I need to get used the idea of living in a new decade. NPR News talks about tough decades of the past. I remember those times... graduating from BGSU without any propects in '80. I hope for prospects for the new decade. Sorry. I'm an orphan from Prospect Street. Down to Barnes & Noble. I find a teeny, weeny green 2010 on the sidewalk.
I buy Tao Te Ching and a 2010 Rand McNally Road Atlas. Drop off books. Walks around Capitol Hill and D'town listening to my Hawaiian station. It's a rather mild day. Wearing shorts today.
I see Jeremiah working in Kaladi. He looks busy. I also bump into another cute coffee guy - Mark. His hair is getting long. Listen to Rick Steves' program. He interviews the author of Cool Creatures, Hot Planet. Learn more about such creatures as bullet ants, vampire bats, hippos, snakes and leeches. Taco Del Mar burrito for dinner. Love the shredded beef. Watch movie - Forbidden Planet again.
In times long past, this planet was the home of a mighty, noble race of beings who called themselves the Krell. Ethically and technologically they were a million years ahead of humankind, for in unlocking the meaning of nature they had conquered even their baser selves, and when in the course of eons they had abolished sickness and insanity, crime and all injustice, they turned, still in high benevolence, upwards towards space. Then, having reached the heights, this all-but-divine race disappeared in a single night, and nothing was preserved above ground.
Morbius was too close to the problem. The Krell had completed their project. Big machine. No instrumentalities. True creation.
