I was right across the river from DARPA and my goal was to FREAK THEM OUT. DARPA is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and they are most famous for inventing The Internet. They also invented Agent Orange and that was pure EVIL but… you can’t win them all. I had battery powered speakers and I made a really loud noise… might have been audible at the Lincoln Memorial… The basic idea behind “Spaceship” sounds is to turn the resonance of a band pass filter all the way up. That causes a sine wave with the frequency determined by the center point of the filter. Analog synthesizers have a Modulator that changes that center point. The note selected on the keyboard also determines the pitch… You have probably heard this sound on the Beach Boys song “Good Vibrations” oooh ooohhh oooh oh oh… Or Emerson, Lake and Palmer [the ending to “Lucky Man”].
Another performance was outside a Mickey Hart Concert at George Washington University. A few hours before the show a group of Deadheads formed a drum circle on the street. I brought a set of Chamber Chimes and made tinkley sounds in time to the beat. Usually a Chamber Chime player keeps the wooden bar horizontal but I held it vertical sometime to cause a more focused clank-clank… I did not have a ticket to the show so I walked over to the White House and Lafayette Park… amazing the tourists…
I took my acoustic guitar to Lafayette Park often. One song that got a good reaction from the crowd was “Deal” by the Grateful Dead. After I was finished singing a man complemented me on my song about a DEER. I also played outdoors at Wolf Trap and sang “Me an Bobby McGee” with all the La-di-ye-has sung correctly at the end of the song… At Merriweather Post Pavilion at the Grateful Dead Concerts. I had a 12 string and was sitting on top of my car strumming away when a passerby said that it was the most beautiful sound he had EVER HEARD… about 15 minutes earlier he had heard Jerry Garcia… I was honored. He was probably tripping on acid…

Chapter Zero:
“You are under arrest” said THE MAN.
“Eat Lead, Copper.” said Merle.
and THE MAN did…
They were at a remote marijuana plantation in Humboldt County and Merle was not about to let Federal Law Enforcement interfere with his profit.
Too Bad, So Sad for THE MAN’s next of kin but everyone voluntarily selects their own career… It appears that THE MAN’s choice was not the most brilliant idea.
The next puzzle was how to dispose of the body… Ecologically…
This area of the woods is home to BEARS and BIGFOOT… Someone was going to get a free lunch… and here comes one now…
“DANG” exclaimed Susan “These reality TV Shows are SOOOOO predictable… The criminal always gets caught in the end. BORINGGGGG. I’m changing channels right now. ”
CLICK.
“Whoosh” went the speaker in the TV set.
“Oh Boy, A Space Opera. ” said Susan.
“Whoosh-whoosh” went the speaker in the TV set.
“Who are you talking to?” aske Bob as he entered the room with a pizza, six pack of Sierra Nevada Beer and a big ol’ bag a weed…
“Nunya Beeswax” said Susan.
“Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-KA BLOOOEY!” went the speaker in the TV set.
“Wow, Look at that!” said Bob.
“The SLIME from the dead alien is dripping onto the floor” said Susan.
“And it stinks” said Bob.
“That’s ABSURD. These new TV sets from [product placement] with ‘SMELL-O-VISION’ are more trouble than they are worth.”
CLICK.
TALKING HEAD: “In other news, Dr Ron Paul has accepted the Republican Party Nomination for President of the United States. We go live to the convention floor where a riot has broken out. ”
CLICK.
“Wait a second, go back to that news report. That’s an event that DID NOT HAPPEN.”
“Oh don’t be surprised, it’s FOX news… they often write fiction and present it on the TV as news. ”
“Are you sure? They seem so sincere.” said Bob
“Yep, they have meetings, get blasted on mind altering substances and write collaborative fiction…” replied Susan
“Sounds good to me. Would you like a puff?”
“Yes. We’ve got some fiction to write ourselves… because this story is starting to drag.” Exhaled Susan
“Hey, I’ve got an idea!” Let’s watch CNN, they tell the truth…
CLICK.
“In other news, President Obama Legalized Medical Marijuana today. Stating, “I was wrong… I asked my doctor and she said there IS medicinal value to Medical Marijuana… So we have stopped the DEAth Squads… ” said the talking head.
Oh… CNN has gone NATIVE also… have we a distortion of the space-time continuum? asked Susan.

The USA would receive a fortune in VOLUNTARY Taxes. If you don’t smoke you wouldn’t pay a cent. We could also cut Taxpayer expenses currently wasted on Incarceration and Law Enforcement. It’s a Win-Win situation. More money going into the Treasury and Less going out. In addition, states that have legal medical marijuana have fewer deaths due to opioid addiction. Some people simply choose the safer drug… DUH…
Who could Possibly be in Favor of keeping Cannabis Illegal?
Corporations that are in the business of incarceration.
Law Enforcement makes money by arresting people, then warehousing them in jail. While ACTUAL crime is on the wane, cannabis arrests are easy and low risk. REAL criminals are often dangerous. Cannabis Criminals are Often Stoned… and easygoing…
and… all these people depend on Prohibition for their Paycheck…
Judges, lawyers, police, bail bondsmen, prison guards, construction workers that build prisons, social workers that talk to the families left behind, involuntary rehab clinics, fertilizer salesman, grow-light salesman, realtors that rent abandoned houses to be used as farms… There is a huge industry that will have sales reduced if Marijuana is legalized…
also…
Criminals depend on Marijuana being Illegal to Protect their Profits. With Legal Marijuana, the Mexican Mafia would be in deep trouble… Are they bribing Senators and Congressmen? We do not know because that money is in cash and not traceable…

So, there has been great strides forward in physics… The articles I have read make me wonder… since this discovery is of a truly fundamental nature, what IS the Higgs Boson and how will it effect our understanding of reality… It is FUN to QUESTION REALITY.
I do not pretend to actually understand what it is that they have discovered but… It seems that this particle is what causes mass to exist at all. AND it helps to explain why spiral galaxies don’t simply expand forever instantly… There is a fundamental mystery being explored there. Thanks CERN. For Your Information: That is where Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. He needed a way to navigate easily from one computer file to another… so he invented the LINK. Pretty profound Idea… Here is a LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee
