Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
I was hoping to get another skinny dip in but the weather had other ideas..over the last few days there's been a drop in temperature it's been overcast rainy...
Anyhow I'm off to catch the ferry in a couple of hours, the start of my journey to the UK and Europe...Ferry, airport bus and plane, then my son is going to pick me up at Heathrow Wednesday morning UK time...

I am looking forward to watching the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. Eliud Kipchoge, the best marathoner in history and the first person to break the 2:00:00h barrier, will be running. Due to his age, this might be one of his last marathons. He is wise, simple, and determined, and I also enjoy watching his talks.
Here's how good Kipchoge is: he won the Berlin Marathon on Sunday, running totally alone in front for the last 10km. But, he did not break (his) world record nor run under 2hrs, so noone was particularly impressed

Re: Letting go of games
More questions?
Is life not like an Adventure game itself? Were we not all originally born with a blank mind? Is not the object of life to acquire the knowledge so that all of what we do and what we say is successful, works for us. When things work well are we not rewarded with feel good? And when we fail, and our doings and sayings are not working for us, are we not punished with feel bad? Is the object of life not to get passed failures and turn those into successes? Are there not winners and losers in this game?
If life is a game itself and games are fun, why not just play that one?

Re: Buddhist quotes
“You must examine yourself. Know who you are. Know your body and mind by simply watching. In sitting, in sleeping, in eating, know your limits. Use wisdom. The practice is not to try to achieve anything. Just be mindful of what is. Our whole meditation is looking directly at the mind. You will see suffering, its cause and its end. But you must have patience; much patience and endurance. Gradually you will learn.”

The NASA mission Osiris-Rex is bringing back asteroid material, people are hoping to see a bit more of the solar systems history revealed.

Found a nice place to rest for a bit when I go out. Surprisingly few people give it much attention but it's quite peaceful.
