FROM MY CHAPBOOK…
0400 by Jeff Hess
My name is Jeff Hess and I’m a biblioholic. I own hundreds of books. Not valuable books, mostly Science Fiction paperbacks and text books, tomes rescued by the bag from library book sales. A few years ago, in the interest of not burying myself, I began reading more books from the library and taking notes. My electronic chapbook was born.
This is a passage I copied from Sacred Geometry by Robert Lawlor.
In biology, the fundamental role of geometry and proportion becomes even more evident when we consider the moment by moment, year by year, aeon by aeon, every atom of every molecule of both living and inorganic substances is being changed and replaced. Every one of us within the next five to seven years will have a completely new body, down to the very last atom.
Amid this consistency of change, where can we find the basis for all that which appears consistent and stable? Biologically we may look to our ideas of genetic coding as the vehicle of replication and continuity, but this coding does not lie in the particular atoms – carbon, hydrogen, oxygen or nitrogen – of which the gene substance (DNA) is composed; these are all also subject to continual change and replacement. Thus the carrier of continuity is not only the molecular composition of the DNA, but also its helix form. P. 4
I’m doing my best to stay on top of events in 
Five days ago I made a prediction concerning Cleveland City Schools in the wake of the death of Asa Coon. I wrote: And one year from today; nothing substantive will have changed. Moving with uncharacteristic speed, action was taken in only two short days. Too bad it doesn’t amount to a fart in the wind.
I’m constantly tossing interesting websites into what I call my blogpile. Some of them find their way here in the form of regular posts, but more often than not they languish and get buried deeper in the pile. The end result is that I have to go back and do a bit of shoveling. Today’s item is 
Why the feck do you think you’ve never seen the above headline on the front page, above the fold, of your local newspaper? That’s a question I’d like to put to editors of my local newspaper, the Cleveland Plain Dealer.* I think mercenaries drawing down on our soldiers is a pretty big news story.
I could never bring myself to forward all the email jokes, cartoons and other Internet comedy that land in my inbox. But then I started posting the ones my dad sends me. Judging from my comments and emails, my dad has become one of my greatest blogging assets. So for your morning blog chuckle I present:
