In the news today....


This was reportedly seen near Chelmsford, Ontario (near Sudbury) around midnight of a recent April night, by someone who stepped outside for a smoke.

I smoked for about 62 years, until I got scared of dying from it, but it never made me see any UFOs whizzing around. The only time I ever saw anything like that was once while enjoying some good weed while listening to Dark Side by
Pink Floyd, one of my favorite rock bands. In fact, I was flying one myself at the time, so you know what I mean about a 'trip'.....

The UFO Network or whatever they call themselves recently held a convention in
nearby Sudbury, which we used to call The Nickel Capital of the World and its barren sulphur-dioxide killed surrounding landscape. The original Moon Buggy was tested there because of the similarity to the barren surfaces of the Moon.

UFOs? Unless some super-smart race from elsewhere has perfected Time Travel,
these have to be products of our collective imaginations, people seeing things from ingesting too much 'snakebite remedy' or smoking wacko tobacco better known as 'weed' or 'pot'. And before you say there's been sightings all through recorded history, I'm going to tell you that 'weed' has been around since the days of Ug and Mug, those intrepid cavemen as seen in Raquel Welch movies and others like 'When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth'. So you can't say we haven't always had access to recreational medicinal compounds.

But if you stop to realize how very far away other star systems are, and then consider the time factor involved in traveling those distances, plus the amounts of energy required, you'd be faced with a virtual impossibility. And anyone smart enough to invent machines which could do that in a timely fashion would have to be too smart to bother with a bunch of ignorant warlike nitwits like ourselves. So I rest my case. Take that, UFO watchers!

    As Pogo once reiterated,,,"We have met the enemy and it is us"...(or something like that...)

    Well I contend that we have met the Aliens and the aliens are us...

    If we think about it "What would we invent if we had the chance to have our own alien?"

    Just how many feet would he have? and how many hands? and how many eyes...noses...mouths...ears...and how would all these components function?

    We are perfect aliens...and...we can multiply...

    Do I make any sense? Or am I just having a brain attack...I ask myself ...Why do we have two of this and two of that? Simple...If one is blocked or stopped for some reason...the other does the job...

    Is God he alien who invented us?

    Sorry Ray...I just felt like saying something even if I means nothing...

  2. @ Uncle Ron ....

    Never apologize for giving me your thoughts. I value your opinion and I want to hear from you whenever you feel like it.

    I've many times thought about all that stuff myself, and only hesitate discussing it because it involves aspects of religion and philosophy and usually stirs up a hornet's nest among those who are convinced that they know exactly the answers, when in actual fact they probably don't even know the right questions.

    For example, we're told our universe was created with a Big Bang, and its descriptions all make it seem to me like a gigantic nuclear explosion. So my next question would be: Who triggered that device, and why? My religious friends say the universe was created by God, but if my suspicions of its creation are anywhere near correct, then it would more likely have been the Devil, because I can't picture God being a mad bomber.

    Both the existence of God and the idea that maybe the Devil started our universe might still be true if we consider that "above and below" as in the Bible might just
    be referring to an actual physical size range or continuum in which the concept 'Good' means upward or bigger in dimensions and 'Bad' means downward or smaller dimensions. Maybe the fearmongers version of Hell being fire and brimstone ( the mouth of a volcano?) might not be that at all. It might mean we go down to a smaller dimension, like subatomic particles for example. Maybe there are other universes, bigger and smaller than ours, and maybe we move up or down that dimensional scale as a result of our deeds and misdeeds around here during this lifetime. Nobody knows, because nobody has ever come back from those places to tell us - and we wouldn't believe them if they did, I betcha. We'd rather believe in the NRA or the CIA or NASA or maybe Martha Stewart - anything but facing unpleasant truths we aren't prepared to deal with.

    And we have the parts we have, I think, because of evolution, and that can start another uproar among those who take the Bible much too literally. The Bible is full of great stories meant to illustrate various points. Much of that are parables, analogies, and allegory rather than literal, but are mistakenly taken as literal by those who haven't understood that God with His level of intelligence would have a problem simplifying things sufficiently for dummies like us to be able to get the message being conveyed without it being misinterpreted. But we, with our boundless ignorance, have managed to misinterpret it anyway. And we can't agree with one another long enough to get it sorted out once and for all. So the confusion continues....
