Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
…there’s a ton of birds in this photo…. you might need to hold your computer up to the light to see them.
1) To be able to type up this here List here by voice dictation
2) To be able go out into the world today and work and find items (for the rest of this list)
3) To be able to record via the technology available the following items:
(your weekly rustic)
4) To be willing to accept that this weekend bloghop is just that, a weekend bloghop. Nothing that I’ve read in the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules) says that a post need to be complete in order to join in, (it just needs to be complete before the end of the weekend).
5) To be willing
6) To be willing
7) To be ready to
8) To be ready (totally recommend the movie, ‘Predestination’… it’s got Ethan Hawk in it (and I suspect he’s a clark with a secondary roger)…anyway, it’s based a short story by one of the giants of science fiction, Robert Heinlein (Robert is, hands down, the total, time travel story master… I won’t try to cite an example, cause either it would a) give away the fun or 2) not make any damn sense, seeing how I am not the ‘describe the time travel Master’s story’ ….master. ya know?
9) To be ready
10)… I would say this: from time to time we see a person write, ‘I just can’t see that I have anything to include on list of 10 Items’. My response is always (in my head, or typed as a reply): one of the reasons this TToT is the cool thing that it is, is that it is the involvement of the person that earns, creates and/or garners the benefits. (yes, I really do think like that… you know those ‘thought ballons’ in comic strips? they’d be way, way to big to fit in one of those little panels…. anyway… I suspect that you will be reading a somewhat incomplete (no, not inchoate lol) TToT Post this week.

And, yes, it would have been simpler to a) filled in the missing Items from yesterday’s Post, thereby making good on my promise to come back and complete the Post or 2) just write a whole new Post for today, seeing how only one is necessary for participation in the TToT. (well, apparently that is not overly true, since I am nesting this Post into the Item in yesterday’s Post). Be that as it may, If I may….
10) I’m trying this ‘graphic experiment’ within Item 10 of the original Post for the very good reason that the thing I am most grateful for is the sense of community that has been created here at the TToT Weekend bloghop ( TToT Weekend bloghop motto: ‘what? sure! really? why not!!’ )
9) I will always be grateful to my co-hostinae for being included in their tiny army. ( the ‘TToT tiny army’ motto: ‘teach a person to eat and they’ll ask for desert, teach them to write a blog and you’ll never hear the end of it.’)
8) I can’t say that I quite understand the numbering logic this week, except it has something to do with: that movie I saw, time travel stories in general, MC Escher ( MC Escher Poster motto: ‘helping clarklike college students get semi-lucky since 1969‘)
7) Since I ‘still’ have to experiment with font size in this Post, I had better move down one more level…
5) I am grateful that this block quote within a block quote actually seems to work! Maybe there’s hope for developing my rogerian aspect, as this effort required I focus my attention on learning and following an established procedure…very, exactly as it must be done. Not that clarks have any trouble with following directions…. ha ha
4) sure…why not try a graphic!
3) of course I had to try for one more level… even if it becomes un-readable …what part of ‘he’s from Y Chromia (Y Chromian co-host motto: ‘if it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing! … no wait!! ‘more is more!!’…. one more!! no don’t go!! ‘one more, this is the last time I promise’) lol
2) sorry lost track….
1) Back! well, sorta
There! that wasn’t difficult!
I don’t believe I’ve missed a weekend Post yet and, maybe it’s a Y Chrome thing or not but the consequences of breaking a streak are not something that I take lightly.

FRIST!? REALLY?
I agree with the completion thing … only problem is YOU dont often complete them!!! GET DANCING BUCKO!!!!
damn it Janet!
While you still have all of tomorrow to fill in those blanks, I think you could best invest your time learning the Time Warp… The SGV are beckoning…dance , dance, dance! lol!
whats to learn? you just jump to the left….
lol
Hahaha! Touche!
Oh, well played!
thank you
Yes I love love love verbal dictation.
Also I see the birds … and I love the cows!
I will try to use it…for at least a couple of items, after I leave the office this evening.
Totally okay with me. Everyone deserves a break, a pass.
thank you Val!
Technology is awesome! I want voice dictation, sometimes have wonderful ideas that I’d just want to record and go back to later, but forget about once I actually get on the computer.. Sleep deprivation sucks!!
Oh but it was FUN! And I think we need to start the Teeny Tiny TToT army. Definitely. Not sure what we’d fight for.
Rogers?
Anyway. Well writ, and half writ, and no half-wit amongst it.
yeah… we do manage that each and every week. As a gesture of my appreciation, I will dedicate the remainder of my virtual words (today) to ‘thread-jumping’… aka “how rude!! who asked him to butt in to our conversation? I have half a mind to report him to the authorities!!”
Bwahahahahah *grins*
Why, Lizzi, all things good, of course!
the Tiny Army it is!
Not necessary to be a complete post, Clark…it’s all what you put in it!
I totally agree Michelle…
In keeping with the idea of dancing and music and sharing (mindworms, in this case, since I’ve found the best way to get a song out of your mind is to replace it with another, in the hopes that they cancel each other out).
Round and round and round you go…yet I read every word. :)
thats your clarklike secondary there, missy
Eh, I’m with Ivy on this one. Get dancing!
…(see reply to Michelle… a bit more current than RHPS*)
* yeah, current is a relative
I often start off my TToTs with “I don’t think I have ten things this week” and then before I know it, I sure enough do. And then there are the weeks where I really don’t have that many and I link up anyway. Lizzi would have to check me on this, but I don’t think I’ve skipped any since I started – at least not intentionally. Some weeks the TToT has been the only thing that’s gone up on my blog at all, but I’m OK with that. The process of finding the good to be thankful for, the people who support and encourage, the camaraderie that results…that’s all what it’s about. Even if there’s only one thing to say, do it anyway.
totally agree (about) the camaraderie and community… (Lizzi has accomplished quite a thing here with an idea and a blog)
I think yer jest afraid to dance! Nicely done Clark! Even in microscopic font!
(now look what you done started!)
lol
Time travel movies, Calvin and Hobbes, M. C. Escher, a tiny army….who wouldn’t give thanks!
Your numbering system makes perfect sense and makes me feel all organized and complete and stuff.
….
…lol( get the hell outta here)
#9 is probably my favorite thing I’ve read of yours, Clark!
thank you, Dyanne….
