Some call it an interruption
I see it as a great opportunity
Some call it a dumb question
I see that it masks a brilliant inquiry
Some call it a discipline problem
I see a butterfly emerging from its cocoon
Some call my classroom boring
I see and say it's so boring it's ridiculous
I have better things to do with my time, and with their time
Than to force these young mind into artificial environments of dull
Here's to mandatory nature walks, tent-pitching, berry-picking
Latrine digging, campfires, marshmallow roasts and ghost stories
And not to neglect timepiece, transistor radio, long-nose rifle
electrical circuit, and motor assembly and disassembly--and woodworking*
Now we're talking Education
Now we're talking Creation, Imagination
*So much I left out, including: Cooking, Painting, Fashion Design, Architecture,
Basic Engineering,... Let us do what we can; the kids'll do the rest! ~ gw
Depression Is
Depression is...
a dog-paddle in The Tar Pit of Agony
a slow drop into Quicksand
a dark marsh at night
a fallen, hollow tree
a desert of endless sand
an ocean of impenetrable deep
a long, troubled sleep
a nightmare that lasts into day
a patient gasping for air on a metal table
a preacher preaching an impossible fable
ghosts in an empty house
a frozen lake
exhaustion on top of a snowy mountain peak
the sudden gutless drop of a roller coaster ride
the drab convention of yet another day
a pen running out of ink
a song with no singer
a bird with no wings
a mouldy bun
a shorted electrical circuit
a landscape with no observer
an empty coffin
a smoke-filled coffee shop
a hyena on heroin
an ending with no story
a beginning with no end...
The End.
Me asus laptop power onboard plug hole died...so stripped it down and resoldered power connecter. The input plughole had been wobbly.
Put it back together no video...before Sue died..
So been reading up online bout using ovens and heat guns to rerun the solder flow...seems solder goes off sometimes and disconnects onboard video cards etc etc etc....so using online utube articles i identified the video card not working...
The basic reflow idea is to try your heatgun close to a piece of solder time how long till it melts. That is your gun reflow time....when you reflow solder connections u suspect arent connected.
Of course i reseat any plug in cards, tiny bit wd40 to kill corrosion. Non conducter oil.
So after getting hyped up to reflow solder, i didnt have to...i applied pressure to the video chip and it reconnected...ole asus duo core 2.4gig works again....it seems a lot of electrical circuit boards fail due to crappy solder....have heat gun will travel....Don Johnson.

I spy
a comfortable
chair at the sympathy
pantry while huddled at
the blast door near the entrance.
All
Hallows
Eve beckons
like a wild rush of
frigid, Canadian air,
rendering all clothing
mute in utter repentance.
My
mask
shall rule
from the inside
since all grotesque
notions begin their lurch
toward inevitable conclusions
in the cacophony of my humming
electrical circuit of potential lethargy.
