John says: How about this then, We represent Dynamic Quality on this DG
where as anyone who has been here for a while represents Static Quality.

John says: Oh yes, when I was younger I would go to bike rallies (gatherings
of motorcyclists which had the key ingredients of being a long way from
where anyone lived, in the middle of winter when it was bloody cold and
usually up a track where you would have to drop your bike to get there).
Anyway one of the favorite games played after enough alcohol had been
consumed was "spin the broom stick" which involved spinning a broom around
over your head for 30 seconds, throwing it on the ground and jumping over
it, Very popular game!

Do you ever wonder how many of your atoms have come from outside of this
solar system?

John answers: You'll have to ask Erin.
I think I've come up with a project, Like Matt's Rortian project only not.
Pirsigs descriptions hit me right between the eyes, I'm going to describe
what I see when he hits me.
See Ya
