  I forget a lot more than this. Remember what this is? I wonder how many kids know what it is. Even I have better electrical skills than this, especially the upper right plugs! 

I'll be back soon.

  Beautiful, but so easy to grow it becomes a pest by planting itself. But I like Dandelions. (photos copied from web)

I've frequently heard that it's best to be aware of the present moment but sometimes it seems a little too difficult to remember.  When I do remember, I feel so alive.  Life turns into a sort of "High Definition" experience. To help me remember I wrote "Here, Now, Enjoy Life" on an index card and set it on my desktop. I made up a simple chart for myself: Present Moment: Here (Location) Now (time) Enjoy Life --Body (food, sleep, pleasures...) --Mind ( Hobbies, Learn, Experience...) --Meaningful (Spiritual, Purpose ...) Other people can set up a chart better suited to themselves if they like. It is impossible for anyone to be happy all the time.  Life can be hard.  But it is a very interesting concept, even though I only remember to do it about ten percent of the time. Just a few thoughts.

Ketchup will not help this.  Composting and outside toilet combination. I guess it might work, but doesn't look too safe. For people who just can't stop arguing.

  It seems so useful until it is overdone. Here is an idea for use in a workshop or for a handyman. New Swiss Army option for cell phones.
