Neither and both. And I think it's the wrong question, anyway.

I've long held that the things about human nature -- especially my own nature -- that I am the most certain of are the very things I need to question.

That the righteous bastard in my head that tells me when I am right and when others are wrong has his head firmly up my ass and it doesn't feel all that good.

I've heard it said that charity begins at home. That may or may not be a valuable saying. But I think "question authority" is very valuable. Especially when applied to that internal generator of personal reality.

If there is nothing right nor wrong in the world, I must examine any area of life in which I am sure I know how it is, how it should be, and what we must do now.

What makes something important or unimportant to us? It is only the meaning we give it.

Meanings come and meanings go. What meaning do I want to create that gives my life pizazz?

I want some really, really, really great tasting food. I want it to be cold, with crunchy bits and a lovely, thick and creamy sauce. And I want an artichoke with drawn butter. I also want a banana split with plenty of hot fudge and whipped cream.

Two big, ripe Haas avocados, roasted garlic salsa and some chips.

I want ice-cold horchata.

I also want rhubarb pie. Not strawberry-rhubarb pie. No, I want the real thing. And I want it tart. Also a very tart lemon meringue pie.

Hot out of the oven cinnamon rolls. I'll take two.

A great pizza with pineapple, extra cheese, mushrooms, black and green olives. Deep dish.

Fresh cut French fries with lots of salt and malted vinegar.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

Oh well. I'm going to have what I can scrounge up. And I'm not likely to be very satisfied with what ever it is. I pretty much know what gets bought for the household.

Trouble is, I am no better in shopping. Almost nothing ever looks good or sounds good when I am standing in a store to buy food.

Canvassing outside the DMV.

Thing number one. State owned land -- public land. Half our team was told to get off the state owned land. First Amendment forbids the government to hinder free political speech. Telling us to get off public property crosses that line as far as I'm concerned.

Thing number two. This particular DMV seems to be the one that foreign nationals go to. All sorts of people today who spoke a variety of languages. Just not English so much.

Thing number three. Four people told me they can't help defeat George because they are convicted Felons.

Thing number four. Contributions of $1.00 dollar will be accepted, but please don't tell me it's all you can afford. That is complete bullshit.

to my communities. But I don't particularly want to be important for what I do for my communities. I don't want to be the sole provider of some physical contribution. I don't want what I do to be irreplaceable if I were to leave.

I want to be important to my community for who I am being. The essence of my view of life that adds to the tapestry of the life around me of which I am part. That part which is, by definition, irreplaceable.

That is the part I would want people to miss and to remark upon if I were to leave.

And that part is sweet, beautiful and timeless. That part is love.
