Fall 2015 November 2 Monday


47 degrees this morning, walk 38:41 minutes

November of 2015, I can remember when that seemed so far off, like it was some kind of vague country.  It is here.  

One way I mark the passage of time is my dental appts., which are normally every six months.  When I made my last dental appointment (for the middle of November), it seemed so far off.  

Kind of like my yearly physicals, I want to see if I will live another year (no guarantees of course!)

Song 656 of 6,544 tunes on my original iPod.  I believe that is 10%, or close enough.  I seem go through a phase of listening to a lot of “b sides”  (not all bad by any means, some are great, some I wonder how the artist could ever do a song so bad!).  

Just heard Aaron Tippin.  Several years ago, we rounded a corner, and there he was!  He is distinctive enough, I recognized him right away.  He was very nice and took a picture with Aliene and I and he really seemed just like his songs.  He sings a lot of songs like “Working Man’s PhD” and “You’ve got to sand for something”.  

I think the World Series last night indicates that sometimes a Managers intuition (not just in baseball!)  is right!  (When the pitcher threw a fit because the Manager was going to take him out and then relented and let him stay in the the Royals tied the game.)  Of course we will never know what would have happened otherwise.  Of course, we were happy about it!  

Aliene and I are start looking for houses.  We just don’t want to live in a city that cares so little for it’s residents that it would allow such incidents as the enrichment of commercial on residential areas.  Shows very little concern for residents.  Also, quite frankly, I want to be near a bike trail, this city pays no attention to bikers or walkers, except where they can brag about it downtown.  

Very strong and disturbing dream yesterday morning.  Not sure what it means, hopefully nothing.  I don’t believe dreams predict anything, but I think they can provide a subconscious warning.  

11-1-15 Dream:  Dreamed was at the Pleasant Valley School House where I wen tot school when I was in grades 1-4, except it was much smaller and had a very small staircase with a bathroom at the top.

I dreamed  I was outside and some deer were eating outside of the school and a little puppy started playing with me.

Angela and I were there and then a group of men drove up with a bunch of military equipment.  They were silent and didn’t even really look at us.  One of the vehicles had a big trailer with a big rocket on it.  

They set up a howitzer  and sent off several blasts north where I always watched the trees  when I was a student there.  

At this time, I was watching out of the stair case, which was kind of open up to a certain point than was size of a regular enclosed stair case.  Angela was with me for some reason.

I was up in the stair case and they started enclosing Angela and I in with metal.  I retreated up to the stair case thinking I should call 9-1-1.

They didn’t say anything.

the men took Angela’s phone.

they kept enclosing me in while I debated calling 9-1-1.

I started calling 9-1-1 and the men noticed and started after me.

It seemed very real.  I woke up and it took me a while to realize it was only a dream. 

Hope my dreams get happier than this!  On the other hand, I figure I dreamed that for a reason and I am thinking about what it could mean.  


That’s it for now, Monday, November 2, 2015
