009 Holidays
Well, it's that time again! Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone, and here is the report.
We wanted to go on a trip to see my brother James in Reserve, NM via a stop to see friends and relations in Prescott and Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ. The front end decided to go south on Beverly's DeVille, so there went that dream. We had Roast Chicken and dressing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole and Pumpkin pie at home in Bakersfield. It was nice, but there was just us two. (Sniff*)
We are trying to get out of debt at the same time, so we are having to pay attorneys to arrange redoing the mortgage and eliminating all the credit accounts except the car and the house. That will be finished around May.
Christmas came and we went to Ojai Christmas eve day to be with Brandy and his family. Krystel is here from NYC and Shannen's home for Xmas from Princeton, so a fine visit and dinner (Duck, 2 Hams, all the trimmings) was had by all. We came back on Xmas day and Kim and her kids arrived Boxing day (26th), as Chris is home from the Army and Kailey came back from CO for the Holidays. She is staying with her Dad in Leadville and going to HS this year. They just left today, so we are cooking pies and watching football today. Except of course, for the time I'm writing this.
Speaking of which, I hear a piece of pie calling me, so I will sign off for now.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

2006 Recap
Well, this one was one for the books! We went to Abilene, TX in November for my Uncle Harl's 90th birthday bash. That was fun...
I was driving for Oasis Turf LLC all year again, except when I was off for a heart attack and bypass surgery.
Yeah, that's what I said. Had an attack on October 27th, in the WLA Veteran's Hospital. That was followed up December 15th with an angiogram, and they kept me in ICU until December 21st, when I received a 3-way bypass surgery. I was discharged on December 29th. With my birthday on the 16th and Christmas the 25th, all my holidays were spent in the Hospital.
Understand, I'm not complaining... I wrote a prosaic poem about the experience, see below.
Speaking of Poetry, I won a contest and got my poem into the National Poetry Anthology, "Immortal Verses", taking the Editor's Choice Award, with a 13" high crystal trophy, a bronze medal on a blue and white ribbon. and one of my poems mounted on a walnut plaque. Also, they were included in a 3-CD set to be given to nationwide homes for deaf children.
I was also awarded a membership in the International Society of Poets. 2006 was the second time I won a place in the Anthology (an annual event), the first time being 1987.
TIME...
TIME…
I have recently obtained Steven Hawking's book, "A Brief History of Time". I am a tremendous admirer of Prof. Hawking.
About 30 years ago, I started thinking about time and the problems of time travel, witness of events in past and future time, etc. while the SPUR Group was still together (1960 - 1992).
We actually did resolve the issues, but it required a vast leap of faith as well as totally reframing our reality matrix to accept all the changes required to implement the steps needed to accomplish such a feat.
This describes the initial steps of restating the problem and understanding the parameters of this condition called 'Time'....
TIME… Feb 13, 2008
Isn’t it interesting how much we are preoccupied with time? We live our lives to its beat, our languages are filled with terms indicating some reaction, relation, or expression of it, and we always seem to be trying to make new ways to harness it, measure it, or get more out of it. Like it were a thing, one we could really control or affect in any way, instead of an abstract, perpetual, ongoing, all-encompassing phenomena with all the cogent awareness of a rock, utterly unaware of and unconcerned with anything in the Universe around it. At all.
Philosophers call it “the breath of God”. That colours the Mind: if God hiccoughed, would Galaxies disappear? If He sneezed, would the Universe be destroyed as matter itself was disintegrated in paroxysms of nuclear oscillations?
Time is a force, a condition within which the universe operates. Time has an effect on all matter, for all creation changes over time, but there is no apparent reciprocal action, for nothing found in the natural Universe seems to affect time, except the conditions of radical and illogical environment offered by the Singularity. It is just a universal law, a condition with which everything other than time must cope. Like all natural laws of the Universe, it may be stretched, sped up, slowed down, warped, locally distorted, disturbed, and predicted. However, it cannot be fully stopped, and especially not reversed: to do so could lead to severe and reprehensible paradox. Not even the mighty Singularity can accomplish this, no matter the strength of it. No matter how close to zero advancement it may reach, it will never reach zero. To do so would be catastrophic.
And yet, with all we do know about it, it is very difficult to properly define or understand time. We tend to treat it as if it were a commodity over which we held some form of control, which we, of course, do not. Nor could we ever exert any control over time, unless that were of its perception, and even then, control extends only to our abilities to perceive the passage of time, and not to time itself… no, not at all. Even with computer enhancement, we can only see how time affects things in increasingly smaller units, and even that is an observation of a material’s reaction to time as a stimulus, not any relevant observation based upon any capacity to change time itself.
Time travel is a scientific preoccupation that takes much cranial horsepower that could likely be spent as a wiser investment on more useful pursuits. As an exotic form of science fiction, it is an acceptable form of entertainment. In most possible scenarios, it is just too difficult to achieve a travel event that is not catastrophic. Or, even if it were possible, you could not do anything to change the past that would not disrupt the future! And you know how, whenever faced with a choice, humans unerringly choose the right path first… (NOT!)
Hmmmmm…
OK, because it is not in our nature to leave well enough alone, let’s try to find a way to consider this time business that doesn’t lead to paradox.
PROBLEM:
Whether you are considering an event in terms of actual temporal kinetic displacement, conditional precognitive prediction, or as a refinement of historical observation, the problems to be overcome are similar.
· You must establish conditions within which the chosen point(s) may be observed.
· You must be sure that the event will indeed be accurately observed through being a proper temporal integrity and the true result of free will decisions made across the temporal period(s) of investigation.
BACKGROUND:
To determine where next to go and what next to do, let us review the observable conditions of how time operates in general:
· Time began on or before the first day of existence of the current Universe (or the Universe that is the subject of observation). T(o) =/< 0
· Time will end* on or after the last day of existence of the current Universe (or the Universe that is the subject of observation). T(n) =/> W
* - Time only “ends” with the cessation of all available sensory energy of any actual or virtual entity capable of observing it. Whether time ever actually “ends” is an unprovable theoretical concept. Matter will become inert (2nd law of thermodynamics), but that has no bearing on time, which is not a thing but a condition.
· The “current point in time” is somewhere between the two. T(cp) =>0,< p="">
· Time tends to flow at a reasonably steady rate, from beginning to end, most dependably measured by minute degeneration of radioactive isotopes by transmutive disintegration
· The future does not exist. Something we would consider to be “in the future” may exist, but we will not be sure of that until it comes now. We can only experience the future in our current awareness in retrospect, as it becomes an observable state of being in the period of now. If we cannot be there until now, from the standpoint of observation, we can only witness the event as nowwhen.
· The past does not exist. Something we would consider to be “in the past” may exist, but only if someone recorded it by memory or artifice when it transited the present as an observable state of being in the period of now. From the standpoint of observation, we can only witness any such event as nowthen.
· The only state of being in existence is the period of now. Nothing else exists in reality except as memory or recorded history, and retention or details thereof may deteriorate over time when stored by any biological, magnetic or digital media.
SOLUTION:
Let us attempt a structured solution of this problem by building a model of temporal reality using all that we have already discovered, to define what else we must learn or use to find a final resolution.
1. Consider the path of apparent reality of the current Universe (or the Universe under observation) to be a timeline of infinite length stretching from when (beginning; left side) to then (end; right side). Let us call this the Timeline of the eternal now.
2. Any point placed on that timeline will represent “now” when the Universe reaches, i.e. inhabits that point.
3. Everything related to the event or condition to be observed at the point of observation (Po) shall be known and agreed to be the result of an infinite number of free will decisions taken to get to this point, occurring without predestination or prejudice, consisting only of the natural chain of events required to get there.
4. Since the only existence that can be verified is now*, the Universe becomes as a 2-dimensional construct (similar to a picture) that contains a 3-dimensional reality that can move down the timeline of the eternal now.
*Now is actually a very short period of time that is constantly renewing itself. It is probably reasonable to think of it as between 1 second and 2 minutes long. The maximum length of time that now can exist might be considered to be the sum of time required for the event to transit the point boundaries (Total Time, T = p2-p1)
THEORY:
To observe an accurate event or occurrence at a specific time and location, one must merely move down the timeline of the eternal now to the point of the event, and record the event using any appropriate and available media as it occurs. Whatever is seen will be accurate, as it occurred, and will have both occurred and been recorded without predestination or prejudice. When finished, you will have recorded the event for posterity.
As this point, everything fits into a logical frame rather nicely, except for one small matter… You can’t physically do this, as a material being, in this Universe of dense matter, at this point in our evolution!
Of course… we could do it… if we… *
Hmmmmm…

