Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 12, 2013

If I wanted reality I wouldn’t be online…duhr.

I do find it ironic to be reading this online…

That aught to set her to trippin’ big time….Hey, what is reality?…Hmmmm….?Let’s take dreams for instance….If you remember them, they aren’t all that much different than memories of reality….What the heck’s the difference?.. And just to be spooky, which is which….? Question: Are dreams reality?….Talk amongst yourselves…..

One of my favorite spots out on our desert has no cell phone reception, but does have a band of wild (well, feral) horses. It’s also over 50 miles to the nearest light bulb, so the Milky Way at night seems to be within your reach, fantastic spot.

Straight from the horse’s mouth!

Danae is the 21st century’s Lucy. I’m sure others have said so before, but fortunately here you can’t downvote reposts.

Bruno, yup, and I have to take a test in social studies in my underwear….Fortunately, at my age I don’t have that dream much any more. Now I’m just plain naked looking for a classroom….much better…..can never find my car…

So THAT’s why there’s a population boom after along blackout!

[the Bible – every schoolboy’s favourite dirty book.]

I hope Wiley realizes I read all of my comic strips online.

There’s no accounting for taste.

One man’s meat, another man’s poison?

To each his own.

Etc., ad nauseum….

I’m so glad I got rid of my FB account; even if the process was more painful than a Senate hearing.

Story of my life, tho in my case what “intervened” on my half was a bird, not a horse..As for road trips to reality, almost there…

That was a series on PBS, right? They did several of those, I think. They were hugely interesting to watch. Must see if I can find them on the internet. :)

Beautiful Wiley….now Danae can begin to get some wisdom; even if its from a stuffed horse….even the pertinacious can be helped…

I don’t know what’s more disturbing and disgusting. People who think others give a damn about what they do every minute of their day? Or those who actually do? It’s a legalized and popular form of voyeurism and exhibitionism at once. Why not just broadcast our existence live 24/7 and let anyone into the feed? Take things to their logical extreme.

One of the advantages of my self-imposed exile ( er…retirement ) to South America has been the shocking realization of how dependent I had become on the cell phone and the internet back in the States. I now live in a country where it costs a lot more to use a cell phone for international calls, and where internet connections are at the whims of the Inca gods. I am becoming less dependent on the electronic world.That said, I value, more and more, the ability to connect via internet and have stopped taking it for granted.

I guess the lure of bathroom in the woods has run its course. For now.She does not have the Angry Birds App??

@Gaijinrabbit: Same here in CA, altho I do carry a cell in my car for Emergencies; but none of the other stuff. I would miss my daily dose of Wiley tho………….

Nightgaunt – what was the show? My wife’d love to see that!

When people can’t get a hold of me, there’s a reason for it. I leave my cell phone on the kitchen counter. The only reason it is on, is so I can take a look at my missed calls the following morning.

Likewise, if I am driving or speaking to someone else, I do not answer the phone. I am under no dilusion I am that important.

If it weren’t for the fact that most “newspapers” are online only these days ……

if she falls asleep it could be kidnapping.

They beat their kids a lot, too.

Saskfan: I’ve lived on the Mohave and Sonoran desert down south, now live on the high desert that makes up 3/4 of Oregon, actually, and they’ve all been public land, which means they belong to ALL OF US, so they ARE “our” desert!!

6 months!!!!!… :P
