Web-based Word Processor


geezer at work


Perhaps I'm just not meant to use a Word Processor but should just stick to writing everything in HTML?

If I save this document as a Word file, will Open Office handle it gracefully?

Blackness of mood

I can't get over that this is the 41st anniversary of Dr. King's assassination.

He was three years younger than me.

At the time I thought "the world will go down in a flame, what a shame" - from the song "Please Send Me Someone to Love".

His last call was for a Basic Income Guarantee and it is still thwarted by those sharing his religious beliefs.

Oh, well.

Love.

Moderately doppelgangered?

At the risk of falling into the "all African-Americans look alike" absurdity:





That's Greg Oden.
He "belongs" to the Portland Trail Blazers.








That's Dred Scott.
The Supreme Court ruled that he could not sue for his emancipation because he was "property".





Love.

Astrology

I once met a man in Midway, TX who shared my birthday (3 January, 1926) and we had little else in common that I could find.

Since then I have had a quite mild fascination with the impact of one's "when" because of living through the same eras.

So far as I can determine, there are only two "other notables" sharing that anniversary: Werner Michael Blumenthal, who was Secretary of Treasury in the Carter administration and is now director of the Jewish Museum in Berlin; Sir George Martin, the "Fifth Beatle" and prominent record producer.

I bet they're not looking to contact me to cut up old touches, but I would enjoy meeting and conversing with them.

Love.
