100, 200 yards. Analyzing things from the shooter's perspective. While hard to discuss, I break down mechanically what basic tools it takes to line a long distance target. How my Buddhism changed my actions with artillery. Last, the premonition on the former guy's recent event, with detail this time. It upset me to share, 2 years ago so I didn’t. And now that it’s happened, I’ll describe the premonition, and how much it matched the event.

Grumpy ghost grandpa gives me the what for... proving political feels, still exist, even on the other side... Then surprising DNA data found indirectly, proves for some of us - our origins have a dark surprise.

Our skies grew dark while we played in the yard. My best friend's mother picked her up in a fast car... "Mt. Saint Helens blew!" - 2 volcano blasts a few millennia apart, compared today. Recent new science in AI tech, finds groundbreaking new data, literally, of philosopher Plato's last days. We've never heard any of this, burnt and buried in Herculaneum, 79 A.D. He had a few strong opinions, and his reported last words were... common. Hmm.

[I made 2 interchanges accidentally. Look for Washington state U.S. and Oregon state U.S. to be mixed up. Also, same thing about Mount Vesuvius and Mount Saint Helens. See if you can spot where! Pardon!]

________

ep 168. "She had no rhythm." notes - 5/1/2024

**CORRECTION: I stated that Mt. Saint Helens blew in 1981. It was May 1980. 6 months off! Pardon. Pretty good ballpark, got in the region, for a 44-year-old memory.

Lore suggests that seeing the face of God, is impossible for mortals. Yet what do Buddha and Jesus look like, in daily meditations? King James described one version, in his rearranged Bible, all while buggering boys hypocritically... We discuss the "Details baby, details."

_______

ep 166. About Face notes - 4/16/2024

A few interpretations of what God's face, might look like:

“You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” - Bible, Exodus 33:20

"And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." - Bible, Matthew 17:2, King James Version (KJV)
