Workout notes Yoga class at 6 am. Then 30 minutes (3 miles) on machines at lunch. I did 12 minutes (1 mile) on the new-fangled gizmo:

Then 2.4 miles (105 floors, or 20 minutes) on this contraption:

I stopped at 1 mile on the first machine when I felt a twinge (no NSAIDS, and my calves are tight). But the step machine was painless.

Workout notes Yoga class; maybe the stepper over lunch.

Late Night Thoughts…or Early Morning…

Yes, my knee is straight:

Why do sleepy heads forget stuff? The molecule that is affected is isolated.

Politics Rep. Grayson takes on legislation aimed at ACORN:

Atheist Billboard in Chicago

Ok, pretty run-of-the-mill, right? This is no more pushy…in fact, far LESS pushy than billboards which advertise churches right? After all, it is ok to let others know that they are not alone, right?

Well, some are NOT ok with it.

But apparently, that’s not how everyone sees it…

I wonder why a group of self-proclaimed atheists would feel the need to push their point of view onto others? Is this not one of the fundamental problems with established religion? How is your organization furthering the atheist agenda? Let’s face it, you’re just trying to incite anger. Why don’t you do us all a favor and keep your non-beliefs to yourself, just as I would like established religion to keep to themselves.

If we wanted to incite anger, there’s a whole slew of other slogans we could have used. This one was the least offensive out there.

…

There seems to be three words left off. The billboard should read: “Are you good without God? Millions are — until the judgment.

WTF?

By the way, I see nothing wrong with churches putting up billboards.

But if people WANT to be offended:

(note: this is photoshop and NOT a real sign. But THAT is what a provocative sign looks like).

Speaking of religion, which one (if any) should you join?
