On sign the day I left town, the same day as the Teams return FROM Omaha. A Four Day celebration, parade, pep-rallies ensued, as a positive wave of Recognition as "GAMECOCK NATION": being
2010: NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL CHAMPS!!!!!
WHETHER BANDWAGON FAN, OR LONG TIME DIE HARD (--(ME SINCE 1972)-- MY FIRST YEAR AT SOUTH CAROLINA......THIS REALLY ENERGIZED A TOWN!!!!!!!
A SENSE OFHONEST TO GOODNESS BELONGING, AND THIS TIME NOT IN THE WAKE OF SOME TRADGEDY THAT PULLS US ALL TOGETHER--
BUT A RARE TRIUMPH OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND THEIR EXTENSIONS.....!

This positive wave coincided with a couple of other SEEMINGLY CHANCE happenings, which I neither perceive to be CHANCE- Nor Just "HAPPENINGS". I still believe we are free will and free choice agents, but that God definitely has Plans for us to Serve the Body as best we can. I do that by Blogging, Praying, Journaling, Encouraging.. and trying to love almost EVERY ONE !! and getting back - 100 FOLD IN RETURN. IT'S A WIN/WIN RIGHT NOW.
It really works for me--and allows a lot of Freedom in what may at first appear restrictive.
Any time Religion RESTRICTS me consistently, restricts A Personal freedom without just cause: I DROP IT!!! OR AT LEAST QUESTION IT!!! DON'T JUST TAKE EVERYTHING AT FACE VALUE- UNLESS IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU TO DO THAT and accept the consequences. For some this is enough, it's as far as they want to go/ explore...... cool!. THERE IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY UNDER every bush!! AR AR-- I WORKED IN A PRESIDENT'S NAME BY ACCIDENT-- FREUDIAN SLIP?)
Religion-
restricts!! / Belief Systems : Believe, respect, reflect, grow , learn,
develop, change, adapt.......
(WHILE HOLDING CERTAIN TENANTS OF THE FAITH AS
IRREVOCABLE, IMMUTABLE AND FINAL).

found lying just like this in the dirt road, I immediately stopped, stooped, studied, went; Whack, Whack, Whack, on a Metal Fence post-- and the Rusty Iron Hole was Born...aka "The Whack on Fence Theory vs. Divine Intervention by John.
I FOUND A COOL OXIDIZED THING!!!!!
and that's it!
in a
NEVER-ENDING QUEST FOR
Truth, Justice & the American Way.........(Just saw a special on Superman..) yes! I'm a sad case!
Painful first Experience..note to self.....
I DON'T KNOW- to answer you honestly--I just held it up--then re held it up and took a picture through it--that was THE PROCESS---simple...IT WAS THERE.... i did it!
Just experimenting with settings, distance, backgrounds.....it was an awesome 45 minutes playing with a Rusty Hole!
