Christmas Dinner with the Communists

Christmas Dinner with the Communists Lex Loeb Contributor Network . When I was growing up I lived in a house that was next door to a rich communist family in Beverly Hills. All the family members were members of the communist party and they made a point of living their lives like true communists at home in private until the time the revolution happens and the new era of communism begins. Everyone in the neigbhorhood knew they were communist because they had a Russian Soviet Socialist Republic Flag hanging in the window. They actually did not celebrate christmas but instead had Karl Marx day. Instead of a Christmas tree they had a communist tree you could see from the street inside the front window which was an artificial christmas tree spraypainted bright red with a golden hammer and cycle cross on top of the tree. One year they invited us to come to their Karl Marx day communist party which coincided with Christmas day. My mother said sure we will come after we celebrate christmas in the morning we will come over for your communist party for dinner.

Anyone who has been to lake Oswego actual lake knows it is a privately owned body of water that does not welcome the public access in anyway. That is not true of the Oswego Furnace Tower in George Rogers Park or Old River Drive that connects to the park's main pathway up along the Willamette river front. Along most of Old River drive the fro

Vines are the Most Intelligent of Plants.

 Ever seen Boston Ivy covering the walls at Ivy League colleges?   That could make them the most intelligent of plants. Vines train themselves to cover territories and structures. They don't just grow toward the sun they find their way to spread their leaves with trial and error until they cover wide areas that satisfy their demands for light and exposure.  Some have tendrils that find a way to spiral around things to rise off the ground and follow the pathways they can take advantage of.  If i was designing an artificial intelligence app or algorithm I would think about vines and how they deal with their environmental factors.    Most plants do also have this ability to grow with a kind of logic, especially the roots which will grow to seek water and nutrients.  Some tropical plants have ariel roots that can seem intelligent too in finding sources of water and nutrients and taking advantage at a considerable distance. If one root becomes disconnected these plants can send out a ne
