Clinton Investigation Reveals a Devastating Cover Up




The FBI investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has entered a new phase. Direct evidence of a cover up has been discovered in her emails.  One member of Clinton’s inner circle, her former hair dresser Patricia Smith, has been granted immunity to testify before the grand jury, where it has been reported by confidential sources, that she will corroborate email evidence that Hillary Clinton’s true hair color is grey, and that, under direct orders from Secretary Clinton, she had been coloring it for years.
It is April 1st somewhere.

Here is a link to the original:

REGRET and TIME TRAVEL

I have been contemplating the concept of regret. On of the most popular ways of dealing with regret is the time-travel fantasy. You go back in time, enlightened, and take a different course of action. That fantasy may have a certain satisfaction, but... it also contains a paradox that has a real-life implication as far as my feelings are concerned.

In living through a particular trauma I gained enlightenment. So if I went back in time and changed things, then the trauma would not have occurred and I never would have gained enlightenment, so how could I go back and change it?

So, I can have no regrets and I can assign no blame, unless I am willing to give up what I have gained. Now REGRET is a big load of baggage that I have been hauling for years. I can drop it here on the trail, the heaviest item being my 40 volume, hardbound edition of the World Book Series of Time Travel and Regrets Fixed, which also includes the 52 annual updates. Instead I can keep this fortune cookie fortune, which says, “Pain is the price of enlightenment, avoid one, lose the other.” I may still feel bad about things that I have done, but I am lighter and faster, the future should certainly be more enjoyable.

Stone Cold World

The Cabin in the Woods

With the cold weather my 13-year-old daughter and I have been making a lot of use of the fireplace. I have developed an entirely new view and appreciation of such things as old newspapers and junk mail and actually have people giving me their collections.

But nothing,

I mean nothing

is as satisfying as the 20 volume series of waterloged Krishna books I found abandoned in the side yard. My daughter and I are savoring this series of books, enthralled by the pretty colors as we deposit one per night into the evening fire.

It is,

the ultimate use for such a collection,

and proof that there is some balance to the universe.
