[FRIAM] Don’t harm municipalities for regulating oil costs - The Santa Fe New Mexican: My View

​I just thought this might be an interesting conversation, especially for
those of us outside of New Mexico.  Basically you don't​ own your property
completely, there is something called Mineral Rights .. which means you
don't own your property all the way down .. if its on top of oil,
uranium, etc .. the industries may have rights to that.  Probably lost in
history but basically its a sorta commons argument .. but silly.

It was worse in Pittsburgh.  I owned some land down in Torrance County, NM from 
1990 to 2000.  The deed specified that I owned half the mineral rights, as I 
recall.  Pittsburgh has something called the “Pittsburgh Coal Seam” 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_coal_seam ) under it.  You can’t buy 
the mineral rights for any price as I understand it.  You would own a lot of 
coal if you could.  Apparently the coal under the City won’t be mined any time 
soon, however.

Glen and others,
thank you,

Someone once claimed that as we age we become transparent.
That might frustrate the girl with the mirror fixation.
The link to the date.html works like a charm. GREAT.
I can see Myself and every one else.!

Now is anyone gifted on Graph Theory?.

I have a Circulant Graph that appears very Hamiltonian in 3D and not so in 2D, 
but still interesting?
It appears to cross it's own paths or tracks . (4 way intersections are nodes)
I am just starting to learn this discipline accidentally and reluctantly, 
against my stubborn nature.
I loaded an example onto One Drive
 https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=14A5CDB09AEE4237id=14A5CDB09AEE4237%212315v=3

One connected Graph with two isomorphs , blue and red , with one to one 
correspondence between nodes or vertices.
When I transfer the graphs to Eng. Software I can place 
strut/bridges/connections between two or more copies of the graph and build a 
skeleton out of a set of structures.
It can appear to be moving frame to frame.

I have been working on this for some time, on and off, and am entertaining a 
future public presentation. I had hoped to make a journey to your sunny climes.
Somewhere I have a structure with valence of 10 per node causing me some great 
anxiety.
Maybe by the time I figure it out I will be fully transparent, while the 
presentation has materialized.

 Inverted Solipsist ( everyone else is real but not himself)?

We have diagnostic criteria for everything under the sun.  So, there's bound to 
be one.  I read a fantasy novel a long time ago about a girl who was unsure of 
her existence.  So she surrounded herself with mirrors to remind her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordant%27s_Need

I also have heard that many people feel invisible.  And I know that, when I 
regularly eat meals in a pub or restaurant by myself, with the same wait staff 
and other regular customers, almost nobody gives any evidence they remember me. 
 No recognition at all at least it takes lots and lots of visits to get any 
recognition.  But my wife and I can go to a place _once_ and then return a 
month or so later, and seemingly everyone who was there last time recognizes 
us.  Ironically, I'm a stickler for eye contact and my wife doesn't seem to 
care about making eye contact with strangers.

 Does anyone recall washroom graffiti of the 60's and 70's sometimes eloquent 
 sometimes rather vulgar and blunt.
 Without a time line one could imagine a dialogue, at times, with penmanship 
 the only distinguishing feature to support the fantasy.
 At the next gas station, 100 miles further West, the conversation would 
 resume, based only upon the very recognizable penmanship. The trans-Canada 
 highway can be very long. Does the conversation take on a different tone when 
 traveling , in reverse , West to East.
 All completely arbitrary. So it seems are any and all emotional insights.
 At a 4-way intersection without lights the first arrival becomes next to 
 leave. But if none of the drivers can remember their arrival sequence there 
 is calamity ahead.
 Perhaps if a numbering system is used following a thread title, the Real 
 sequence can be re-assembled. That  Implies that each quote also contains the 
 number assignment.

This depends fundamentally on what you think you're doing when you number 
something.  Are you indexing?  Ordering?  Merely tagging?  Are they metadata 
tags?

They type of music I like best tends to contain nearly nonsensical lyrics ... 
not only is it difficult to hear them, but even if you download them from the 
band, assuming they know what they are, they still make very little sense... at 
least to me.  That's why I enjoy[ed] placing them, line by line in my e-mail 
signature database and having it pseudo-randomly select single lines from all 
those lyrics to include in my e-mail signature.  Nick might think of such 
things as postmodern. 
I tend to think of them as cumulative sense-making ... e.g. the only complete 
way to understand a deck of cards is to shuffle them over and over and try to 
make sense of them in various new sequences and subsets.

If random re-ordering the _moments_ of your life/story make that story 
meaningless, then perhaps it's time to re-think the meaning of your story/life?

 Glen quoted Marcus but only gave a date Wed Jan 28... not the thread. I have 
 not received the e-mail from Marcus containing that snippet.

Frank remembers Pennsylvania law correctly—but we had a very good lawyer when 
we bought our Pittsburgh house, and he simply crossed out the clause that said 
we didn’t own the mineral rights beneath our house, and made all parties to the 
transaction initial it. He was actually a civil liberties lawyer, but this 
tickled me much. Whether it would have held up in court when Consolidated 
started to mine under our house, I have no idea.

Mathematica recently (ver 10) added a graph analysis capability.  It has a 
Hamiltonian predicate (HamiltonianGraphQ).