Big Events!
June 15, 2009
Wow! The years pass fast!
On April 10th, 2008 my grandson Grayson Thomas Morris was born (on his mom Emily's birthday, no less!).
Now it's a year past that, and Happy First Birthday, Grayson.
Dave (my son, Grayson's Dad) and Emily got married on May 29th (hope I didn't screw that up). Bev and I really wanted to go, but just couldn't do it (you know how it is - ol' folks on SS, etc), so my wonderful sons, Brand and Dave, chipped in and got us a ticket to the bonnie affair!
Wonderful, precious boys! (sniff*)
Had a BALL. Saw Dave's mom sandy after all these 45+ years... We were nice to each other. My wife Bev had a good visit with her. (Not sure what to make of that...)
God it was great! BEAUTIFUL wedding, loved the night before, when Em's grandma went for a ride on Gary's Harley. She got a super kick out of that!
Well, more later...

It's one of my son's birthday today. This is from him...
Interesting trivia
In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb". Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language. Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. What that means I don't know ?????
Coca-Cola was originally green.It is impossible to lick your elbow.The average number of people airborne over the US any given hour: 61,000Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer.Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king in history: Spades - King DavidHearts - CharlemagneClubs -Alexander, the GreatDiamonds - Julius CaesarIf a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
Q. What do bullet-proof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers, and laser printers all have in common?A. All invented by women.Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil?A. HoneyIn Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "good night, sleep tight." It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's"Many years ago in England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice. Don't delete this just because it looks weird. Believe it or not, you can read it.I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg.
