Re: Poem for the day
Very nice, @Shoshin. However, as an English graduate it’s my solemn duty to do this:
I wake to face another day
And monkey mind comes out to play.
Yak yak yak, it never stops.
I wish I had some knockout drops.
Then I recall what I've been taught
About the peskiness of thought:
It isn’t who I really am;
It's just some neural pathway spam.

I’m happy not to be credited though. All rights remain yours

Kiwis would fit right in here. Tailgating isn't a bug in the system, as it were, it's a feature!

Re: New year ~~precepts~~ resolutions
Be careful what you wish for...
Indeed, we have a term for 'politicians', scammers like Nigella Farage. Rant-a-gob.
Nigel Fabarge the backbench MP for Trumpland in the British Miss government is an example. No use to anyone except tool makers...
Anyway that is enough about Polly ticks and other vermin. 
Time for some excellent resolutions for today:
- To have a humour so dark even Maya, Lucy Fairy, and the Hell dwellers have a chuckle
- To do good to everyone, whether they like or not. [usual exclusions apply, terms and conditions may altar, all resolves are protected by Bodhisattvas R US. Statuary rights are not guaranteed to last. Full exclusions available on request, supposedly]
- To treat things as if they are people and people as if they need treatment.
OM YA HA HUM
