Wichita's in Kansas?

Okay, so I forgot that no one can predict the future. Sue me.

The stock market has just kind of been hovering in about the same place. At least that's what my TV tells me. But my TV lies most of the time. I have to keep it on mute.

So what's new in Wichita?

We've finally gotten some fall-like weather (60s & 70s)----

The leaves are changing (mostly yellow, some orange)----

Today is Halloween----

The new downtown arena is coming along nicely (supposed to be finished January 2010, I think)----

Wichita Vortex Sutra

I got my mail-in ballot todaye. I voted Libertarian.

Besides being the #1 real estate market in the country, Wichita also has the lowest gas prices.

The End of Money Hoarding

The stock market is going to zero. Just watch.

Delivered to the Torturers

Why are people so hopelessly stupefied by the words of Jesus?

God is easy to understand.

You owe Him everything, and if you do not pay Him back with a simple thing called "love," He delivers you to the torturers until you pay everything you owe.

"No Man Can Serve Two Masters"

The quote is from the Bible----and yes, Jesus said it. He was talking about people who worship money, as so many people still do today. He was saying, you have to choose who is greater, God or money.

The stock market went down 777 points because God is sending a message: Stop serving money and serve Me. No man can serve two masters, and who would you rather resemble, money or God?

Politicians also say you should put "country" first. This is just as bad as making money your master. God comes first----before country, money (the "economy"), family and church.

Even preachers worship money instead of God. All of them want you to send them money for their "interpretations" of what Jesus said----rejecting the living word of God.

Surely people should invest a lot more time in the word of God, instead of gambling their grandchildren's inheritance in the "stock market."

Words of Wisdom

Buddha was probably not the first person to say it, but it is just as true as it was 2,500 years ago,

"People are deluded."

I have to add a bit,

"People are severely, criminally, psychotically deluded."

The Demise of the "Internet"

I can't see this minor phenomenon known as the "Web" lasting forever. For one thing, a decent transmission speed is way too expensive for the amount of content you get.

I see a backlash from the "computer illiterate." It's too complicated for even smart people to create a decent website by themselves. And programmers are ensuring their job security by making Internet programming undecipherable.

Then there's Internet shopping. It's inconsistent at best. Let me just say there are a lot of crooks out there.

What about "spam," or, junk email? Why can't somebody get this crap under control?

Anyway, I'm not investing too much energy in something I think will eventually be obsolete.
