Well, I am back home inside the Tucson city limits and again have the use of my own computer.
I intended to write some of my thoughts on truth but found that I do not know enough about that subject to formulate (in words) anything new and has not already been done to death.
Even though I have been reading other people's opinions about what is truth, I simply cannot agree with most of them since they seem to have their base in Christianity or some other mythical religion. And that's not good enough. About a year ago I bought an expensive (scholarly) book about Lies and Untruths and how terribly dishonest most people are. I have intended to read it for the last few months. I suppose I should get busy and do so as soon as possible. To add to my overall knowledge.
Because I can't think of anything else I want to write about.
Not at the moment.
And that's the truth.
I think.
Maybe later.
