Welcome. We knew you would stop by for your visit.
This site is a portal; another steppingstone; a doorway through which you may begin a new understanding of some things past, present, and future.

The Five Double You's

by a cast of many, a team-in-one that is our mind, including Mark, Jill, Joan, Will, & Jack

Let us write another novel. Let us consider this another work of fantasy. We have found, in our past, that writing in a fictional manner, rather than as a documentary makes it more acceptable as well as readable. We don't have to confirm, deny or prove anything. Let the reader believe what they wish.

BWYNTB -- Be (Who, What, When, Where, Why) You Need To Be

 

 

We exist only in your imagination. Some will say "but we remember you" or, "we even have pictures". Better go back and look. You used a digital camera. You will find pictures that never existed, and as such can't be reproduced -only you see them.

What you are ALLOWED to remember is, technically, a glimpse into a parallel universe.

One day we show up. We Rangers call it a class-H crossover. You may call it a wish or a prayer. We say hello (H). We always seem to have many things in common with you, both thoughts and experiences.

Standard practice is to use only one name. It is always easier to leave a single name with the memories. Ever noticed the who's that look on our face? We are always Gemini. Everything else is subject to change depending on mission guidelines, but we keep the duality even when the twins are not identical.

Choose the right 5W for the right circumstance. In the reality you have created, there was a need that required a "somebody else" to solve your problem; or, a subject you needed to learn more about. We Rangers travel between parallel universes to be that somebody else, be it problemsolver or teacher; and, sometimes as a student.

We always leave. Usually it is in the middle of the night or while you are not at home so you will always wonder if we were really here. If you are to be aware of our leaving, we leave near the same time of day and by the same manner in which we arrived, walking or riding a bicycle. We MUST follow the calling.

BWYNTB -- Be (Who, What, When, Where, Why) You Need To Be

The Five Double You's (5W's) will vary according to mission:

We're not here to be overly melodramatic; nor do we consider ourself overly paranoid (although the favored time of computing is late nite when one sees a mirrorlike reflection in the window-of-our-mind so its possible to view whats in front and behind at the same time).
We prepare for the future by studying and sharing back-to-the-earth energy solutions and end-of-the-world prophecies.

Me, I'll be happy if the flying saucers re-appear, or I find a portal, before someone pushes a button or dumps a vial in the water. Of course I am optimistic in that the visitors/returnees from "out there" will be more inclined to teach us to build solar-powered tractors on Rigal 7, rather than just fattening us up as another food group (Does anybody remember that related sci-fi story from years ago?).

This is a rogue ranger report

Rogue Ranger 301 - reporting in

The author Richard Bach (Illusions, Jonathan Livingston Seagull), pretty well summed up things in his 1977 work The Messiah's Handbook.

Who you are is someone who asked to be dropped off on earth so you could do something remarkable, something that matters to you, which you could not do anywhere, anywhen else.

I have been following Historic Route US 66 since its terminus in Santa Monica CA, USA. We are encountering many interesting people, place, things. As per Ranger guidelines, I have helped several rejuvenate their lives. Amazing how a few kind words can work on the psychie (body-mind-spirit). Will fill in details as time allows but am on a library computer with very limited access time.

I was literally forced off "the-road" for a time.
This body we are inhabiting was hit by a car in southern Missouri, in the wee morning hours of 25Jun2005. Got off of Route 66 to attend an alternative fuel conference near AVA(route 76). It was necessary to medivac this ranger to Springfield. Both bones in my lower left leg are broken. The back bone came through the rear of the calf. I now have a titanium rod running from knee to ankle, with many staples and sutures. The doctor put a cast on the lower section. My kneecap got slightly infected and and drained pus for eighteen days where he cut it open to insert the rod. I am confined to a wheelchair. He says:

Good ole Willie - "On the road again ..." - which way shall we go? Thinking about little rock.

Getting hit disrupted my universe. Like parallel lines converging on a blackhole, I have been drawn back to an earlier reality. Getting another look at a life-junction I passed up before (but apparently I need). Thought I left that when I crossed over.

