10/365 Yesterday my daughter and I spent almost every waking hour preparing for our garage sale (held today). But I did take an hour in the morning to ride my bike down to meet Wendy for coffee. I stopped en route to try my hand as a butterfly paparazzo. Skittish, these celebrity butterflies.
Leadbottom is a character in the film Planes. He is voiced by Cedric the Entertainer.
Leadbottom is a puttering old biplane and a grumbling taskmaster, a real “tank-half-empty” kind of guy. As the proprietor of Vitaminamulch, a special—albeit putrid—blend of vitamins, minerals, and mulch that works miracles when sprayed on crops, Leadbottom has no time for Dusty’s far-fetched flights of fancy. There are too many crops to spray and not enough hours in the day to spray them. For Leadbottom, it’s work first, then … well, more work.
Leadbottom is a grumpy old biplane who spends his life working rather than racing. Leadbottom is the founder of Vitaminamulch, a special blend of vitamins, minerals and mulch that works wonders when sprayed on crops.

So, after looking at a preview to a rip-off of me (Batman, whaaaattt?) I got a message from Jarvis:
"Sir, there is a disturbance in Empire State University. Civilians say they saw a blue-hooded man with a large axe enter the premises. Students and staff have been running around crazy trying to escape the school. I suggest you investigate it immediately.
"Fucking Taskmaster, doesn't he have anything better to do than terrorize a school? Alright, I'm in the building. Looks like the huge hole I came in was Taskmaster making an entrance, he does know buildings have doors, rig--"
"AGGGHHHH! Run for your lives MAAANNNNN!"
"Ahh crap. Calm down and get the hell outta here, I've got this. Where the hell could he be?"

I feel sentimental about our bunnies on this solemn Sunday evening (posted Oct. 9, 2022. We let them go to a new home on Sept. 30, 2007, marking many of the painful final preparations before relocating from the DC/Maryland-metro area to San Diego. The photo finds Daisy enjoying one final romp around the backyard, about two-and-a-half hours before her new caretakers came for her and Mayflower.
We adopted the flop-ear rabbit in August 2003 from Animal Exchange in Rockville, Md. My daughter had seen bunnies at Montgomery County Fair and asked for one. We stopped at the pet store en route and ended up taking home Daisy, who was already about six months old. She ran loose in my basement office throughout the day, or around the backyard. She stayed in her cage overnight. Daisy was a joyous, constant companion while I worked.
We left behind more than our rabbits, 15 years ago. Our souls stayed, too, so to speak. We moved to Communist California to assist my aged father-in-law and remained after his death because of our daughter’s situation.
But my wife and I long ago overstayed our time here. Weather is wonderful, but we floundered like fish out of water from the first day onwards. Socialist San Diego culture suffocates accountability, common sense, frankness, honesty, and proactivity. The atmosphere is (figuratively) oxygenated by complacency, conformity, fear, dishonesty, relativism, and unaccountability. We have flopped around for far too long; we need to get back into the water and breathe.
As our fifteenth anniversary here approaches (on Oct. 15, 2022), I think of Daisy. If do-overs were possible, the rabbit would have lived out her life with us as we stayed where we were acclimated and better belonged. Mixing metaphors, California is a tough taskmaster and its societal slavery debilitates and exhausts us. We must either escape or triumph over the slave state (of mind).
This issue puts us in the middle of a confrontation between Taskmaster and Marc Spector also known as Moon Knight.
Taskmaster is ready to execute Marc as a video from an organization known as "The Committee" Plays on his TV. The video is basically a long monologue, a message for Marc to hear before Taskmaster takes his head.
Fortunately for him, his close ally and ex girlfriend Marlene, along with the help of another close friend, Samuels, were able to stand up to Taskmaster and forced him into running back to his clients.
The three then head to Moon Knight's secret lair where he suited up and took the fight to The Committee's doorstep.
Although I can see that the writers got the basic premise behind Taskmaster's character correctly, it would seem that they did not take his recent character developments into account. The idea behind Taskmaster preferring to be non - confrontational was in his original design, but he has evolved over the years to become less of a "run away to fight another day" type of villain. And even then, I find the idea of him running away from a girl he disarmed, and a butler with a shotgun a little hard to swallow. This story arc was occurring very close to the Civil War event, and during those days he confronted and nearly defeated Captain America (Avengers Power Pack Assembled #1 June 2006). It shows the limits in research that the writers of this arc did when they were working on it.
This issue is a must have for my collection, but the story arc itself is not one that I am fond of.

