Unloading my mind.....
My injury is causing me to take so much longer to do everything that I find it hard to get on here.
But, it's time for another information dump from this over zealous mind of mind....prepare for the randomness!
Dreams.
I'm one of those people who dreams all night and remembers many of them right down to the colors, sound and smells. For instance, in the early morning hours of today, I was dreaming that I had been invited to a party. It was a beautiful sunlit, warm day and the party was out of doors, filled with happy people and great music. Suddenly I was told (by person unseen) to look up. Above us was a sleek airplane with a windowed compartment hanging from the bottom of it. I could see into the compartment and realized that it was a laboratory. I then left the party and proceeded to a nearby barn where there was an angry bull trying to get out of his stall. The boards on the stall were barely containing him, and I kept petting his nose. This calmed him somewhat but I knew that he really wanted out to stomp me. Cue the alarm and the end of the dream. Weird, huh?

Congressional hearings.......
Today the Congress held a hearing on what to do about gun violence. Gabby Gifford spoke eloquently about how it's past time to do something. Wayne LaPierre spoke about how it's not the fault of guns. Legislators on both sides lined up along predictable lines. Cameras snapped, reporters jostled for space and it looked good. The possibilities of anything being done? Slim to none. Posturing doesn't always happen on runways. It happens in the Congress as well. (Personal note: Wayne LaPierre gives me a massive pain in the posterior. The man is simply odious.)

Mother Nature has PMS.
It's January. The best we should hope for is a thaw, you know, around 35 degrees or so. Instead we have temperatures in the 60s and wild swings in weather, some violent to the extreme. Lives will be lost. It's time to give this old girl some serious chocolate!

The Super Bowl.
Yawn. The sun will come out on the 4th no matter who wins. Enjoy the party but keep in mind that there are more important things in life. Like....pitchers and catchers report!

Survival stories....
A man in Central Pennsylvania had been missing since Saturday. He had headed out on his snowmobile and never returned. They found him today, dehydrated and tired, but safe. Sometimes miracles do occur. He had crashed his machine into a frozen pond and crawled out and stayed under the shelter of some trees. Despite being soaked and the night temperatures in the 40s, he appears to have survived this and will be ok. Good feelings all around, since many times these types of stories have not so happy endings.

Prognosticating rodents and PETA..
It's time for the groundhog to do his thing again. And the regularly scheduled PETA protest will occur. That's about as exciting as it gets in February in Punxy, Pa.
Alrighty then, I feel better. Time to clog the cerebral spaces with more stuff. Think of it as cognitive over-eating.
