Crumby' Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - Helpful Outdoor Lighting
As the trees and shrubs start going deciduous the neighbors' 24/7 outdoor light pollution becomes more annoying, proportinately. Something has to be done. I need to think rationally about what I can do, so those jerk off coward lights off in the distance won't be glaring at me and constantly constraining me to a location between the barns. Also, the neighbors need to be punished for their wastefulness and cowardice. Hold it. That's not rational, even when it is, true.
Let's see here. What has my bosom companion Ray been spelling about? Er, whoa! My old buddy Onan. Did you know that a brand of electric generator is named after Onan? Yep, it's so named for two reasons. First, because it's stand alone, and doesn't need any outside energy source other than some gas to keep it going. Second, it eliminates the need to find you know what in the dark once the Onan is hooked up to the Winnebago. Onan chases away the stygian darkness, all righty then. I think, naming an electric generator after old Onan is an apt tribute.
Why is Onan such a great Biblical Hero that he got a generator named after him? Easy that, he showed great restraint and perseverance; two qualities widely viewed as heroic. First, he restrained himself from molesting children and livestock that he desired to molest, and second; in defiance of the one god, he kept after it even when he went blind. Of course, one might argue that Onan was something of a glutton, too. But hey, most everybody you hear about has a weak spot. You have yours, Onan has his. And think of all the good Onan has accomplished as a role model for the rest of us. How many of us would be self-motivated without Onan's courageous example?
Consider this also. You have heard of Onan. How many of his contemporaries have you heard about? Not hardly any. None probably. Onan is famous and they're not. He's a hero, and they're not.
One thing I have long speculated on is, What would human culture be like these days if we could all, not just a lucky minority of us, CENSORED!!!!
I bet the little globe we find ousrsleves on would be lots different, and better. But that's neither here nor there, this or that, is it? Because many of us evolved in a different direction, all righty then.
Well, I need to leave off on all these great specualtions and take a nap. For the skies have cleared up for the nonce and I need to be well rested ere Ogma departs on off to China or where ever he's headed next. Yep, for the skies may be clear a while tonight for a change.