Mortal Recoil: Total Recall – The Life of Meaning in the Carnal Nation ~
If you are an immortal being living through a succession of mortal lifetimes, why can’t you remember your past? If we’re all in control of our own destinies, how and why have we decided to forget?
Where do you go when you’re asleep? How do you ‘go to sleep’? Are you the same person when you wake up? Can you remember who you were yesterday? How much of your own childhood do you remember? How much of last month – last year?
Have you ever experienced anything you wanted to forget? Have you ever wished you could start your life all over – with a blank slate?
If I want to remember my previous lives, I must explore memory itself to pass through the waters of forgetfulness and reach the dawn of illumination. I must expand and refine my recollections of this life, sorting truth from accretion and memory from fantasy. I must divine for truth as a dowser divines for hidden water or minerals.
I must learn how to tell truth from falsehood, illusion and self-delusion – and continually practice this art, by being my harshest critic and taskmaster and my most compassionate mentor and friend. I must develop a very sensitive bullshit detector and an expansive sense of empathy for the blind sleepwalkers all around me.
I can’t expect the world to make much impression on me if I’m living a half-waking dream all my life – if the reality revealed by my senses is always passing me by, drowned out by the incessant commentary always running through my mind. I have to be certain I’m awake to know I’m not dreaming a vivid fantasy.
I have to be here now if I want to actually experience my life. I have to be mindful of what’s really happening inside me and all around me. To do that, I have to stop my thoughts, or alternately separate my self from the eternal chatter of the surface veneer of my identity – the acculturated monkey mind and emotions that have grown with me since I was swimming in my mother’s womb.
I have to find a deeper wellspring within, beyond the unending entertainments that distract me from life itself. I have to silence the chatter or remove myself from its internal influence, by locating my self in the centre of the eternal cyclone of thought and emotion.
I have to know who it is who goes to sleep and wakes up every night and every day.
I have to know the true meaning of the word ‘meditation’, which has nothing whatever to do with thinking. I have to find out who it is that’s doing all the thinking – or being distracted by it!
I have to open my mind to all the things that the purblind natives of this dawning New Millennium deny and exclude from their blinkered tunneled visions – the realities filtered out by hidebound neo-feudal cultures that stubbornly refuse to observe anomalies, discrepancies and outright disproof of their common beliefs and quaint ‘scientific’ notions.
If I want to have a life I have to walk away from the screen when I finish reading this and explore reality – if my memory span extends that far!
If I am not the sum of my thoughts, beliefs, habits and culture, then what am I? What is within me that survives to carry on?
Am I a projection into this four dimensional TimeSpace, a partial expression of an expanded being, who simultaneously dwells throughout many other dimensions as well? Am I part of something and someone that dwells in all the hyperspaces and parallel continua that we know exist (in implicate, interconnected conjunction with the reality we can see, hear, feel, smell and taste with our terrestrial time-bound senses), from the observations of physics and the realities implicit in geometry? And from the subtle magic of synchronicity and coincidence…
When you realise your mind isn’t yours and your consciousness isn’t confined to the cave of your skull, it’s easy to see how an apparently finite, mortal, death-bound being could in fact be a virtual extension of something else entirely. You can access all these realms and dimensions by expanding y/our consciousness. And paradoxically, this is facilitated by concentrating on the smallest things – or nothing at all.
Staying alive and aware is a continual weaning process. Potty training only ends in infancy in primitive societies full of throwaway people with short lives and attention spans, whose purpose is simply to maintain a dreaming gene-pool. Gaining complete control of your breathing, digestive system, heartbeat, brain activity, fertility and all other physical parameters is well within the capabilities of most children. It’s the way out of the matrix.
Almost all those who could have taught us how to escape the prisons of our cultures by exploring our own nature were burned at the stake or stoned to death by our superstitious grandparents or forebears – but the techniques are implicit in the forms and functions of our bodies; a true seeker will always find a way, and will be helped along by the indivisible invisible hands of those who’ve preceded you, if your mind and heart are in the right place. In a universe where memory is truly ineradicable, lost techniques and memories can be recovered and resurrected.
In our primitive superstition-ridden cultures of the early New Millennium – in which people are automatically taught to be suspicious and afraid of their own bodies and sexuality – most humans don’t even know where their physical organs are located after a decade of ‘education’. How can we expect to have any idea of what we are when we’re encouraged not to look at (or touch) our selves or each other? How can we find our true nature (or even nature itself) if we allow ourselves to be continually distracted by bullshit and melodrama? Will we find ourselves in a sitcom or ‘reality’ show? Do clothes make the woman? How’s the attention span going?
If you want to be cleansed of unpleasant memories or the pitiful painful results of an unexamined life and self-destructive lifestyle, an easy way is to cut off all your sensory inputs. You can do this by staying in a sensory deprivation chamber, by taking opiates, by going to sleep or by dying. If you remain in a sensory deprivation chamber for a couple of weeks your mind will be washed clean – unless you’re particularly adept at meditation – and a womb makes an excellent sensory deprivation chamber, washing you in the warm waters of forgetfulness for months.
Some philosophers suggest that if people knew they were immortal, we’d all automatically be aware of the laws of karma and dharma and practice the Golden Rule. But immortality is no impediment to free will. We all have many of the same motivations to be creative, honourable and compassionate or cruel, uncaring and destructive, whether we have a small single life or a big multiplex one. Regardless of whether you’re immortal or not, the same ethical questions apply; and either way, you can’t leave yourself behind and wherever you go, there you are, for as long as you are you. It’s an excellent motivation for changing the things in yourself you aren’t comfortable with – and a terrible lesson for would-be suicides.
In the folklore of forgetfulness, the amnesiac is compelled to relive aspects of the events they have forgotten; he who forgets the lessons of his story is condemned to repeat them. Until full waking memory relinks the past with the future, the amnesiac is trapped in a cycle of repetition – and hell is often defined as repetition.
Yet immortality provides a wider and deeper perspective into the connectedness of all things and beings, and this does make a fundamental difference to our beliefs, motives and actions. In the absolute centre of the cyclone, I am you, and we are Divine.
Who are you again? Are you distracted yet? What’s that over there?
Your parents and grandparents were happy and satisfied to be lied to and cheated by those who still get away with stealing the wealth and knowledge of the Earth (and everywhere else) for themselves – are you?
Turn on. Tune in. Opt OUT! Find like-minded friends and work with them to free the world and free our Mind…

Being an actual practitioner and fan of Martial Arts, this very page is undoubtedly my favorite highlight in this issue(if not, in all of comics).
Tasky uses a judo move (either ippon or morote seoi nage) on Iron Man.
It was a major blow to Stark's ego seeing as how he was surprised that he; in the suit, got thrown over like a sack of rice with Taskmaster's bare hands. All while getting a lecture about the value of a classic art like Judo.
Each time I remember this, I would never be impressed by anything Iron Man has done since...
