What is snow?
I'm from the desert haha

fair enough. Snow seems like magic the first time you experience it. I remember the first time I saw snow. But it does hail in the desert. Know that from experience in the Mohave.

Ya, first time I can recall snow was when I was super young and my mom threw a snow ball, hit me in the ear and knocked me over lol.
What were you doing out in the Mohave?

training for my first Iraq deployment at a military base. Closes thing America had to mimic and simulate the place I was going.

Ah, if you ever head out that way(ish) again hit surprise canyon to panamint city in death valley. Old silver mining ghost towns with running water up at the top.

ok ^^ But I don't think I will be going back out to fort Irwin again any time soon. Maybe vegas though.

This is so beautiful!

thank you! No matter how old we get. We must never forget the magic of winter. And if we ever do. All we need do is look through the eyes of a child to remember

That's..really beautiful! Where did you get that from?

No where I think. Just said what felt right.

Wow your a genius.

thank you. But I think by modern day standards I am not a "genius" By modern day standard's I would have to be highly skilled in math to be classified as such. What the system does not realize is intelligence is not black and white. Just like law. What defines intelligence is far more complex then what modern day scientists simple minds can comprehend. What I am, is a philosopher. And because of this I am very reserved in what I say. What I do is question. Dissect. And analyze.

From what we know. What we think we know. And what we think might be. Such a open mind creates hostility. And in many occasions I have suffered a black eye or had my life threatened because of it. To be a philosopher requires a open mind and even more so, a strict control over your tongue. It Is a hazardous hoppy. When you present a question that makes one think. There peace of mind is disturbed. They get violent. Enough that even taking your life to silence your words and give them peace of mind is not out of the question. But that is what it sums down to in the end. Peace of mind.

There is bliss in ignorance. But that topic like ink in water expands into other things. Like protests and how easy Mob mentality takes control and how cancerous it is I will leave until another day.
