Now we must convert the brainwashed masses to the culture of
appreciating Nature (some call it Gaia) rather than a dying man, and
we would have something very similar to what the original Garden of
Eden was supposed to be.
I hope the Snake doesn't show up. ;)

Yeah, but the Christians chop down trees quicker than the squirrels
propagate them.
Everything around me is a Christian desert, but I enjoy the bushy
Garden of Eden. The evil mosquitoes attack me, but I found the
solution. Those blood-suckers are as hard to fight as the Christians.

I already found a solution against the blood-suckers, but I want you
to think what would have been my best strategy.
Rome: Why Jesus abandoned an Empire that embraced him?
Many reasons are cited for the fall or Rome, including the embracing
of Christianity, but why did Jesus himself drop a whole Empire that
stood firm while being Pagan?
"It was Gibbon's belief that Christianity was an important
contributing factor to this. As a result of embracing the Christian
faith to a greater or lesser degree, the populace became less
interested in the worldly here-and-now and more willing to wait for
the rewards of the hereafter."
This Jesus is sure mysterious in his ways, and as soon as he has an
empire, he dumps it overboard. Are we taking notes to be applied to
the Modern World?

Nope. If I had a hammock in my garden, I'd be on it too!
You are a lucky one. If it wasn't for Jesus, you'd probably be taking
orders from Rome now.

See, I'm in the Slow Movement but you are not in the Hammock
movement. ;)
Unfortunately I only have one tree in the garden, and it's a 6' high
mountain ash - not strong enough to support a hammock. Can I 'adopt' a
couple of trees instead? Come to think of it my godmother adopted a
tree for me, so I only need one more!
You can use a stake on the other side. Or plant a palm tree. ;)
I got a mango tree and a palm tree. Anyway I was very excited about
this article that confirms my theory...
Some Benefits of Hammock Swings
What comes to mind when you think about hammock swings? You think of
lazy summer days just relaxing in a comfortable hammock. Did you know
that hammocks actually provide some health benefits as well? Recently,
many doctors and therapists have been prescribing hammock usage to
patients with chronic pain of the back and legs. Why is this?
It really comes down to gravity. A hammock forms to your body when you
lay on it. Due to the hugging effect that occurs when lying on a
hammock, your body weight is distributed evenly across the surface
area of your body. All your weight no longer rests on your muscles.
Removing the excess weight from those muscles allows them and your
spine to relax and help to reduce pain in those areas. This is a huge
benefit for those that suffer from bad backs and pain in their lower
extremities.

One of mysteries of the Universe is "Why the hell God created the
mosquitoes?" But then you remind me that he was clever enough to give
us the bats. ;)
I have solved my problem though by a very mundane method. Very
powerful blowing faster that they can fly. It's not a miracle per se,
but it works like one. I was reading all other remedies (other than
DEET) barely work, including citronella.
Adam & Eve must have had a hard time with the mosquitoes on their
naked bodies, unless they had a secret that we don't know.
You may call it "levitation," except for the fact that I'm suspended
by two straps.
Other than that I consider myself as high as ANY human being out
there. But my wisdom is perhaps a little bit deeper based on actual
observation of animal behavior. It's amazing what you can learn! For
example, the lovely birds are afraid of the lazy cat. The cat itself
is nice, but his very presence scares my winged friends, and that's no
good. Sometimes my girlfriend feeds him milk, and I have been mildly
opposed to it. But someday I may decide to kick the cat just to
restore the balance of nature.
I just wished someone could do the same with our predatory drivers, so
I could come out and ride my bike. But there's no one watching over
that.
Assuming you have to breathe in occasionally, would you not have to blow
more than twice the speed of a mosquito to keep them away, and what can
you do if they're coming at you from all directions?
Oh, the word "fan" should have been in there. 20" fan can blow away
the most determined bloodsuckers.
Notice I'm trying to fight them by natural means.
Think of all the irregular warfare, and tell me how many have been won
with wind. A wind machine may be able to blow the enemy away, at least
in theory.
ISTR there were three little pigs who eventually found a response to
that one.
Don't treat it like a toy. I can carry this thing to the park and keep
the homeless away...
See what I mean, the war against the Scottish midges has seen the wind
machine in action...
(I bet you didn't know the enemy was so close)
THEY have prevailed for more than 6,000 years, inflicting misery on
all who invade their territory - from hardy neolithic farmers to
Hollywood heartthrobs. And the bad news is that the enduring problem
of the mighty Scots midge midge, name for any of numerous minute,
fragile flies in several families.
*Janis Hedley contacted an American special effects company called
Snowboy and ordered a 5.5hp petrol-driven wind machine, which
literally blows the midges away. It is fairly noisy and no beauty, but
since last August the machine has successfully blown millions of
midges to kingdom come.*
Thanks for the tip. I'll tell my sister in Scotland. :-)
Before you use *the other weapons*...

Amazing facts about those bloodsuckers. It's like getting to know the
private life of bankers and politicians. ;)
Anyway, I have momentarily found a sweat spot where they are simply
blown away. What weapon of those above will lead to their ultimate
defeat? I have power access.

The tiny mosquito can drive the giant (us) crazy. David vs. Goliath.
They are also many, so they also show the united we can accomplish
anything.

Wise Monkey blows them away with fan, and then whoever crosses the
line is "dead meat."
Though I can find a good reason to dance in their presence rather than
sitting like Buddha.
Hey, the mosquitoes have to learn to respect too! It's break time in
the hammock, you know.

It also tests our wisdom not to use DDT. ;)
Regrettably, the same wisdom though is not applied to food sources and
pesticides.

Trial and error until we tame the mosquito or fool them to drink Kool-
Aid.
