Happy Monday!!! Sleep was welcome. We have a bit of drizzle this morning with sun promised later. We have work weasels scheduled, too. We're actually getting stuff done. Thanks be to Allah!!!


And we have coffee, as always.


Everything comes to pass, nothing comes to stay.

I had the Lions vs the Ravings with money on both to win the Stupid Bowl. Hell....

Those picks were from mid-season so I guess I was closer than I should have been.

The Washington Football Team will win next year. Take DAT to the bank!
 
Those were pretty damned close picks for mid-season. Better'n what mine was. Wuz. When the Ravings three-and-outed their first possession, I kinda got the feeling that it would be a long afternoon for them. It was. Lots of dumb stuff. Mahomes is all that and the jumbo size bag of chips.


Washington has a chance being all post-Snyder an' shit.

Plenty more snow today, but it's the light fluffy stuff that TV commercials use. Single digit positive °F temps. Will be headed to negative double digit temps tomorrow night.
 
The damn snow is outta the driveway. And, the avalanches from the pile of white shit along the driveway have been cleaned up.
 
Happy Tuesday!!! Slept okay. Cats are fed and coffee is made. It's quiet for the moment, and that's a peaceful thing.


There's that painting over there on the wall that Mom's artist buddy gave here and then she gave me. You know, the one thatI still can't figure out what it. It might be watching me.


That tall woman holding that guy's necy reminds me of a shooter woman online who claims to be 6' - 3". I'd say she's more likely to be that height than most Litster poster/poseurs who'd claim it.


Cat, get me a refill!!!!

No Mo Sno here on Savage Mountain. The temps for the foreseeable future are right on the freezing line.

Put some country style pork ribs in the crock pot before I headed to the office this morning. The dogs will be drooling when I get home.
 
Its fun to find Wat's Lonely Outpost on the Stolen Picture Board. This and Blurty are all that's left of the once Flagship board on the Lit.
 
Borrowed. Borrowed pictures. Wat cunt be arsed to steal 'em.


So, 11 December 2014, The Cat's Mother fucked the GB now and forevermore when she spun off the PB. It did get all the hate of here (just about), cuz there's certainly plenty of hate and the spewing of lies over there.


Of course, leave it to Wat to create a Polibbible Blurtie Thread over there and to toss triggers out like candy, and the chitlins come a'runnin'.

Barely have positive temperature, today, but no more snow of consequence in the 10 day forecast. It's Beer Week here in Anchorage. I will celebrate on Saturday at the Beer and Barleywine Fest.
 
Happy Wednesday!!! Could have slept better. On the other hand, I could also be sick, and I'm not. Coffee is on, te dish in the sink got washed, the cat sat in the drain rack and watched me do it, so she got her water dish washed and refilled, and it's quiet around here.


We got the Great Refrigerator Swap-Out today, and I think that we're ready. The boss should be down on Thursday afternoon. We'll see. Which reminds me, I need to find some pictures for the inspector-dude.


All of which occurs after coffee, because my priorities are in order.

The Four Noble Truths... The four noble truths result from the application of the three basic laws to the human condition. The Buddha frequently asserted that he was interested in the problem of the alleviation of human suffering: "Only one thing do I teach, suffering, and how to end it." His approach to the problem of suffering was similar to that of the physician to his patient. He first diagnoses the malady, then seeks the cause of the malady, next finds out whether a cure is possible. Finally he prescribes the medicine. The four truths correspond to the four steps of this diagnostic-curative procedure.

(1) The Truth of Suffering. This truth affirms that the law of dukkha (suffering) is applicable to the human condition:
"Birth is suffering, decay is suffering, death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair are suffering. To be separated from the pleasant is suffering; to be in contact with the unpleasant is suffering; in short the five aggregates of existence connected with attachment are all suffering." The validity of the truth of suffering need not be belabored here; it is essentially a matter for personal verification. The truth of dukkha refers not to the non-existence of the pleasurable and the joyful, but to the very incompleteness and finitude of that enjoyment. The imputation of pessimism sometimes made of early Buddhism is without foundation; suffering in the Buddhist sense encompasses what is usually termed "evil" in other religo-philosophical systems, and the existence of evil, caused either by chance events or by deliberate ill-will is not seriously denied.

(2) The Truth of the Cause of Suffering. The proximate cause of suffering is craving (tanhâ), but the root cause of ignorance. The objects of craving are manifold: sensual pleasure, material possessions, glory, power, fame, ego, craving for re-birth, even craving for Nirvana. There are various degrees of craving from a mild wish to an acute grasping . Craving is the proximate cause of suffering and is itself caused by other conditioning factors. The full formula of causation is contained in the Buddhist formula of dependent origination, where the causes for existence and suffering are traced back through a chain of twelve links, back to ignorance.

(3) The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering. This growth constitutes the "good news" of Buddhism. The cause of suffering could be counteracted. This truth affirms that a way out of suffering exists, which if followed will lead the individual to a state of non-suffering called nibbâna, perhaps better known by the Sanskrit form of the term, Nirvâna. If the first truth could be considered to have a taint of "pessimism," this truth has the full flavor of "optimism."

(4) The Truth of the Path to Enlightenment. The Buddhist path to Enlightenment is that discovered by the Buddha through his own personal effort and practice. It has been called the Middle Path because it is a via media between the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification. Both extremes of practice were common in the Buddha's day (as indeed they are in our own). The Buddha calls such extremes vain, profitless and ignoble. The path of the Buddha avoids two kinds of activity usually considered essential for salvation by many religious systems. These are: (1) prayer to supra human powers and agencies, and (2) elaborate rites and rituals. On the contrary, these are considered as being positive impediments on the path to the cessation of suffering and the gaining of insight and wisdom.

While the Four Noble Truths contain the kernel of the Buddha's teaching, and were proclaimed by the Buddha in his very first discourse, there are many other doctrines that are central to a philosophical system which is as deep as that of Buddhism.
