@Anonymous(3): Thank you comrade, for your kind comments! All too human, all too human ;-). Since the flag went up last year, one of my next door neighbors has now placed three US Marine Corps Banners (each with a US flag -on the same pole-) in various places around his yard. Maybe he just likes red too . . .

@Anonymous(2): You know, I've never really pursued this in-depth. Just some cursory readings. However, the stories reportedly that Admiral Byrd returned with leave this as a theory quite open to future obsession . . .

@Anonymous(1): You know, you made me remember some sage advice I have given others many times over the years, but forget to apply it myself. Namely, we are brought-up to believe that if an activity doesn't have any marketability, then it might be a waste of time. I don't know how many times friends and acquaintances have started an art or craft, and given up saying "Oh, I'll never be able to do anything with this stuff." Then I bore them to tears lecturing on how if we don't perceive something as being able to generate $$, then it has no worth. And advise them to pursue endeavors for their intrinsic value . . . hello? hello? . . . oh no, I've done it again . . .

The view outside your window brought tears to this old comrade's eyes. The view inside your head means you're human.

Maybe an essay on your belief in "Hollow Earth" theory (?) although I'm not sure it belongs on this particular blog...

Tell "the voices inside your head" the pervasiveness of capitalism is stifling your creativity. Down here in the C.S.A. Texas I'm too busy dodging people carrying guns into churches and Walmart to be able to create anything.

Aww, thank you, Comrade Uncle. You are special in ...

Aww, thank you, Comrade Uncle. You are special in that you have a sense of humor, unlike the dour and righteous Stalinists.

I give you a virtual "Hero of the State" Award for your answer! Excellent, Comrade!

Great! Guess what song is now stuck in my mind? Better brush up on your Hawaii Five-O and not the elevator version.

Looks like you have been a busy little worker! You've added a lot more since I've been here.

By-the-way, I feel like I should give you an award or some-such: you are the first commenter to this blog! Thanks for taking the time!

How bizarre . . . someone who had not even seen this mess of a blog said the same thing the other day (in a conversation).
