Apparently December 8th is a day of remembrance. According to my favourite reference source, CBC radio, 20 years ago today the World Wide Web was born. It was launched in Geneva, Switzerland. Did you know that no one owns the Web? I didn't know that. Because no one owns it, it is not subject to any controls. I really like that. The part of me that appreciates freedom of speech, thought and expression really likes that. There is no doubt a flip side that isn't as good but for right now I am just enjoying the fact that the Web isn't under anyone's control. Also 30 years ago today John Lennon was assassinated. I guess almost everyone knows that because I read it on the computer. I was a little surprised by the word "assassinated" I thought only politicans and Royalty could be assassinated. I thought everyone else was murdered. What is the difference anyway? Is there a difference? Just one of things that make me think. Like people in wars who are killed by "friendly fire". Are soldiers who killed by "friendly fire" entitled to whatever benefits that soldiers killed by enemy fire are?? I hope so.
I went into Walkerton today and picked my car from my last job. It has been sitting there since Sunday and I feel really proud of myself for driving in the snow and wind that we are experiencing. I didn't like it, I didn't enjoy it but I did it. Now as soon as I get the nerve and a nice sunny day I will go home. I am missing my family. I have the house to myself for a couple of hours as Harold is out. Being alone in a house is one of my "Solitary Indulgences". I like it, I enjoy it. I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much if I knew it was endless solitude. This is my post for today December 8th, 2010.................7:22p.m.
