Well, I'm not in Texas, but the end of days has arrived.

| "Anyone for philosophy free of politics and religion?" Ah, the tough questions first, eh? Difficult, because in tackling the broad philosophical questions religion is going to offer a candidate answer, as personal faith, even leaving aside organised ones giving cohesion to (or fracturing) communitie... |

| "I guess I just meant compatable personalities and energies " Yes, that too. I can do it if I work at it, but that's a "performance" and exactly not what's being aimed for. <Let's work at being relaxed> is not quite nonsensical, but it's not ideal either.
