Thoughts for the day

Moisture from the sky has returned to our town. Last night, starting around 5pm, I got at least 6 severe rainstorm alerts on my phone. Finally, around 6:30 the heavy male rainstorm arrived. Lots of noise, lots of lightning. That lasted about 45 minutes, but the rain continued sporadically throughout the night. At noon today it is still cloudy with intermittent rain. No complaints. The forest needs the moisture.

Recently, Trump revealed his ‘Presidential Walk of Fame’ in the White House near the Oval Office. It is b/w facial photos of every president. Trump is such a tiny human, in place of Biden’s photo he put a picture of the ‘autopen’. It is disrespectful to over ½ the country that voted for Biden, disrespectful to the White House history, and unbelievably petty.

Historic Figures who died too soon…

Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath's writing was both emotionally rich and soul-piercing. She died at 30 and also left behind work that did indeed hint at her even deeper literary greatness.

Wrong Common Knowledge

Carrots Improve Your Eyesight

Carrots are healthy and contain vitamin A, which is good for your eyes, but eating them won’t magically give you perfect vision. This myth actually started as World War II propaganda to explain why British pilots had such good night vision – when in reality, they were using radar technology.

Random Thoughts…

Trees are just really slow explosions.

I'd like to think somewhere out there, in indefinite, endless space, I can find some damn peace and quiet.

My GPS says "Estimated Arrival Time." I see "Time to Beat."

Me on a test: "Well, I haven't put down B in a while; yah, let's go with that."
