Re: Mind's Eye Re: Thinking Earth

I think the genders are distinct in qualities- not getting into the
political and cultural stuff here. But there are a ton of "isms" that
cause friction and misunderstanding plus the ease with which one leaps
from the particular to the universal. (Never heard of flinging rotten
cabbages- lol- perhaps the birth of sauerkraut?)

We are having a heat wave for the week- really edging on dangerous. So
far, the a/c and electricity are fine and I can't imagine what some
are going through up north and out east with no power. Why haven't all
lines been placed underground?
