That end of land sadness on the edge of railroad earth (copyright Jack
Kerouac - Lonesome Traveller). Dusk sunlight fading in foreign skies
forever. It's all in the shoes, it's all in the hands, that which keeps us
from fading away to other places, bleak and mundane industrial yards on
crisp October mornings when the weather turns and autumn arrives. Summer is
lost once again. It took a wrong turning in the forest and turned into a
statue of a goddess bathing, to be animated in the equinox, once again.
As skin feels the subtle chill and darker nights and mornings surround
us, the homely feelings pervade - of being shut up in a warm house while the
frost cracks the bottles on the doorstep, and decaying brown leaves bury the
paths. Breath turns to smoky vapour. Once again.


currently reading 'Surrealist Art' by Sarane Alexandrian. Bit of a
rollercoaster ride through all the names, doesn't dwell indepth on artists,
but a good basic reference work nonetheless, written by someone who was
there. Makes Beingthere feel nostalgic for times never experienced...

Thank you Brandon Freels for putting such a good question to Beingthere's
answer, defining evolution as a calligraphic box of anatomical forms. Where
surrealism goes, science follows. Discuss.

Evidence perhaps, that emotions (feelings) generated by fantasy (surrealism]
are indistinguishable from emotions generated by real life experiences. And
when those emotions and feelings are recalled (remembered) by the brain,
there is no difference between the two. Emotions artitically prompted by
non-experienced events (imagined or fantasized or artifically implanted) are
the same as those generated by real life experiences. Of course there would
need to be a real life reference point inorder to create an artificial
senario which simulates real life experiences.


Class dismissed.

"Venus has been more frequently studied by space missions than any other
planet. Consequently, we know more about the solar wind interaction with
Venus than with any planet except the Earth. Unlike the Earth, Venus's
ionosphere, not a magnetosphere deflects the solar wind flow However, as on
the Earth, this deflection is accomplished with the formation of a bow
shock, which heats and compresses the solar wind flow The shock is both
closer to the planet and weaker than would be expected for an ideal gas
dynamic interaction with a perfectly reflecting obstacle. The ionized flow
of the magnetosheath can interact directly with the neutral atmosphere
through charge exchange and photoionization. The former process removes
momentum from the flow; both processes add mass to the solar wind, since the
high altitude neutral atmosphere is mainly hot oxygen, not hydrogen.
Finally, Venus, like Earth, has a magnetotail but not for the same reason.
The mass loading of the flow in the magnetosheath slows the transport of
magnetic flux tubes past the planet, while the ends of the tubes continue to
travel rapidly in the solar wind. Thus the planet accretes interplanetary
magnetic flux. This process is the dominant source for the magnetotail flux,
not unipolar induction, although the latter process is present at least when
the solar wind dynamic pressure is high. On the whole, the solar wind
interaction with Venus is more comet-like than Earth-like"

My life is an isolation tank, and I want out.

And reading Usenet fulfills my death wish.
