I'm going to take a vacation and recuperate for a while. Let my old brain heal and rest. When you get older you just can't function like you did in the old days. Peace.

--edit
And many, many thanks to all those who helped me learn a great deal in a short time. I won't forget.

I agree to a certain extent. I just find that my needs and wants change/mature. Just work on finely tuning that brain in the direction you want it to go...

Ah, a believer in strong free will. Well who knows maybe you are right but I think that our range of free will is rather limited. I can decide to turn right or left on the next corner but I can't decide to get my PhD. in Mathematics. So I agree with you on 'to a certain extent' but the part about 'finely tuning in the direction...', I'm not so sure of.

Depends on what you want. You might not get exactly what you're looking for or where you want to be immediately, but other possibilities will probably open up for you along the way...

This is a test. Using a long forgotten spot to test drive something I copied to make sure I got the right one. This is a test.

That pic reminded me of a ride on an Indian bike, in central N. Dakota,
one July day in 1958. A long way from everywhere. . .
