The reason polvo did not see us was probably that whole Space Time Continuum thingy. As we all know the space/time continuum is curved. The curvature occurs as a result of the influence of mass against movement in time. As three-dimensional beings, we perceive time only as a result of memory. We remember what was as a variable interval from what is now. If we had zero memory, we could not detect time - we would exist only for the moment. The result of this is our apparent perception of time as a linear line, always going forward. Unfortunately neither the concept of space nor time is well defined, resulting in a dilemma. But there seem to be approximations that help us understand what's going on a little bit. The operative one being the Einstein description. Yea I am talking about all that E=MC...... stuff. However, such things as string theory seem to call this into question. But it is probably possible for all of us to be present at the same point in time/space and not be able to see each other. Maybe one day we can use a fancy digital camera to snap a shot of all dimensions at once. When that day come, I will be trading in my 2.1 megapixel camera for one for sure.
Sometimes (ok, much of the time), Ribhard has insights that are pure genius. At other times, he is just watching cars going around in a circle (what he calls NASCAR), giving his brain a rest. Or is he again seeing something I cannot?
Yes, at times he reminds me of Rain Man... just rocking back and forth in his chair mumbling "number 8 car, must be the number 8 car" and then something about food, and then the space time continium... if possible P-lou I'd like to take him to Vegas with me and see if he can help out with some of the odds there... just an idea.

Right outside the men's room? Where is this?
Right outside the men's room.
I went back and checked my notes....and abbzug is correct...it was right outside the men's room.
I was right outside the men's restroom last night and didn't see you for some reason?
oh, because this picture was taken right outside the men's room in the past.

ya, that's what i meant.

I will need about 1/2 hour notice for the vegas trip.......
