George Washington speaks to The People on foreign nations.

Observe good faith & justice towds all Nations cultivate peace & harmony with all—Religion & morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great Nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a People always guided by an exalted justice & benevolence. Who can doubt that in the course of time and things the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages wch might be lost by a steady adherence to it? Can it be, that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human Nature. Alas! is it rendered impossible by its vices? In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations and passionate attachments for others should be excluded; and that

 So much room for poetry. For beauty brought about in the human heart and mind by words. 58:00 Outlander "Famous Last Words" "so pick up you weapon, and come home with me." " "Lay under the stars. And let the trees and the rain be your bandage and salve for your broken heart. Until your love finds you, or you find love."  And images.   OutLander "Famous Last Words" 52:36  EDIT: An updraft of wind catches Brianna's paper anniversary airplane...and lifts it: UP and UP as Rodger watches it being carried away into the distance with a look of questioning and unknowing of what it means on his face.  Outlander "Monsters and Heros" 13:19 "Rodger will find his purpose." " But purpose is not a matter of what Time you wish your life was in . It is a matter of what you do with the time you have in the Life you are in."  Outlander "Mercy Shall Follow Me" 57:42 EDIT: Steven Bonett looks up from his handcuffed ca
No One is your Master if you have Given your Self away.                                             ------------------------------------------   F.E.A.R. - Fear is false - evidence- appearing - real.                                             ------------------------------------------        We asked the tree to wait. One minute. The tree shook in laughter. Saying, "You are surely mad. There is no such division in time for a creation that comes from God and returns to God." "There is only the eternal being in God's presence." "Undivided." "Unity - complete."       "Laugh therefor. And be free, as the life has made you free." Saying this the tree stood immensely still and the birds alighted on it. And the insects ate of it. And the rain fell, and the tree drank it in.                                                  ---------------------------------------- Death by a thousand paper cuts. And resurrected by the stroke of a pen. Paper

  2 minutes ago Add bookmark #1 So in my rainy day surfing I came across this.  https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/doe-announces-battery-recycling-prize-phase-iii-winners But more interesting was following the links I found this.  https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy22osti/80220.pdf some cool info on what is happening in the electric aviation industry. The sticky wicket always seems to come back to charging batteries for autos or planes..or etc. Until one of our ingenious grandchildren discover how to to acquire electricity the way a thunderhead cloud does....i.e. like a Christmas morning fuzzy slipper wearing parent getting a big jolt touching the plug after shuffling over the carpet. Pulling those ions out of the air or off of the tree tops...or OMG from a lighting bolt....I don't know how. But the juice is there to get. Ben Franklin proved it. How he didn't turn into toast is doing it is a good question. lol. my 2 cts for the season. Hope your Airventure was great. I watched from
