I am an artist and have lived in Los Angeles all of my life, except for a brief hippie period when I lived in SF. I am currently (semi-unwillingly) retired, but have had several careers.
Cher I’m looking forward on you article about teaching history. For a long time I thought people were taught about the same US history until I moved down South that is.
I think the post VP is getting more quiet because the speed of VP is just so ferocious. It was sure great to see a few great folks I haven’t “seen” in a while.
KQ I am slow, so what I do is have two windows open with 2 VP’s open. I read one and type on the other– and like you do, I turn off the sound. The only way I can handle it is to concentrate only on what i am typing and ignore whatever else is happening. I can’t keep up in real time!

Not unless you tell us you want them to, LL.

KQ do you think everyone else got lost too? I mean, they all vanished!

I still see the VP secession up so I’m confused.

The Great OZ is editing– I was just on dashboard to post a image with VP and saw he is editing.

Re After Chat after that VP, reminds me of a haiku by Zen Master Basho:
The temple bell stops

but the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.
Wonderful, NTL! Basho is the only Haiku writer I remember.
EDIT: VP also reminds me a bit of ee cummings.

ee cummings presaged texting.

I am relieved to know it was ferocious. Je suis fatigue!

Honestly it makes my heart rate go up too much sometimes. I know because my ICD tries to adjust.

It is weird how everyone just vanishes.

Seriously, I thought you guys were lost in cyberspace– in the Twilight Zone.

Hi all, I got lost for a second. In the ether!
