Check it out

Heard a noise outside...

Couldn't see anything through the window...

Strange electronic noises...

Went outside to see...

Some kind of a drone.

Just in time to see this before it floated away.

Seems kinda familiar. 

Good Morning

Good Morning!  Glancing out the window you would think it's an inviting bright sunny warm start to your day. Upon closer look that impression will change dramatically. First there's the snow on the ground and the ice cycles hanging off the owning... then your breath freezes on the window glass as you realize that its only 10° (22° below freezing) and it's clearly a long way from being warm. But it is sunny... And it is morning. Y'all enjoy your day.

Humanity

Humanity... Without any humanity? 

Ravens Win!

NFL DIVISIONAL ROUNDROUND

Baltimore Ravens Win

Snow and cold

What's good about winter?

Thinking... thinking.... thinking...

Still thinking... wait... nothing.

The cold over rides any possible good.

24°  BELOW FREEZING

with Snow.

The New Year

The New Year... Off to a good start. 

I hope so...

Good advise... No matter the age. 

If you learn it sooner in life than later, 

Perhaps ... Just perhaps...

You will be so much the better. 

 

The rule...

Becoming more the rule, 

Rather then the exception. 

And while my good nature

and looking for the good in people

remains my main outlook on life,

Sometimes there are those

That make that possible. 

Especially near big cities 

And metropolitan areas.

Too many people have lost

their humanity. 

Believe...

Believe? 
What to believe? 

Clearly you can't believe politicians, 

or anything political.

The News Media, 

they seldom tell the whole story, 

or all perspectives. 

Social Media,

There's Always an agenda,

One sided perspective.

And they are all intending to not only 

forward misinformation or outright deceive,

But tell you what to think, 

How to feel,

Who you should hate, 

And what you should be offended by. 

They justify their agenda,

as if they are absolutely righteous. 

The best solution...

 

Clear and Cold

Clear and  Cold... very cold.

and very clear.

Challenge

Sometimes ... Life is a Challenge 

Strange awakenings

Strange Awakenings

Being stirred to being awake from sleep. Somewhere between deep sleep and starting to awake to a full consciousness... there's the twilight realm that seems semi real... Somewhere between dreams and awake. Physically real? Or part of a imagined make believe world of dreams? Momentsry strange unusual feelings both physically and mentally in a  shadowy semi conscious state of awareness. 
Being stirred awake and the sensation of someone momentarily gently shaking your feet to wake you ... when there is no one there.

Strange to say the least.  Physical manifestation of your body or something else... Clearly unexplained. Imagination? 

One thing is for certain,  reviewing my smart watch monitor via my smart phone, my blood oxygen level dipped to 90% each time I was awakened by the sensation of someone gently shaking my feet to wake me up. Normally its 98% awake and 95% sleeping. Coincidence?  This happened 4 times lately. Strange indeed.

Logical... not really. No matter how logical, being open minded to possibilites, irreguardless of probabilities... well, you decide. Perhaps you have experienced something that was not open to logical explaination. A sense of something present, yet unseen. A overwhelming attraction to some historical event as if you experienced it first hand, even thought it occured before you were born.

A sense of having been someplace that you have never been before, while knowing what is around the corner before you get there. You are near or able to touch something historical, a artifact from long ago... a thing or a place... and have a feeling of familiarity beyond any logical explanation. 

Once while visiting a battlefield in Yorktown Virginia,  walking around the fortifications known as readouts, an unexplained experience manifested itself where like an conscious haze, I could faintly hear sounds of the cannons and rifles and smell the spent gunpowder.

Not spooky or scary... not real... but something. Unexplained. 
But I guess this happens to others... right?

Reality is perception. Perception is different for everyone.

Just something to think about on this cold winters day. 

Rules

Rules... There for a reason. 

Personal Favorites.

8... 18... 39.

Reminders

Reminders  

There's all kinds of things that trigger memories. 
Reminders of things from the past. 
Reminders from long ago. 
Sometimes,  too long ago. 

Watched this as a kid.

Yep, so long ago. 

Plants

Sometimes...

It seems like my plants take on a personality of their own. 
I can almost hear them speaking to me. 

Mania

NFL Wild Card Weekend.

#1 Texas needs to win and beat Cleveland.
