Themnax my old friend So many years. How are the mountains and the wilds i still wish i was in and the wee critters with sharp teeth.. You played a way larger part in my 'being' than you can know. I faltered and fell many times.. To drag myself up again.. a true masochist. The path is hard and must be walked alone. I seem to have found i nice sunny spot to rest .. thus here i speak. Hope to hear from you Razor of Occam ----------------------------- Short essay on LIFE. No we are not alone.. and i choose to weild my neocortex against any arguement that says we are.

Any who say we are alone must 1st show me how that field would result in just one grain.
