Dreams go even farther back...

So there I was, dreaming of being asleep on a chair with a book under my butt riding a thermal above the airport. I had to scooch a bit to rock the chair off the thermal and land crashing on the earth, but being a paratrooper, it was okay and gentler than a real chair without airbag, chute or aerodynamic ability. The airport was in Albert Lea, Minnesota, where my father started his flying career, and I had played in the corn fields and rows of crops. It was being run by immigrants from southern Asia, hollow and as flimsy as dreams are. Time to wake up.


Only two things in the news, one about Colorado and the shooter and the        . Yep, there isn't any reason to watch that coverage, the shooter didn't look like me, and he is under some restraints.

The NCAA has shown as much love for football at Penn State as it has for money. Which is likely why it is a bigger problem than America wants to face. There have been bad people doing terrible things to children forever - many of them in powerful positions, many of them looked at as little gods - to be followed and worshiped. The NCAA also decided to change History, wiping out victories won on the football field by real players and teams because they haven't a clue about how abusing children makes such a winning coach. Did it give Penn State an advantage? Making it unfair to struggle against a University that didn't embrace embracing naked boys by sick sexual predators? No one wants to say that the coach was so bent because he was a repressed homosexual - which may not be true either - but what he did was wrong and should have been stopped by society immediately, but that little fear of failure, confrontation and such - it had to be hidden away. Until it gets to collapse of the soul. Penn State should close the entire Football program down, use the non-money gathering sports to teach the good stuff about sports. But somehow money is going to corrupt the contests, challenges and glory. Too many little people think that money counts, big time.

It goes to Presidential candidates hiding tax returns, school records, and other things they do in the dark... why are we afraid? We don't trust in the Lord, and our government and lives are shallow, hollow and empty?
