hello.  is there anyone out there again and can you see my text Oh good. at least i can see my bubbles making it to the big screen
Yes. I'm here
Special J.  Its you.  You are awesome tonight and deserve bonus points I see that we are supposed to be talking about light travel which would be really cool but I think it is even faster to teleport
Right Where would you go
that is a really good question.  I have thought I might go to some of the far away places where my family are located.  Like texas I have probably been most interested in time travel and what it might be like to go back or forward in time and introduce new ideas and technology.  I have thought about going back to warn the dead or to help people.  time is an interesting concept that appears to have been invented by men so our minds can handle
I agree
hey.  can i switch gears on our conversation for a minute and talk about something else in the news yesterday that is on my mind
Sure
I dont know if you have been involved with the boy scouts much
Nope
Ever since I was a little boy, I was into scouting and camping and learning the skills for survival in the woods, etc. I was a cub scout and a weblow and boy scout.  the venturing and varsity programs came into existence after me
Me too
actually they did not come in after me but they were not adopted by our troop until a few years back (and didnt take off)
Right
well yesterday the lds church announced that it will be discontinuing its association with the boy scouts of america -- which actually also just announced that they were dropping the "boy" in the boy scouts and were planning on just becoming scouts
Yes. I heard that
I guess they are combining the boy scouts with the girl scouts which you would think that most people would really like especially the boys and girls.  and the idea behind it as I was told was that the girl scouts was not able to stand on its own and grow and that most of the charitable corporate donations were going to the boy scouts and not the building up of the girl scouts.
Makes sense
well.  last year the church came out and said that varsity and venturing programs in scouting were just not working out or accomplishing what the church felt the youth needed to prepare them for life today but the young boy scouts were left in tact as programs and support by the church, community and leadership.  And now it is ended too it starts to make me wonder whether something went terribly wrong a few years back with all the controversial boy scout board meetings
I hadn't heard
yep.  It was a big deal.  and it has been hard to see the younger  boys becoming disinterested in their scouting activities and more interested in doing what their friends or other  scouts might think
What
Oh no.  I am I starting to not make sense?  It happens late at night when I am trying to use my brain. when me and my siblings were younger, my dad used to come into our big bedroom and lay down on the floor and tell us cinamon bear stories. he cinnamon bear stories always had a value to them and taught some sort of good moral to live by or lesson to learn before we return home. when  the stories were being told late at night, my dad would start getting tired and mixing his thoughts together.  It was crazy.
Ok. Now you are really making me sleepy
it was funny because my dad sometimes would not even know it and the funniest things would come out of his mouth and we as kids would laugh.  but other times he told very interesting and suspenseful stories that had us on the edge of our beds every story would start with the phrase once upon a time there was a bear named Cimmy and all his friends knew him as Cinnamon bear - or other way around. my dad was really good at making up stories on the fly
Mine was too but he told them on family trips
oh that is really cool idea too. when our family went on trips we would eventually start singing very silly songs or telling diarrhea rhyming jokes.  That really are not that funny unless you are in a really silly mood. and then they are absolutely hilarious and border line crude did your family travel much when you and your siblings were kids
No. But we dream - traveled.
well I am not sure how much more of this i can do. you are such a good listener.  even if you do not say much this has been really helpful to me well everyone around here wants me to turn out the lights and go to bed. any chance you might also get on tomorrow and we can continue these interesting one sided dialogues where i chat and you listen or give short responses.
Ya that works. I don't have class tomorrow
at this rate I could actually stand a chance against the number one guy okay well. good night and thanks again. and as we say in missouri good night, dont let the bed bugs bite and if they do then take off your shoe and beat them until the are black and blue.  Over and out. signing off.  and good night
Same to you
