SA: This is what I mean. I've said this to Chris and
others quite a bit in the last two months on this
forum. Chris stereotypes me already. Notice the Zen
thread. Due to I can talk about science and Zen seems
to be perplexing him. I love astronomy and geology.
I've read upon on biology, especially Stephen Gould.
Astronomy is not a light weight in the science field
by no means, and I aced the class in the university.
Went to the 300 level courses in geology.
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy was a lovely course,
looking through electron microscopes at rocks, and
taking a week to stare at a 8 foot cliff, fun.

SA: Yeaper! Mentioned this to Jorge, too.

SA: If anybody followed the thread 'This Event'
between Ron and I, I find 'this event', reality,
whatever you want to call this, it is inward and
outward, in combination, that is this event.
I understand how people begin to stereotype and
perceive others, and thus, may feel awkward in what
somebody might say due to who they think they are.
Chris seems to be going through a panic attack when I
mention Zen, and now I see why.
Now maybe how 'it has been quality all along'
might be seen in a different light? Krimel is
professing something of importance when he states
science is moq to begin with.
raining all day,
snow laying in large hillside patches still,
waterways filling fast,
