Not much time to read blogs working for the mess that is the U.S. Congress and all (whoever likened our legistlative process to sausage making was being profoundly unfair to the sausage guys, trust me).

Curiosity and an open mind are two things I try to cultivate in myself.<br /><br />I love learning things I <I>don't already know</I> and I love the friends who challenge me, who argue with me and who present me with alternative points of view. Nothing is more fun than to have one of those AHA breakthrough moments when my mind actually gets out of its rut and discovers a different perspective.<br /><br />Thank you for this and oh the gardenias! I can smell them from here.

Since cells are run by electricity, and the brain controls the cells, he believed if he told his cells not to accelerate toward the ground, he would be able to float in the air. He was not successful.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076973960956565537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-27942307416377371692009-05-04T21:09:00.000-07:002009-05-04T21:09:00.000-07:00Yes, I think about all those things from time to t...Yes, I think about all those things from time to time.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09387041422819664987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030581.post-14526962538309075842009-05-04T17:44:00.000-07:002009-05-04T17:44:00.000-07:00Our minds conception and now we are afraid?

But there is a latent strain of behavior (my dna) that calls me to bend/tweak/push/modify, not completely but sometimes-OH so throughly the laws of..??.. So can I mess with the laws of thermo---(can't even say it) without burning my house down, or does that just mean point the firecracker thingy away from your face?
