Republicans chortle that the Democrats are knocking themselves out as "knockered" specimens. This may refer to the damage Hurricane Gustav did to Cuba and Haiti, however.

This is the 4th and final day of the 2008 Republican National Convention. The somewhat dejected head up in Canada including its Lake Winnepeg equation-lakes image seems to inspect the edge of the axe of Orion, a bit like Abraham Lincoln inspecting his railsplitter on the last day. The axe seems to be tarnished and to have a few bad spots on it, the figure sadly notes. The edge of the axe touches the border of Nebraska, the cornhusker state. Today is the last day of the Republican National Convention, and this afternoon I observed dragonflies and cicadas copulating in the September air. Note that the figure seems to wear an acorn-shaped hat reminiscent of a rubber stamp with the handle in Saskatchewan, as if someone were rubber-stamped by the Republican National Convention. Instead of a necktie, the figure seems to wear a feather collar reminiscent of the neck crest of a bird. The Vice-Presidential nominee was Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The cloudy figure seems to watch Kansas from a KU Jayhawk in her belly. For a long time everyone has believed that the Presidential nominee would be Arizona Senator John McCain. The ticket reminds us of the Covenant of Abraham and Sarah from Genesis the Old Testament. Perhaps the axe is poised in the photo to suggest the cutting edge of the Covenant, which specifies circumcision. Note that if the axe were translated along the natural trajectory of the axe, it would impact Wichita, Kansas.


(46d) Flashback to Republican National Convention Day 1: Hurricane Gustav.

Hurricane Gustav caused several government notables not to join the convention, since it was feared to cause up to 20 billion dollars worth of damage. It hit Louisiana as a strong class 2 hurricane, but quickly faded to a weaker class 1 Hurricane. Hurricane Katrina, which severely damaged New Orleans in 2005, had been a much stronger class 3 hurricane, doing $81.2 billion in damage, the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history.

There's a Warm Wind Blowing the Stars Around
Sarah Palin reminds me of Sarah Jean from my 2nd expedition to Tampa, Florida in 1987, the nurse I see as corresponding to Andromeda with her smile in Perseus, the Pleiades, and Aries who seems to me to appear as the Eye of Eagle in Aquila (the Nurse of Jove) and as Geinah in Corvus, while I seem to appear as Leo, Orion, Centaurus, Canis Major, and Hercules, among others, with my career sketched in the Big Dipper and in my cutting-edge resume Gemini, which also appears as the constellations Lupus and Draco. I recently sent her links to my research project for life extension approaching physical immortality, with rejuvenation included, which features cyclic telomerase activation for telomere remodeling to acquire youthful patterns of gene expression, along with many other refinements. Her enthusiasm for writing back, however, has diminished since 1990, although I could still get through on the phone recently.

This one seems to show me with my jaw dropping from Kansas into Oklahoma as a disgusted ghostly messenger stiffly informs me that my old friend Jean in Florida may have shed her mane, praying not to be disturbed, or perhaps as a disguise to go into hiding. Anyway, she looks troubled, perhaps showing a broken arm. This looks like a reaction to some material I wrote yesterday. I blanked it out in reaction to this sight, then later rewrote it and placed it in italics. Thus, it is possible for our behavior to be partly controlled by the Will-O-the-Whisp apparently sending messages through cloudy trendrils extending over a continent. The ghostly messenger seems to intone: "Now I will wear the mane, and the woman will appear as the lioness."

I tried recasting the material that seemed to cause my old Floridian friend Jean to appear in Florida with a long face, but that only caused me to image as the beardless Devil in Kansas, horned like Orion's engineer-hat Auriga, while her defender in the middle continues to protest, in this image with a beard on, while she appears in a surgical mask in her old role as a surgical nurse. She seems to be displaying a horse's knee, probably to show that she needs her role in the health industry. As a matter of fact, the broken limb may symbolize that Jean is retired now from her profession at 64. At this point I finally rewrote the section I felt had caused the mystic signal complex to materialize, now titled "There's A Warm Wind Blowing the Stars Around". It looks like she may be going with bearded company.
