It's getting more difficult to come with a topic to write about that interests me. I'm not blocked so much as there is nothing to say. How many times can I write about it being cold. Unusually cold. Cold even for here.
The cold does move me. It moved me to go buy some insulation to seal this room finally. Except for a period of time last year I have slept in this room for twenty years or so without any insulation or inner walls. I don't have any excuses for not doing this work.
The period of time I was raised as a child was always cold in the winter. We had wood stoves, then kerosene stoves. The first time I lived in a dwelling that had central heat was not a house at all, but a Navy ship when I was nineteen years old.
The only insulation available for the ships was asbestos which was soon to be banned. It might have been banned because better insulation became available. That's how the big corporations get the competition out of the way. They just get the government to outlaw it.
I've seen other videos and read articles by the guy in the TEDtalk I link below. He's apparently one of the world's leading experts on the brain and how it works. If you watch it you'll easily understand he's imitating my rap on imitation.

Imitation and mimicry are the principles of evolution. I've written a lot about it, and I'll probably write some more, but having done that is why I don't have much to write about any more.

I do not attempt to tell the God's own truth here because I don't know what the truth is or hardly ever. I try to capture the drifting thoughts that randomly appear in my imagination for reasons I may not understand. I don't know if the content I capture with these words is true or false. The Comments settings are turned off to prevent me from having to defend what amounts to little more than fanciful, sometime crude speculation. Great moments in our lives never return.