Must be some unfinished business in this here-and-now for us. I have a few tingles of the ole cerebral cortex to explore. Guess when opportunity knocks a second time, it uses a bigger door-knocker. I think breaking my leg was a little extreme though.
still kicking, looking for that opportunity that knocked so loud 9/19.
Could be something I still need to teach. Someone I still need to rescue (me?)
-- RR66/RR301

getting a pension to stay here. How long will that last? Hopefully till the leg is fully recovered - which might be a while. Been out of cast for 2 months but the spot on my heel refuses to heal. will it? 22dec05 / 18sep09

Nobody bothers to read these pages so we need not worry about THEM okay?

Larger modules may require two batteries per to provide longer backup time before recharging. 3) allow a minimum of four square feet for each 50 watt solar array capacity which equals 12.5 watts per square foot. 4) A 12volt 2500 watt inverter, and four to eight T-105 golf cart batteries should be adaquate for a small cabin with no major appliances or well pump. A 24volt 4000 watt inverter and eight to sixteen L-16 batteries should be adequate for a retirement home or residence having high efficiency appliances, a well pump, but no air conditioning. 5)Wire loss for off-grid should be no more than 2% voltage drop. This may requre larger wires, and where available use of AC systems (inverter). In low voltage DC, 15 feet is considered a long run versus 100 feet in AC for same voltage drop. 6) An 11amp-240VAC well-pump may be better for your system depending on depth of well and availability of power. A 120/240 step-up transformer is a good alternative to a second/or larger inverter. DC pumps require far heavier wire and voltage drop. DC would be better though for a stand-alone system with separate array or turbine, due to ability to work with varying voltage and ability to run dry without damage or repriming. 7) ULTRAVIOLET BACTERIA FILTERS: - these filters are actually a pressurized chamber surrounding a clear glass tube around an ultraviolet flourescent lamp. As water flows through the chamber, all bateria travels the lenght of the lamp and are destroyed. UV light in teh 250 nono-meter wave length of proper intensity is very effective in killing bacteria, mold spores, protozoa, virus, and pathogenic mocroorganisms. A typical 7 gal/minute purifier will consume 70 watts of electricity and provide flow capacity for most three bedroom houses. 8) Effects of TIME on ENERGY USE: Example: pot of soup -- 15 minutes in 1000 watt microwave vs. 4 hours in 200 watt crockpot:: (1000watts)X(15/60)=250 watt-hours = 0.25 kwh (200watts)X(4) = 800 watt-hours = 0.8 kwh #if your system will support the 1000 watt of microwave, it is almost four times more efficient in kwh than the crockpot. 9) INVERTERS: Many electronic devices will not work properly, and may even be damaged by use of a modified sine inverter. Included are computers, laserjet printers, microwave ovens, clocks, ceiling fans, dimmer switches, and rechargers. For a weekend cabin, a ms inverter if fine. For a house with modern conveniences a good sine wave inverter is the only way to go. Important features: -Hi-Low Voltage Shut-off to protect batteries, appliances and inverter. -Built-in battery charger -Generator Tie-In -Stackable w/ another identical inverter for power expansion 10) GROUNDING: The purpose of grounding is to provide an alternative path for current to flow so it doesn't fry you or any circuit components. On the AC side, the white (nuetral) and the green (gound) wires all ultimately lead to a copper ground rod outside of the house and/or to copper pipes leading to well/water source. On DC side, all negative leads will ultimately be connected to batteries, and all should have a path to same ground rod as the AC side. BONDING: the point of bonding, one spot in whole system, is the point where the AC nuetral and ground connect with the DC negative wires. May be done at inverter, ground rod but most often at the AC breaker panel. 11) LIGHTNING PROTECTION: Lighning rods, solar arrays, and turbines help in a sense to balance the difference between positive charge of sky and negative ground. Need lightening arresters (at well casings, charge controllers etc). 12) RAINWATER COLLECTION: painless formula for rwc= area of roof (sq ft) X inches of rain X .623 = (.623 is derived from 0.0833, the number of feet in an inch, times 7.48 the number of gallons in a cubic foot) so -- 1200 sqft roof gets 1/2 inch rain = 1200x.5x.623=373.8 gallons === EastWind Community.org ====== To request a visit, please, if you haven't already, send us a letter about yourself, your talents, your work and living situations.
