Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

It is December 31, 2020. New Year's Eve. I am in New York City. It is 11:00 PM, and I am being interviewed on the streets by a very excited reporter. I effortlessly answer the questions, making my family and friends proud of every syllable. I am being asked silly things, like my favorite brand of coffee. I am being asked serious things, like how we're handling a certain ongoing crisis.

Suddenly, I am met with an unforeseen challenge. Having seen so many bitter days turn into nothing short of man-made miracles, I choke on the question "What was the most special day of your year?" I struggle on the question. Each time I open my mouth to speak, I find myself hesitating. The insistent and cold reporter asks if I am all right.

I smile in defeat and admit to the nation. "I cannot say. Each day of our lives in special. It is full of opportunities unexplored. Problems unsolved. Questioned unanswered. We say that America is the land of opportunity, but the truth is that opportunity is everywhere. Every day of our lives, we take those opportunities and make advantage of them. Saving lives, improving the quality of life, bettering ourselves as a species."

The quirky reporter then asks. "Okay then. What was the worst day?"

I snap back. "This one. It's freezing out here." and then follow it with a mutter: "We really should do something about that Global Cooling problem."

After about 55 minutes, the ball lights up as the ma**** completely flooding the streets become restless. Some brilliant scientist found a way to capture energy from sound. That's right, the falling ball in New York City is powered by the power of cheer.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
