Thanks for the compliments, but I don't really have much to say about
what other people wear - my main concern is what I'm wearing. Today I am
wearing denims, Wranglers; a western belt, brown; a Van Heusen long
sleeved dress shirt, white; and cowboy boots, brown (not shiny, but
rough); and no hat.
However, yesterday on the way home from the gym, I saw four what
appeared to be homeless persons. One was sitting in a wheelchair in a
downtown doorway with what looked like a serape over her shoulders;
another guy was sleeping under a pile of army blankets, so I don't know
exactly what he was wearing; and a bag lady I saw was wearing an
overcoat with fake fur on the collar, pushing a shopping basket around,
stacked high with what looked like junk obtained from a dumpster.
I wanted to pull over and tell them about the new "Haven for Humanity"
just ten blocks away, but I didn't bother because at the shelter, you
can't sleep all day, smoke, drink, do drugs, and you have to follow a
twelve-step program and get a job to support yourself so you can get
your own place. Go figure.

It certainly takes one to know one Dick. You have been giving a
perfect impression of one for quite a few weeks now. The funny thing
is, once in a while you actually write a post that is good reading but
all the stuff in between is like this little kid in the corner going
nah, nah, ne, nah, nah.

Either put up, or shut up. Just be honest - if you don't know, just
admit it and let's move on with the query. > >
At this point you're just a poser.

Yeah, it's too bad we don't have free and accurate information
here on FFL, what with some informants trying to obfuscate in
the extreme, so we can't find out where the TM mantras really
came from and what they really mean. This is supposed to be a
spiritual help site where people can discuss spiritual paths and
techniques in a truthful manner without rancor. If we could just
get past the double-speak. Go figure.
"...the TM mantras are *not* the names of the Hindu gods. The
Hindu gods have perfectly good names of their own."

Absolutely. What leaves me astonished (and humbled) is the
sheer scale of the free info and advice that's now available.
We're talking about countless numbers of people who freely give
of their time and experience to help their fellows. Quite
remarkable - and surely unpredictable by those who assume we
are all motivated only by self-interest.
