The chaos theory would explain the randomdomness and the chaos that the LW brings to our lives :) As chaos theory is part and parcel of the Unverse, I have adopted it into my own life and now live in a totally chaotic way. I figure that it is the ecological thing to do even though it frequently, read mostly, ends up working against me. :) Cheers, Steve > > > Dave > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Steve Rooke" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 2:11:06 AM > Subject: [time-nuts] OT loosing things > > While repairing my LCD monitor, I took off my glasses so as to be able > to see better close up as I'm VERY short sighted and even the > vari-focals my optician prescribes can no longer get me close enough > to solder properly.
