It's gone

My Verizon BroadbandAccess service that is, the service I so enjoyed here last year. This is being written later, Friday actually, during a rare moment when access suddenly appeared out of the ether.

This could be a problem. I have some work I want to do updating this site. And more importantly I have some banking and bill paying that need to get done in the next few days. I may have to move on. i hope not - this is a nice park and I'd like to drop anchor here for a while. I've been on the move since I left Twiltley Branch Campground, Collinsville MS way back on December 15th and I need a break. Besides, New Mexico was my destination for the winter and here I am!

Sincerity Itself is Bullshit

As conscious beings, we exist only in response to other things, and we cannot know ourselves at all without knowing them. Moreover, there is nothing in theory, and certainly nothing in experience, to support the extraordinary judgement that it is the truth about himself that is the easiest for a person to know. Facts about ourselves are not peculiarly solid and resistant to skeptical dissolution. Our natures are, indeed, elusively insubstantial - notoriously less stable and less inherent than the natures of other things. And insofar as this is the case, sincerity itself is bullshit.

On Bullshit, Harry G. Frankfurt, pg 66
