    The old card catalog brought back a heap of memories -- working at the university library reshelving books during the early 1980's. Things were so much simpler back then. Appearances and Reality were much closer together. Good times. Thank you Carl.

      Yes, observations and reality were in fact, much closer together...although there was much unseen and lying in wait.
      You are welcome.
      That meme and the like, is what I search for, but no matter how I word my search... I end up wasting my time. Bummer.

    Me an old dino recalls Prehistoric Googling with a program called the Dewey Decimal System and writing reports with a mechanical typewriter.
    I even had to use a mechanical typewriter when I was a newspaper reporter during the Seventies, but so did my journalist hero on TV~~The Night Stalker!
    Used a casette recorder just like good ole' Kolchak too!

      Had to use one of those manual typewriters in college and the Army...remember the relief when you could "white out" a mistake instead of starting all over again!

        Yep. Great for college papers Newspapers aren't so picky. Weren't, I mean. Now they have computers, spellcheckers and printing machines.
        Took an "editing" class at the Troy State University journalism school that taught how to correct all the boo-boos with a pencil with special symbols and so forth before turning your copy in to someone at a typesetter who created
        "paste-ups" that you pasted onto dummy newspaper pages.
        Later when I worked for the Alabama Department of Corrections, incident reports and "disciplinaries" (the latter a special form to write up a naughty inmate, an incident report always having to accompany it) were written with black ballpoint pens~~and should you make one little mistake?~~you had to start all over again. No liquid paper was allowed! How about that for strict?
        I got sneaky and quickly learned I should only buy pens that came with ink I could erase with self-contained erasers. What a work-saver those kinda pens turned out to be!

      Notice that it was that prehistoric googling that led to the finding of the first covid test, the elephant in the room and Elephants in cars! LMAO

        Reminds me . . . it was 1982. my first of 21 years in the Alabama Department of Corrections and that's when elephant jokes were all the rage.
        I was sitting in a tower bored during a night shift. Telephone rang. Me dino answered. Heard a familiar voice ask, "Have you ever seen an elephant hiding in a tree?"
        Me dino said no.
        Familiar sounding voice said, "They hide pretty good don't they?"
        When I got through enjoying a belly laugh, I realized my caller had hung up.

      I was fortunate when electric typewriters replaced the manual ones on which I worked for years. And without copiers we had to use carbon paper and try not to make mistakes that could not be erased or whited out (the carbon told the tale). There have been some genius inventors whom we can thank for all these improvements. Now if there were someone who could invent a way to end all war-making among humans... remove the typos from our thinking...

        War Prompted by Humanoids...not among humans but TO humans.

        Yea, we need "White Out" for the brain!

          Ah, what a difference a preposition can make! Still, the "humanoids" mingle among humans and infect them. How to identify and repair them? Repair, not remove. War is not the right tool for this job, since its memes will continue to fester and metastasize.

            Humanoids by definition are fake Humans.. devoid of "Mind" and therefore a Conscience, (my addition).
            They also are highly compartmentalized like old Testament mankind only without a natural mutuality and the desire to be good, if only to stay out of trouble.
            These are the major differences between Humans and Humanoids and these differences, together with sporadic insights is what the Nephilim and Nephilim hybrids rulers in Babylon noticed and have sought to control and eliminate within the Human Race.

            Remember, Nimrod was a self professed Nephilim Hybrid and certainly not the brightest bulb of the bunch.

            If ever you get board and want to read something different, read: The Fight for Conscious Human life, by yours truly.

    The Control Group thing is spot on. Reportedly, data from the UK’s NHS has shown a %30 increase in Cardiovascular incidents among the 40 and younger crowd.
    I didn’t used to be Anti-Vax........but I am NOW.

    I remember using a card catalog to do school papers. And I remember when the Internet came along and references to anything there were frowned upon unless it was a publication of an official journal. Now, my kids don't have a clue about the Dewey decimal system (except here: https://youtu.be/mZHoHaAYHq8 ) and ALL of their citations are from the InterWebs! (sic)

      Can't wait for the memes coming out of tonight's January 6th debacle on ABC which I refused to watch.

        Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I was watching the Atlas Shrugged trilogy instead.

        Maybe I'll have to tune in Clay & Buck and then even Hannity today to get the run down.

          I watched the Nick Searcy videos on OAN instead. They were very good because they showed video that's never really been out there before plus they interviewed about a dozen people that have been charged with being there on January 6th. It's fully illustrated the two-tier justice system now in place. I'm afraid the country is circling the drain.

          Read the book. Read the book. Read the book.

          Far better than the movie. Takes longer (that's a Good Thing) and requires analysis far deeper than most of us can even begin to accomplish. Right there on the first page Eddie Willers tells a lie. Did you notice it? What's Eddie's problem that provokes him to lie?

            I've read the book several times and I agree that it is better than the movie, especially since the trilogy has different cast for each segment. However, I still like watching the movie from time to time.
