Smart?
Smart... or too smart.
Seems like everything today is "smart".
Are some things simply too smart?
Are some things simply too smart?
Calmness
Calmness... It's that really a word?
Well, if not, it should be... The act of staying calm.
Well, if not, it should be... The act of staying calm.
Calm when everyone around you is getting all dramatic and emotional over everything they hear. Reacting to everything as if it's the end of the world. Having their own idea of what life should be, and critical of anything that differs from their perspective of their perfect world. That says alot about today's society.
Choosing a different intellectual and emotional path can bring you peace and calmness that most will never experience. It all starts with controlling one emotional reaction at a time, then the next, and so on.

Ian
Seeing some of the Devastation from Hurricane Ian, it is certainly living up to the catastrophic warnings that were being issued. Storm surges were being reported up the 18-ft high along the coastal communities. Heavy rain expected to exceed 15" to possibly top 24". High winds sustained at 140 mph with wind gusts exceeding 165 mph creating historic devastation and massive power outages. Early on, just in coastal cities 800,000 homes without power. Due to flooding and tidal surges drinking water even if still functioning will be contaminated and undrinkable. Emergency response centers receiving hundreds of calls for help from people that were told to evacuate as early as last Saturday... despite the warnings and being told that emergency services would not be available, they ellected to stay. No emergency services are available. It's hard to believe that anyone would not evacuate given the warnings. I feel bad for those that didn't have the resources to evacuate... but it's hard to feel sorry those that could leave and despite advance warnings, made the bad decision to stay, fully knowing the possible catastrophic devastation... knowing that even if they survive, they will have to leave any way because there will be no services of any kind.
It's still early on, and Ian has a long way to go, but the outcome certain seems bleak. They are certainly in our thoughts and hopes for the best.
Ian... living up to worst case scenarios. Affecting millions for probably years to come.
No doubt we'll see worse photos tomorrow.

And anything and everything that could possible keep me from sleeping constantly happens.
The a/c vent is right over my bed, so the bed was a bit chilly. Started with only the sheet... chilly... added the light blanket... hot. Take off the blanket... Still got... Take off the sheet... Still warm. A/c comes on... Now cold. This cycle repeats several times... Still can not fall asleep. Could not get comfortable in any position, so tossing and turning is non stop. Add to this... bionic hearing. I would hear every possible little noise including my own breathing. Add to all this... My smart watch, which won't light up by motion during the day, now lights up with every little movement at night. It's like a camera flash going off in a dark room. So after 90 minutes of useless efforts to sleep, I just get up. Now wide awake until who knows what hour.
This is my life now... Or so it seems. Arggg! That's pirate talk for being unhappy. Maybe by 4 or 5am I'll be sleepy again. Arggg!

My sleep cycles have been really wacked for several months. Wacked? Yes, that's a real medical term... I think. Anyway.
Aside from waking up in the middle of the night, most times to see the cosmic message of 3:33 am... Things have gotten worse.

It certainly would be nice to have yall work on something meaningful to the public at large instead of your own selfish political agendas.
