This blog and the response to it is something I really didn't expect…but you've hit on the real key in that I do have a "wonderful community of commenters." I am grateful for each and every one. They are the true gift. I'm blessed by their presence. And I hope you know I count you among them.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-12179565101702399972010-09-24T20:05:56.237-04:002010-09-24T20:05:56.237-04:00Me too -- I'd love to sit there and do little....Me too -- I'd love to sit there and do little. I am working full time now, for someone else -- a company -- when I've always worked for myself for the most part. It's been interesting. :-P When I come here to read your blog posts, I am transported and get dreamy and inspired and peaceful all at the same time.

And I'm really pretty even tempered, too—though I can tend to sit and think/contemplate/muse/daydream a bit much if left to my own devices. Have to be careful about what I think on, sometimes, as I can depress myself. <br /><br />Nothing wrong with an occasional lazy day in my book. I'm certainly not going around pointing fingers! And I did have a good day today; got everything done that needed doing. <br /><br />Take care of yourself…Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-66780958117023837092010-09-24T15:51:26.791-04:002010-09-24T15:51:26.791-04:00CONGRATULATIONS on the finally corrected vision, G...CONGRATULATIONS on the finally corrected vision, Grizz.

Apparently you were commenting on this po...George…<br /><br />Apparently you were commenting on this post while I was commenting on your latest—and truly spectacular—effort. <br /><br />Feel free to use the phrase at will. You're right, of course…spin, orbit, tilt, (day/night, year, seasons) fundamentally govern our daily lives. We exist, and possibly thrive, because of them. In almost every aspect, we are creatures shaped by these three simple things—yet our world would be unthinkable without even one. <br /><br />A thoughtful person with wide-ranging interests could indeed employ this as a blog title and have free rein to write about anything. (Were I a smarter, more insightful and creative fellow, I might have thought of this myself. But as a certain comedian likes to point out…you can't fix stupid.)<br /><br />On the other hand, the optometrist has apparently—finally!—fixed my vision problems. Of course he did so by giving me what I asked for originally…though it was my own choice to go crawling down the progressive lens rabbit hole. (Refer again to the last sentence in the above paragraph.)<br /><br />Trust me, my capacity for serious loafing is rock solid, possibly genetic. I spent the first couple of years of my life loafing—and some would say, I've made little headway since. I dunno, it's difficult for me to separate genuine loafing from idling, daydreaming, lolling about, and aimlessly wandering. But I'm a master of all.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-58947746197056011012010-09-24T13:32:19.463-04:002010-09-24T13:32:19.463-04:00First, Grizz, let me say that I am tempted to writ...First, Grizz, let me say that I am tempted to write a posting with a title that uses your words, "the simple mechanics of orbit and tilt." On second thought, that would be a great name for the blog site iteself. The point I'm making here is that these seven words are broad enough to encompass about anything one wants to talk about — and, for me, that's quite a few things.<br /><br />I certainly hope the trip to the optometrist works out well for you. During the meantime — and afterwords, for that matter — just spend a little time getting comfortable with laziness. As I've written before, loafing is one of the great, underrated pleasures of life.<br /><br />Good luck today!Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-60299322772383614742010-09-24T11:34:37.520-04:002010-09-24T11:34:37.520-04:00Bonnie…

For the first time since the last week of May, I'm able to see without multiple ghost images surrounding the object on which I'm focused. I can't tell you how wonderful that is! (Actually, I probably can, since you've been through much the same thing.)<br /><br />Anyway, there's nothing like a big shot of adrenaline to banish the no-sleep blues!Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-67006727961336840932010-09-24T11:10:42.085-04:002010-09-24T11:10:42.085-04:00You make a lazy afternoon sound very tempting.

Too bad I'm on the run as well, but that's okay. I hope your contacts work out. I gave up on the dual vision things, and are still using the readers for close viewing (uugh).
