Synopsis

I came through this world at the American Empire's peak, allowing me to practice "advanced fooling around."
This book is the fourth in the series of "Thought Poppers" books. In addition to phrase pictures, it contains drawings, photographs, poems, and autobiographical writings that will inform and entertain you. A thought popper is a phrase that triggers related concepts that amplify one's understanding. PPG is an acronym for Philosophical Phrase Generator, which is a database of nouns, noun phrases, adjectives, and adjectival phrases that I've been building since the early 1990s, and a software system I've coded that forms them into phrases along with a few bells and whistles.
Dear Reader, please hold back your years of training to read down the columns but, instead, allow your eyes to flow through the phrase pictures as they would if you were a butterfly flitting over the pages looking for nectar or in a gallery looking at a painting. Pick out a few, contemplate on a phrase or two, and come back for more later as you may wish.

Part 2 contains incidents from my life that have philosophical, spiritual, and "gosh gee wizz" aspects. Upon attaining my doctorate in physics, I realized I was trained to count the number of quantum mechanical angels dancing on the head of a pin. I didn't pursue that training but used my credentials to travel the world with my family. There were sojourns in Bangkok, Thailand, the small market town of Patini in the very south of Thailand, and fun visits to the island city of Penang, which was, for us, in the late 1960s, the pearl of the Orient. In India, we spent time in Mysore, Bangalore, Kashmir, the Himalayas, Calcutta, and the backwaters of Kerala. I write about the times I bathed in the Ganges River. We also sojourned in Manhattan, Upstate New York, and the Bay Area.

I encourage the "reader" to practice some "advanced fooling around" as they encounter the book's content.
