Dead Like Me

Ah, those were the days. 3 months at 24 Hour Fitness for $100. The old ladies had one side of the pool for their group and I had the other by myself. I went in there after moving to Spokane Valley and seeing an advertisement on television because I really needed more pool time to train. The employee there didn't know what I was talking about but went to make a phone call about it and came back and gave me the deal. That was all arm work. 2.4 miles of swimming on race day with just my arms.

No person has ever said a word to me about any of this stuff.

And yet I continue to find AFTER THE FACT compelling details that clearly support my allegations.

Recently I made some compelling and startling observations relevant to me personally about the 1985 film "Cocoon".

Today my DVD copy arrived so I'll be watching that soon and that is a topic worthy of blog post.

Tomorrow the 1988 sequel becomes available on Hulu-Starz.

I don't really want to watch it but the topic is compelling for several reasons.

One reason is the compelling association with 3/1/2004.

Those are the Crossland and 878 days that boggle my imagination, compelling me to believe I live in an alternate universe now.

The American Presidency Project

Jimmy Carter

XXXIX President of the United States: 1977 - 1981

Spokane, Washington Remarks at Dedication Ceremonies for Riverfront Park.

May 5, 1978

Senator Magnuson, Governor Ray, Governor Evans of Idaho, who is with us today, my friend Congressman Tom Foley, Congressman Dicks, Mayor Bait, Secretary Andrus and Secretary Bergland, many friends from Spokane:

During the last few days, I've been pleased to leave the city of Washington, D.C., and to visit the western part of our great Nation. I've been enjoying the beauty of it. I've been discussing with our citizens of all kinds, questions of great importance to ourselves, our families, our communities, our Nation, indeed, the entire world. I've been talking about the desire for peace, based on a strong America and a strong national defense. I've been talking about the beauty of our country, clean air, clean water, clean and productive land. I've been talking about our Nation's forests, our Nation's water resources, our Nation's fields that produce the food and fiber for us and the rest of the world.

I've been listening to suggestions and criticisms and talking with those who are experts on these subjects and who have a genuine desire to resolve the longstanding problems and questions which we all face—the questions of energy that have too long been ignored.

We now see these problems reaching a stage where they must be resolved. There are no easy answers. There are no quick solutions, because we have a strong, dynamic, growing, aggressive, competitive nation.

As President, I realize that I don't know all the answers, that Washington is not the source of all solutions, that there must be a genuine partnership between me, the Governors, the mayors, county officials, the Congress, and private citizens of all kinds, to make common sacrifices, to make common commitments, to realize the potential beauty and the greatness of our Nation.

It's good for me to come back to Spokane today to this same site where I was thrilled in 1974, when one of the days was called Georgia Day and I and my wife and my daughter, Amy, could look at the beauty of this river, stand in awe at the waterfall, see what a city of not great population could do to inspire the world, at the self-sacrifice and accomplishment that was exhibited here in Expo '74.

I wondered then about the background of Spokane and the future of this lovely site, once the excitement of Expo '74 was past. I flew in on a plane traveling tourist class, which was my custom then because of necessity, and I saw the beauty of your land. And today when I came on Air Force One, I had the same opportunity.

My friend Tom Foley thinks the Inland Empire is an American version of the Garden of Eden.

The Way To Eden [ Star Trek: The Original Series - television episode Season 3 episode 20 ]

Original Airdate: 21 Feb, 1969


KIRK: Mister Spock, do they really believe that Eden exists?

SPOCK: Many myths are based on truth, Captain, and they are not unintelligent. Their leader, Doctor Sevrin, is a man

KIRK: Doctor Sevrin is their leader?

SPOCK: Yes. A brilliant research engineer in the fields of acoustics, communications and electronics on Tiburon. He was dismissed from his post when he started this movement. Tong Rad inherits his father's extraordinary abilities in the field of space studies.

KIRK: Well. But they've rejected all that and all that this technology provides. And they seek the primitive.

SPOCK: There are many who are uncomfortable with what we have created. It is almost a biological rebellion. A profound revulsion against the planned communities, the programming, the sterilised, artfully balanced atmospheres. They hunger for an Eden where spring comes.

KIRK: All do. The cave is deep in our memory.

SPOCK: Yes, that is true, Captain.

KIRK: But we don't steal space cruisers and act like irresponsible children.

KIRK: What makes you so sympathetic toward them?

SPOCK: It is not sympathy so much as curiosity, Captain. A wish to understand. They regard themselves as aliens in their own worlds, a condition with which I am somewhat familiar.

KIRK: Spock. What does Herbert mean?

SPOCK: It is somewhat uncomplimentary, Captain. Herbert was a minor official notorious for his rigid and limited patterns of thought.

KIRK: Well, I shall try to be less rigid in my thinking.

XLI President of the United States: 1989 - 1993

Remarks at Dedication Ceremony of the Social Sciences Complex at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey

May 10, 1991

Thank you all very much. Thank you. Please be seated. It's a great pleasure to be here. President Shapiro, your words were so kind that my heart almost went back into fibrillation. [Laughter] I salute you, sir, and I thank you for the honor bestowed on me.

To Governor Florio; and to the Members of the United States Congress that are here today; to Mrs. Shapiro, and the board of trustees; to Chairman Henderson; Dean Williamson; Associate Dean Morrow. And I'd also like to salute Princeton's former Presidents Goheen and Bowen. And I'm delighted to help dedicate this impressive complex.

Though I must say that I'm glad that this is May and not the first snowfall. I don't think Barbara would let me take place in your special brand of Olympics. [Laughter]

Seriously, I'm honored to receive an honorary degree from Princeton. Imagine: a son of Yale getting a Princeton degree. "Son of Yale" -- you can snicker, but you ought to hear what they call me in Washington. [Laughter]

Have you ever seen a red wagon this big?

This “larger than life” symbol of childhood is also an interactive sculpture. The handle doubles as a slide! Relax on a park bench and enjoy the beauty of the park while your kids play. Or hey, slide down the handle yourself! (We won't tell anyone...)

The Junior League of Spokane plaque, dated August 18, 1990 reads: This sculpture is dedicated to Spokane's children, as a reflection of the past, created in the present, to last into the future.

QUOTES

Control Voice: (closing narration) Paradoxically, man's endless search for knowledge has often plundered his courage and warped his vision, so that he has faced the unknown with terror rather than awe, and probed the darkness with a scream rather than a light. Yet there have always been men who have touched the texture of tomorrow with understanding and courage. Through these men, we may yet touch the stars.
