An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?" " Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why th......ere is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly. "OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?" The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don't know crap?" And then she went back to reading her book."

A Change of Lifestyle - About Time
I have been lazy again when it comes to my blog, We have been doing quite a bit of finishing things at the lake and a few projects in town. We did bring home the "for sale" sign from the lake for the Missoula relator. I need to get back on my editing of my book, I have done little in the last 2-3 weeks with that.
I joined the Y today and worked out. I was going to join the Peak a real nice club on the way to Lolo, the facility is beautiful, after some thought however I decided to look at the Y and decided that would do just fine. $15 less to join, $19 a month less and a lot closer to home.
Here was my first workout: 8 minutes on the bike (Campus ride on the new bikes - 2 miles), 12 minutes on the machine that works your arms and legs as you sort of run and 1 1/2 minute cool down, 5 laps on the track, 15 minutes in the hot tub and 7 minutes in the sauna. I felt good until about 1 hour later and now I feel it in my upper back, not used to pulling on the handles. I intend to keep this up I feel I have to do this or die. I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and am grossly overweight - so now is the time. I am reading a book - that is pretty good except all the parts about evolution etc, the other science is good and I know I have to do this. The book is called "Younger Next Year" by Chris Crowley and Henry S.Lodge, M.D. . I still plan to get back to walking in the mountains when I can, but the Y will help and will encourage moire daily activity. Also as the weather worsens it will make this easier.
