EARLY TO WORK EVERY DAY

In my field if you’re not early to work, you’re late.
If you’re late you can’t be a blogger?
No, you can be late and blog, late and write, and it’s a good idea to be late.
Being late builds demand. Can’t you feel it?
But not too late.

WATCHING NEWS, KEEPING CURRENT

We’ve been watching news, keeping an eye on things, staying current.
Nothing gets by us. With a pump in a water-tank, we find the flow.
My school friends and I all believe a water pump in our tank is an essential service.
It’s a big part of what keeps us alive and thriving, that and the support staff.
But not just any support staff. Oh no.

OFF LIMIT TOPICS FOR DAVIDPDX

Unlike other blogs, Davidpdx has a number of off limit topics, things you won’t find here.
No, it’s not because I’m anti-expression, anti-free speech, or against anyone running their mouth as they see fit.
The online world has too many possibilities, too many AI things, to know the difference between an honest take and a generated take.
I think I can tell the difference between spam and comments, but some topics encourage unusual participation.

THE LEADING AGE, I MEAN LEADING EDGE

The leading age comes after long years of experience, and putting it into practice for the benefit of others.
The best blacksmith in town learns to pound steel into the correct form and he teaches others the same skill before his elbow sidelines him.
The best woodworker shapes stock into useful pieces and helps others see how it’s done.
They are on the leading edge of their life’s work which will continue through their students when they step aside.
How old are they in their prime, and how old when they retire?

MUSIC MUSCLE: USE IT OR LOSE IT

Where is the music muscle? In your fingertips? In your ear? In your voice?
No wrong answer here. It’s all three, but there’s still something missing.
Whether it’s ambient noise, sounds, notes, or whether it’s so important you buy tickets and make travel plans, there’s something about music I still don’t get.
On one hand it’s so ignored in an elevator, on the other it’s the primary life force, the driving element, and not just for Dead Heads.

TREATING CANCER WITH A POLYFACE FARMS MODALITY

Treating cancer like Polyface Farms. The best results save the land and the person. Machiavelli said the end justifies the means. But only if the end shares a happy ending? A happy ending in cancer is a cured patient. I’m not looking for a ‘successful surgery but lost the patient’ deal.

Time And The Baby Boomer Naturopath

Diet And Exercise In The Medicine Cabinet. When eating right and working out hits the news as good medicine you know something happened. Writer Alexandra Sifferlin begins her healthland.time.com article, Just Say No: When It Makes Sense Not to Take Your Medicine, with these words: “It sounds like something a quack would support, but it’s true.”

HPV16 TONGUE CANCER HARD TO UNDERSTAND? HOLD MY BEER

        Hpv16 tongue cancer is hard to understand, but only if you look at the numbers.   From cbsnews.com:   Eleven million American men are infected with oral human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cancers of the head, neck and throat, a new study reports.   That equates to 1 in 9 […]

EXPERIENCE AUTHORITY FIRST HAND

The truth is powerful after you experience authority. From your private life to public life, things change. You can’t always express that unique feeling you need to share. If you talk your talk and nobody listens? If you talk your talk and the wrong people listen? If you’re afraid to talk your talk? That one […]

HOW TO un-GAY A 60’s TEEN BOOMER

Who Thinks You Can un-Gay Anyone? Parents? My uncle grew from an awkward teen boomer to become an inspirational gay man. I could say inspirational man, but he’s more proud of being a gay inspiration. He’s lived life his way on no uncertain terms: Accept gay or go away. But that’s not how it started […]

BROADWAY OREGON, A PARABLE

Two guys, just people who need people. The beauty of life we agree on: the Mona Lisa, Grand Canyon, and Broadway Oregon sparkle like universal jewels. You’re seen the Grand Canyon and Mona Lisa, or heard of them. Not Broadway Oregon. No one’s heard of it. You’re the first. I’m only talking to you. Kids […]

EXTRA ROOM AIRPLANE SEATS? FOR WHO?

  From the crowds I’ve seen at airports, people have learned to negotiate the hurdles. With the hope of not being the only old and confused passenger, OCP, I pay attention.   Walk up to a screen near the airline you’re flying and key in the info you copied at home from a confirmation email […]

Nature Inspires Art, Yellowstone Inspires Nature

    Driving Yellowstone is a trip back in time, and more than pre-historic time even though a dinosaur walking across the landscape wouldn’t be much of a surprise.   In this real life vision of Jurassic Park buffalo work just fine.   By back in time I mean a 45 mph speed limit and […]

BOOMER FUTURE, WITH BELLS

Paolo Soleri Sets The Stage With A Desert Vision Of Boomer Future. It might be a Star Wars set, a home on a distant planet, but it’s not. Instead you see the cement/earthen buildings of Cosanti in Arizona. Some of you might mistake Arizona for a distant planet, and you wouldn’t be far off. With […]
