Notes - not a good start / meteorite in Russia / musings


         Mid-morning. You awoke with some tribulation during the night. This was caused by a disturbing and disorienting dream. In the process you began wondering if your experiment was going too far; especially when you thought of the fictional House on the Strand. No drugs for you as an experimenter but self-inducing hypnosis is similar. Plus, you were exuberant on your FB page with the focus on a science article. Here is what you published.

Most every week something new in the field of the sciences pops up. To me the pop ups are like Christmas presents when I was a kid. Just read, no need to unwrap. rho Trust you find this article enjoyable also. Again, nature at work. What kinds of things do we have in our heads that so far we are not aware of? Perhaps evolution just has to take its course. I'm optimistic, but then, why not, I'm seventy years young. Hey, hope you all had a good Valentine's Day, I did. ;-) rho

         1012 hours. I was concerned that I was becoming manic and I debated on stopping the experiment because there is no reason for me to even be on the edge as I feel I was once before in 1988. I saw another psychiatrist (I forget his name) in the UC area, one who focused on "esoteric mental problems". He listened and didn't feel I had any real problems. My concern was that he would ask me to stop teaching. This would have been terrible of course but I would if he felt I would endanger the students with my thoughts and ideas (which I kept private to myself at the time). 

         This is one of the reasons I insist you have a blog for your notes. How do you think this would be if only you read what you wrote? You ended up wondering whether this last night's disorienting dream should be mentioned in the blog as an ongoing sense of objectivity with the margins of these notes. This is my response to that concern. - Amorella    
    
         I am feeling better today but last night's thoughts were sobering and bringing up the older issue. Reason keeps me in check, my own reasoning abilities. I do not want to cross the line. They have always been in my head even the night I thought I (an agnostic) might be having a short dance with an Angel-of-G---D. (1025)

         Night terrors come to mind, boy. I see first hand what makes you uncomfortable and I see why. I figuratively see; no, I do not have eyes so there is no need to ask. You had two images from the dreams that are coming into mind -- the tortoise and the cat. You were the tortoise in your shell and I was the cat toying with you. - Amorella

         Yes, I was green-gray in color and you were a black and white English shorthair cat like Jadah. You were pawing at me to come out of my shell and play. (1049)

         You have completed your exercises while Carol is washing clothes. She is also thinking on tomorrow and coordinating with Mary Lou for you to pick her up at Olive Garden on Sawmill Road before the three of you head over to the Paik's in Dublin for Brennan's first birthday 'Korean tradition' celebration at noon. Carol wrapped the present today and it and the card are heading to the car this afternoon so nothing is forgotten for the day trip.

         We missed this 'celebration' for Owen's first birthday because Carol was unwell with 'something' that could have been meningitis, but it was not. In any case we didn't want to chance it so we stayed home. It should be a lot of fun. Brennan will be dressed up in the same Korean costume that Owen and Paul were dressed in when they were one year old. (1146)

         Check your email as you have not, then we will move on. - Amorella

         This is an odd request; however, I will check it. I have been meaning to do so.

         Perhaps the reason, boy, you have been meaning to do so and it is causing 'interference'. - Amorella

         1225 hours. Very cool. A really large meteorite crashed, at least larger than normal. The News said it was a once in a thousand years event. I'm glad no one was killed. When I first saw the report I thought about the asteroid but it doesn't pass the earth until this afternoon and that's over Southeast Asia if I remember right.

         "Very cool." It was not entertainment for those close by. - Amorella

         No. I don't know why I said that. I know better. Sorry.

         Sorry because you are embarrassed? - Amorella

         Both. I am sorry because of both.

         Post. - Amorella


        Late lunch at Panera/Chipotle then home. Doug sent you a great site on the Russian meteor. Here it is: Amorella

Meteorite in Russia: all videos in one place
Today
I happen to live 300kms away from Chelyabinsk, where a meteorite exploded earlier today. Here are all the videos I could find featuring the meteorite explosion.

          1947 hours. It has been an interesting day -- a meteorite and an asteroid in the same 24 hours. I am glad no one was killed. Watching the videos on the event from Russia was interesting -- human behavior is also interesting. If it had hit major cities like Moscow or St. Petersburg it would have been terrible. No one could have been forewarned; no one can be forewarned of such an event. Our planet has been fortunate the last few thousand years. We have been fortunate. The planet has been hit, probably several times a century with such a similar sized meteor but over the oceans or very desolate areas. I'm glad I have moved on from using cosmic-like disasters in the Merlyn books, except for a couple of Grandma's Stories along the way.

         How can you say such a thing, you had all but a half dozen people die in Braided Dreams? - Amorella

         I didn't think about that. It was an alternate Earth though. No, one of the Earth's was the alternate one. I don't remember which. It doesn't make any difference. I am so glad we are doing a trilogy upgrade. Five years ago was a different world. I may work on Pouch 12 or I may just go to bed early. We have the drive to Dublin in the morning. (2010)

         It's up to you orndorff. Later or tomorrow night, dude. - Amorella
