Some time back, I realized that, "LIFE IS A CRAB DREDGE".
I thought it might be interesting, to some of ya, what I mean by that.
.
First, I have to tell ya what a crab dredge is , for those that don't know. A crab dredge is made up of a heavy metal comb of sorts (they come in all sizes) with a "Bag" made up of nylon rope attached to the the "comb" in a way that water can pass through the "Bag" with ease but the larger things,like crabs, are captured in the "Bag". A steel cable is attached to the "RAKE BAG COMBO" and thrown off the back of the boat.
.
Now as the boat moves forward, this "RAKE BAG COMBO" are pulled across the bottom in "Crab Territory". "Crab Territory", is usually in relatively shallow water from one to six or eight feet or so. In doing so, the "BAG" retains anything that's larger than two or three inches in size as well as any bottom grasses that hang up on the "RAKE BAG COMBO". So, it's this, "GO"(pulling the dredge across the bottom),"STOP"(the boat is stopped and the Dredge and content brought aboard) and "CULL"(thats where the Bags contents is examined and the crabs are kept(for consumption) and the rest thrown overboard".
.
This procedure of "GO", "STOP" and "CULL" is called "ONE PASS".
.
So it is with, "ONE LIFE TIME".
.
.
.

EXAMPLE:
.
The "GO" period which is the period of preparation for the "ONE PASS" (end of youth) gets to the "GO" point of the "ONE PASS" at 21, we'll say and like the boat, drags it "Bag", called "MIND BAG" through the waters of life and living capturing what the "MIND BAG" comes across. This movement continues until, at some point the "STOP" is reached.
.
The "STOP" period, we'll say, is from 21 to 42(low to middle age),where the "MIND BAG" is brought aboard, is opened, and it's contents thrown out for display.
.
the "Cull" period we'll say is from 42 to 64 (middle to high age)The good content of the "Mind Bag" is retained, for consumption, and the rest discarded, thrown overboard if you will.
.

This is your,"ONE LIFE PASS".
.
.
.
.
You can see from that, the value of passing your "MIND BAG" over "Good territory".
.
There can be problems involved, there's what is called:
.
"THE HANG", where the "BAG" gets caught on the bottom on a rock or submerged log and the like.
.
"THE FAT BOY", where the "BAG" becomes so full and the weight too heavy to pull aboard to "CULL".
.
"THE LOOSER", where the "BAG" gets through the "CULL" stage but there was nothing "GOOD"(life sustaining) in the bag.
.
Any of those scenarios represent a "BAD ONE PASS".
.
And so it is with life and I'll end with this.
.
"USE YOUR BAG SMART AND GOOD BECAUSE IN THAT,IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD PASS AND A BAD PASS".

My health tip for today:
.
In light of the obvious suffering in the world,
Both Nationally and personally.
I'd suggest that much suffering results from the "holding onto or clinging to a dieing THING" , be it a person, place, or thing like a bad relationship.
My tip is: Where there is suffering and it doesn't involve a physical infringement like somebody standing on a foot,but rather mental anguish, I suggest: RELEASING AND LETTING GO OF THAT "THING".
By doing this, the suffering "Will" subside and the body chemistry changes resulting from the "stress" of suffering will return to normal levels.

Here's a little of the latest info on the Plame case, this snippet comes from Truthout.org
.
In an interview yesterday, Wilson said that once the criminal questions are settled, he and his wife may file a civil lawsuit against Bush, Cheney and others seeking damages for the alleged harm done to Plame's career.

If they do so, the current state of the law makes it likely that the suit will be allowed to proceed - and Bush and Cheney will face questioning under oath - while they are in office. The reason for that is a unanimous 1997 U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling that Paula Jones' sexual harassment suit against then-President Bill Clinton could go forward immediately,(a touch of irony) a decision that was hailed by conservatives at the time.
