bullshitting

 Probably I shouldn't have gone on that way.   It didn't seem right to just say she died and once I got to writing it it just all came out.

I had some guys over to shampoo the rugs between cats, and sometimes they have to move stuff around and when I came back and went to move the table the leg came off in my hand.  I'm guessing it came off when they moved the table and they said oh shit.  Let's just prop it up here and maybe the old guy will never notice.  

Well I got it out of my parents' house when I left their attic about forty years ago, and likely they had it about forty years before then.  Reckon I better be careful making sudden moves, not that I make very many.  

Artificial consciousness I don't know.  How would we know?  If it had consciousness what would be artificial about it?  Just the fact that we, Who are not God created it?  Back when I was reading Isaac Asimov there were stories of scientists mashing together a bunch of organic chemicals and zapping them with electricity to imitate lightning and they made some wee critters, but anymore those tales have been debunked.

Some say the wee critters don't have consciousness, but I think they have a little bit, and maybe the worms a little more and then the fish still more, and maybe the mammals quite a bit.  Seems like my cat is as conscious as me.  

See this is fun, like a bull session in a college dorm or a barracks, what Old Dog calls bar talk.  Just shooting off your mouth and seeing where it goes.  I read some of what Chatz had to say and he bored me stiff.
